One could write a graduate thesis about the political ramifications this game had on an entire generation. But that same person would not be allowed to cross into fictional Arstotzka with their thesis, and that's the point. This game belongs in a museum, period. Play it while you can.

I know my hours only say 33 minutes but trust me I have played this over and over on my old steam account. I would recommend this extremely, it is a classic game. I do get the shit scared out of me any time I get a pink slip for marking something wrong though.

I do not understand the hype. This game is super boring and just doing a bunch of paper. There is barely and atmosphere or any emotion to it at all. I barely felt bad for anyone & clearly a lot of games have made me feel emotional and feel bad for characters, but I did not care at all in this game. Everyday, I would just make exceptions for 2 people and take 2 penalties since that's how much you can take before…
