Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After having seen this game mentioned on the Web many months ago, I finally obtained a copy when a US distributor got on board. Don't listen to the hype about this game sympathizing with political Terrorists, it does so no more than Risk encourages military hegemony or Monopoly causes the real estate bubble. It plays very much like those games, and like Anti-Monopoly with the added aspect of an NPC player: the Terrorists.
In their turn, real players can support Terrorist forces to their advantage, but doing so risks a backlash as well. In addition, if real players are defeated playing as Empires of their own, they're not out of the game, they can continue by joining forces with the Terrorists. Empire players can even play both sides by supporting State terrorism, becoming an Evil Empire and donning the evil balaclava. Game conditions are influenced by Empire and Terrorist cards, representing situations from today's headlines. The rules even include templates for you to add your own cards to the game.
The game has multiple outcomes: one player's Empire can win by dominating the others, the Terrorists can defeat all the Empires giving victory to however many of the players are Terrorist, or Terrorists can be eliminated leaving World Peace and a tie for the real players.
While the game's tone and content are certainly satirical and political in nature, no particular regime is lambasted so it is accessible to all ideological persuasions and all ages 10 and up. So don't drop twice the price for the battery-gobbling "Electronic Banking" version of some perennial consumerist chestnut, invest in hours of mind-opening social interaction with your family and friends with the War On Terror!
