Politicsophy

Abstract

Politicsophy is a clever and comical board-game of politics that questions the ideologies of both left and right side of politics in the US with a satirical and historical lens. Blue or left, red or right, both are ideological and comical. The game is strongly satirical, but the historical perspective gives it balance. Notwithstanding, the White house challenges give players the opportunity to campaign for the presidency and make decisions like real events. How much does anyone know about congress and the judiciary system is often evident in the answers provided. Consequently, players will get a history lesson while at the same time ascribe to a friendly competition showing no one wants to lose no matter their ideological differences.
