It's an annoying and stupid game. It's all about being a landlord. One or two players are lucky and they are the only ones having a good time. The rest of the players are spending their time losing.
"Well ackshually, Monopoly was originally called 'The Landlord Game' and was all about how landlording was bad" — I don't care, you're still spending an evening pretending to be a landlord to your loved ones. The game is completely unenjoyable because it emulates capitalism too well.
Fuck off with competitive boardgames. Give me games that are merely facilitating having fun and being social and where only nerds keep score, like charades or pictionary .
Scratch a Liberal: Weimar Germany Edition, except it makes the liberals the "good" guys and leaves out the part where they call in the freicorps to kill Rosa Luxembourg and help put the Nazis in power.
It's pretty much amongus in card game form.
My FLGS had players reskin the game (Secret Palpatine) so it wouldn't scare away business.
That version is far more accurate tho.
That part DOES exist. The last couple of Fascist policies are Assassinations. One of the only two ways for liberals to win is to assassinate Hitler. Except if Hitler has been playing correctly, he has been giving no indication that he's Hitler, so it's unlikely the liberals will pick Hitler. Instead, they're more likely to kill another liberal, thus making there be less choices for chancellor, thus making it more likely Hitler will be chancellor.
