Not GTA, not Star Citizen, not any game with actual gameplay, story, or anything like that.

Just a freaking Niantic reskin for freaking Monopoly.

I live in the wrong timeline.

    Monopoly, stripped of it’s context as a political statement, is a very mean and cruel work of art.

      It shows that capitalism will market anything, even critique against capitalism.

      It’s the board game equivalent of people buying Che Guevara T-shirts at Primark.

        No. Printing out blurbs of communist theory on collectible cards, selling binders for when you complete a ‘book’.

        Possibly giving them stats so they can fight each other.

        The current meta is super pro centralism since the last rules change, and i got some hot boosters this week, so my maoist third worlder deck is probably my strongest right now, but i really prefer my bonnot-kropotkin deck, it’s just the cards i need to make it pop off before like turn 10 are too expensive so it’s kind of a mess right now.
