Nasty American politics as lame Monopoly ripoff...

Ah, board games! So often reflecting what people REALLY think.  Not sure which is more offensive - the depiction of people who need social assistance as lazy and useless or the vaguely racist image of Obama as a "Marxist clown".  Kinda reminds me of this game...

To our American readers out there...

A game of 'Politics'...

Game designer John Ruf was kind enough to send a review copy of his new card game Politics.  He self-published it on TheGamecrafter.com but is looking to produce a much higher quality version by raising money on Kickstarter.

Now, I've just been too damn busy to get the game on the table in the last couple weeks but I plan to give it a try and post some thoughts by the end of the week.  But you should go take a look at his page on the Kickstarter site as he's got 17 more days to raise the money.  Go.  GO!
