Socialism: The Game (fan expansion for Monopoly) (2016)

Overview

Way back during the depths of the Great Depression in 1934, patriotic American and underemployed heater salesman Charles B. Darrow literally took an idea he’d refined to Parker Brothers, who literally bought it.

That idea was the board game Monopoly, and Darrow – who’d claimed he’d invented it himself – became the world’s first millionaire game designer/capitalist.

But he didn’t invent it – he only expanded upon versions of traditional games that had been played for generations. In other words, he made it slightly better.

Way back during the aftermath of the Great Recession in 2016, the founders of Diogenes Games – also underemployed, patriotic Americans and potential millionaire game designers/capitalists – literally took an idea born during the historically weird presidential campaign and literally sold it. To you. That idea was the expansion of Darrow’s board game Monopoly, called SOCIALISM.

OBJECT The object of the game is to achieve total fairness and equality through the renting and selling of property under a modern, progressive, and populist public policy. The game is over when no one is bankrupt and everyone has $300 or less!

NOTE The Game consists of an enlightened rule-book, a quick-reference card, 20 “Fat Chance” and 20 “Communism Chest” cards, and 4 new game tokens. The object of SOCIALISM: The Game is not to "win," but instead, is to achieve total fairness and equality through the renting and selling of property under a modern, progressive, and populist public policy. Requires a copy of Hasbro’s MONOPOLY to play.
