Socialism - The Boardgame

Do you ever wish boardgames were more theoretically heavy handed and came with a glossary to describe the sociological theory behind every square on the board? Then perhaps the Canadian game Class Struggle is for you.

I had the opportunity to play it last weekend thanks to a wayward Canadian intellectual who played the game as a child.

Note: I'm happy to say that the Workers ( Jason and I) beat the Capitalists even though they formed alliances with the Professionals and Small Business Owners. Despite the Workers victory, a new era of "peace, democracy, and equality" has yet to be ushered in. Maybe next time we'll have to play by tournament rules.......
