1. Rebrand failed political game from the 80's.
2.?
3. Profit!

I hate to bring this up, but we destroyed welfare back in the 90's.

Did Lilly's father make this game?

LOL. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Scream 'racism' until welfare lawyer gets you $1,000 settlement."

What's a "welfare lawyer"?

gilgigamesh: What's a "welfare lawyer"?

Probably meant groups like the Legal Services Corp. I only know about them because I've read Legal Services Corp. v. Velasquez.

They've been trying way too hard recently but damn, this is a new plateau.

The sad part is we all probably know several people who would actually buy this for a Christmas present.

How farked up are your priorities that you let your political obsessions get in the way of everything in your life? It can't be Monopoly, it has to be OBAMA HATING MONOPOLY.

For fark's sake, I'm as liberal as they come and I don't spend time playing hardcore preachy leftist video games. And they're out there!

This board game is going to be a prized hipster/nerd find in a Salvation Army in 2030.

In the process of trying to mock something they make a mockery of themselves.

It's the folly of extremism.

Preachy leftist video games. Jebus, I bet those are boring

Only people on welfare have time to play games.

birchman: The sad part is we all probably know several people who would actually buy this for a Christmas present.

You know, my dad bought me a Sarah Palin T shirt for Christmas the year after I gave him the Hillary Clinton nutcracker, but...

No. I don't know a single person who would purchase this as anything other than a "HAHAHAHAH!! let's bring this to our Socialist meetup for the Lulz".
 
2011-10-27 11:46:41 AM
Good lord, what a mess. I guess they were too busy cramming everything they could in there to come up with something that looks like it has a scintilla of playability too it.

Wow. Just wow.

You know, I amused myself with Bush's myriad shortcomings and laughed at pics of him and the stupid crap he said, but these psychopaths are pathologically obsessed.

Straitjacket obsessed.

That's why I like the board game Political Asylum. It's equal-opportunity hate!

/picked it up at a discount store not knowing what it was and OMG it's hilarious.

Which games are preachy leftist video games?

I can't really say anything since a few years ago I bought a few rolls of toilet paper with Bush and Cheney on them.

"Respect the office" went right out the window as soon as a Dem got elected. Freerepublic is a churning cesspool of vile human garbage, even more than it was during the Clinton years.

Monopoly (new window) started out as a preachy leftist (well, Georgist, anyway) board game.
 
2011-10-27 12:05:18 PM
Gotta be honest, if I could get my hands on this game for free (fark giving the creators of this money) I'm pretty sure it would make for a lulzy drinking game.

I'd buy this game and pack it away just so I could bring it out in 50 years and have a neat little political artifact from the past (which, who knows, might even be worth some money to the right person someday), but I'm not going to give those idiots any of my money.
 
2011-10-27 12:09:13 PM
My self-proclaimed 1%er cousin making $35k a year and living in a vinyl sided ranch in rural Indiana will love this.

You see, it's not fair that the negroes in Gary take all of his money. He's rich, you see.

Dick Chaney's "Quail Hunt"
Just like duck hunt but when you miss instead of a dog laughing at you Dick Chaney shoots you in the face.

Then you appologize.

We play a fun variant of Monopoly.

Get two ten-sided dice. If you roll 25 or lower, you start with half money. If you roll between 26 and 75, you get the normal starting cash. if you roll 76-99 you get twice the starting cash.

If you roll 100 (00), you get all the money in the bank, the ability to leverage that money at 30:1 ratio and turn in cash to make new rules for that session.
 
2011-10-27 12:13:59 PM
Wow. I didn't know that 99% of the US receives welfare!

Echoing this because I want to know if I played any.

I played a preachy religious zelda-esque clone for nes once. Was fun despite flubbing the random quizzes that appear.

//went into a bar, angel took away my powerups as punishment

Dude was on facebook the other day touting his support for 9-9-9. I just wanted to scream "YOU'RE POOR", but I avoid it. My immediate family were always referred to as the "one's who think we're too good for everybody" so I don't stir the pot.

1% Monopoly is when you take a turn, then your opponent punches you in the face and steals your money and the bank.
