Dehumanising people with different political views ain't exactly new. Doesn't mean it should be a selling point of a board game.

France
"antifascist" board game A Adult Game

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...tical-enemies/

You can read some on this pay link

[Cards include
“fascists trigger a fight in a bar”,
“gay couple attacked in city centre”,
and “a migrant aid group needs help”.]

[To respond, players have 17 options,
ranging from “meeting/debate”
to “demonstration”,
“distributing pamphlets” or
“offensive action”.

Makers say violence is not the main thrust
but can be used.
The worst “weapon” is the “cacatof”,
namely a bottle full of “merde” that can be
thrown at enemies.

I love the way fascists are only the enemies of leftists, and not generally decent people everywhere. Saying the quiet part out loud again, Arista

Coming up after the break, we'll be asking if Cluedo is a way to increase the favourability of the police force, or whether boggle is leftist propaganda to turn everyone into union supporting, English teachers.

I wonder how much of the things the player is meant to react to is anything to do with fascism, as opposed to things they just disagree with.

The only one I really don't like the sound of there is the City Centre one, especially considering the Colorado incident has not long happened, that's a bit close to reality.

Maybe they could invent a game of guess who based on where you come from

If you get an answer wrong you lose your job and are hounded by the press.

Take that Boggle!
