Card 1

Your diet of fried food and supplements is making you hallucinate. In a vision, Pepe the Frog dances around you. He approaches, holding a moonshine martini.
Roll a 7 or higher:
If you succeed, take a +1 Prize Card.
If you fail, confess to Pepe that you love fucking your wife and lose -1 Prize Card.

Card 2

You find an unused vial of Hillary Clinton's adrenochrome on the floor.
Gain +1 Health.

Card 3

Once again, you have been silenced! Big tech and their demon-rat allies have conspired to ban your social media account.
If you have ever been banned from a social media site, gain +1 Health.

Card 4

As you scour the floor for lottery tickets, you come across a pipe bomb! Despite its phallic shape, you immediately hurl yourself onto it.
Roll a 7 or higher:
If you succeed, you crush the bomb and save the day. Everyone is safe.
If you fail, every Patriot in your wing loses -1 Health. Talk about a hurt locker!

Card 5

After four years of accusing every famous person of being a Satanic pedophile, you begin to suspect the same of your closest allies.
All Patriots must roll a single die.
The highest roll wins the pedophile battle royale, beating the accusations and taking +1 Prize Card from each Patriot.
In case of tie, roll until a winner is decided.

Card 6: you taser yourself in the balls and die

[-] dead@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago

There's probably a card for this. The website says that there are 125 Event cards in total.

Completely baffling move. They seem to have put a whole lot of effort into what is at best a throw-away joke

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 70 points 7 months ago

High-effort bits are good!

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago

not $65-for-a-box-that-will-never-be-opened good, though

[-] roux@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

Me staring at my copy of Catan that is still in the plastic wrap contemplating buying this for the memes.

They're making money on it, so that's reason enough for them.

Presumably, the few people that buy it will open and use it.

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

I highly doubt they are making much money, if any on it. Board game development and manufacturing is expensive in the U.S. especially for a one-off. A game with this many decks and pieces would probably cost an easy $100 in a regular retail environment, which is likely why the run is limited.

yoooooo i love asymmetrical boardgames (1v2, 1v3, 2v4, etc.). i know this is a bit and a joke but on first glance it looks like it could be legit good

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

is it asymmetric? I thought everyone plays as a patriot?

[-] frogbellyratbone_@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

from my understanding, you can be 1 of 6 PATRIOTS doing PATRIOTIC stuff, or you can be the Capitol Police police to try and stop them.

i've got too too too many boardgames to justify buying this, but it still looks cool

Same reason they take down bootleg feeds of their podcast:

$$$

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That had more to do with the solicitation of donations of the bootleg podcast. Knowing how game development and manufacturing works, I don't think they are going to make much money on this bit. If they really wanted to start making money, they would do ad sponsors or start selling more t-shirts.
