A Kinder, Gentler "War"


Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes Non-Violent Politically Correct War by University Games. Unlike the real game of War, in which the object is to wipe your opponent off the map by taking all his cards, the object of Non-Violent Politically Correct War is to actually get rid of all your cards. Apparently, your enemy will use them more wisely than you will. The Joker (who has all the weapons) is the weakest card in the deck. And when "battles" of similarly-ranked cards occur, players "cooperate" by trading their decks before engaging in battle. Apparently, the cards "stress unity, diversity, love, and peace." Pardon me while I throw up.
