They've taken a fair amount of heat for this game...

[randomness]

...but I figured folks on my friends list would be interested:

War on Terror, the board game: http://www.waronterrortheboardgame.com/

"It's got suicide bombers, political kidnaps and intercontinental war. It's got filthy propaganda, rampant paranoia and secret treaties...and the Axis of Evil is a spinner in the middle of the board."

At £26 (plus £5 shipping to North America), it's a bit pricey. But if any of you orders a copy I'd be interested in seeing it.

I've been drooling over this; I really want to get my brother a copy for Xmas! I mean, come on, the mechanics are a mix of Settlers of Cataan, Diplomacy, and Risk, how cool is that? And I love the satirical premise. This game looks awesome...

My favorite part is the Axis of Evil bit. I'd get it, but it is a significant amount of money for something I think I'd play once for novelty value and then put back on the shelf with Give Me the Brain. The serious problem with games like these is that you very rarely get enough people willing to devote an hour or two to playing them, so the cost needs to be pretty low.

I've ordered a copy, but you'll have to head to Austin to see it (when I get there - in NZ right now).
