The perfect gift for your friendly neighbourhood insurrectionist.

https://www.newsweek.com/storm-capitol-board-game-celebrates-jan-6-rioters-1857192

Storm the Capitol — TrueAnon Edition" will be available for purchase beginning Saturday, which marks the third anniversary of the attack on the Capitol. The limited edition game, which is designed for 4 to 7 adult players and is being sold for $64.99, is based on the events that unfolded on January 6 and allows players to "Relive one of the funniest days in American history!"

"Take control of one of 6 Patriots as you battle through the Capitol, collecting ballots, taking hostages, and fighting the police. Or play as the Capitol Police and use every means at your disposal to prevent the Patriots from getting to the roof with enough ballots to Stop the Steal," the game's website states.

$65 might somehow be the most outrageous part of this.

You do realize this is made by a left wing group as a parody ? Is secret Hitler made for Nazis?

There was actually a survival game years ago that was going to feature a 9/11 level and (I think) either a Hurricane Andrew or Hurricane Katrina level.  I remember seeing concept art on Gamespot. 

Obviously never got past early development, though.

I guess that's the joke, so that MAGA cultists spend this insane amount of money for game to play insurrection. Would indeed be beyond comical.

It's created by left-wing podcasters. I might have to buy it.

I actually did this in various GTA games, crashing jets into - or actually against - skyrises. There's even a modifaction from private users that you can add the Twin Towers in GTA San Andreas (Downtown Los Santos is actually the skyline of Los Angeles there) by copying a file from the internet into the data.

This would be funnier if it was an actual video game like that Kennedy assassination simulator.

You do realize this is made by a left wing group as a parody ? Is secret Hitler made for Nazis?

My brother brought Secret Hitler for Christmas and it was pretty good.

I just ordered it. The limited edition was sold out, so it won't arrive until April. Oh well, we will have plenty of laughs.

Paradox should make a J6 game, it would fit in well with their target demographic.

Pretty much every paradox player falls into the categories of femboy, transfem, tankie, nazi, super gay guy, or some combo of those

Bumping this thread because I finally got my copy in the mail. They were sold out when I first ordered it in January, but now I have the game. Can't wait to play it.
