War on Terror Boardgame
September 28, 2006 - by Ian Bogost

War on Terror BoardgameThere is a really nice-looking war on terror boardgame now available. I haven't played, but it's got an Axis of Evil spinner, you can play as or against the terrorists, and there's even a balaclava of evil that players have to wear in certain circumstances. Here's the official blurb:

The goal of War on Terror, the boardgame is to liberate the world, ridding it of fear and terrorism forever. Naturally, only the biggest and strongest Empires are up to this task and so a certain amount of dominance needs to be shown. Alternatively, you can play as the terrorists, fighting for a world without empires.
