Towards Soviet America társasjáték

Angol leírás

A game of some historical importance, this an "Anti-Monopoly" game published in the Communist Party of the United States Youth Magazine -- The New Pioneer. In the game, up to four players move their pawns around a Monopoly like board. They start with one pawn in each of the cardinal directions. They must make a circuit of the U.S., visiting its many social injustices, before entering the “home stretch" toward Soviet America.

Along the way, players can land on squares that are conducive to the proletarian revolution (United Farmers League or Militant Auto Workers — advance three spaces), or to bourgeois or revisionist detractions (Farm Misleaders or Boss Thugs — go back three spaces). If you’re unlucky, you’ll land on a “blockade” (Child Labor, Deportations, Ku Klux Klan), where players have to wait for a comrade to arrive to set you free.

When a player has gone around the board once, they head for the center, and communist utopia. The center space is illustrated with Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, and Joseph Stalin as well as William Foster, communist candidate for President of the United States.
