Battleground States 2008
(there are other ways to access this game)
Tired of all the political drama of the real world? Then
don’t you just think that it’s high time to poke a little fun at all of this
mess? There’s this game called Battleground States 2008 that is sort of like
the popular board game ‘Risk’, but with a more political (and to a certain
extent geographical) twist to it.
The game doesn’t last very long at just about 15-30 minutes
depending on the strategies that you might opt to pursue. But it’s perfect if
you just want to kill some time and tickle your brain a little while at it.
You can choose your own political party from a selection of
eight factions: the establishment Democrats and Republicans, the struggling but
still there Libertarians and Greens, and others like the Communists, Black
Panthers, Native Americans, and even the Aliens. You can choose to limit the
number of warring parties, but the more the merrier, right?
P.S.
Since this game is meant for 2008 election cycle (as
prominently labelled in the game name), Barack Obama and John McCain are the
ones who represent the Democrats and Republicans respectively.
P.P.S.
It would be nice if they update their game even just a
little.
