The Perfect Last Minute Gift

December 23, 2020 at 10:30 am EST By Taegan Goddard

An annual membership to Political Wire is the perfect gift for just $60.

Here’s how it works:

  • Click here and you will be asked for the recipient’s name, email address and the day you wish the gift to be emailed. You’ll have a chance to add a personalized message.
  • You will then be asked for your name, email address, and payment information.
  • On the day you selected, the recipient will be sent an email with your message and a link to activate their membership. If the recipient is already a Political Wire subscriber, their current membership will be extended.

Or, if you haven’t subscribed yet yourself, you can choose an annual or monthly plan.

Thanks for spreading the word about Political Wire!

Secret Hitler

April 11, 2020 at 12:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Running out of things to do while stuck at home? This looks pretty good: Secret Hitler.

“Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930’s Germany. Players are secretly divided into two teams – liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.”

Secret Hitler
Secret Hitler
  • A fast-paced game of deception and betrayal
  • Beautiful wooden components
  • Solid game boards with foil inlay
  • Hidden roles and secret envelopes for five to ten players

Monopoly Socialism

August 23, 2019 at 10:21 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Just out: Monopoly Socialism, the board game.

Rutger professor Nick Kapur offers a devastating critique, noting the player tokens include a typewriter, an old-timey phone, a pocket watch, a phonograph, and a CRT television set, presumably because “socialism” is so incredibly outdated?

“There are also tons of references to health food and veganism, despite the lack of any clear connection to socialism, apparently because what they share in common is that they are odious things that are fun to mock.”

MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody Adult Party Game
MONOPOLY Socialism Board Game Parody Adult Party Game
  • ADULT TWIST ON THE CLASSIC BOARD GAME: This adult board game is a hilarious adult twist on classic Monopoly gameplay
  • WORK TOGETHER…OR NOT: This adult party edition of the Monopoly game has players moving around the board contributing to community projects…unless they can steal projects to get ahead
  • WINNING IS FOR CAPITALISTS: Contribute to the Community Fund…unless you choose deplete it. Consider the best interest of the group…unless you want to forget that and just do what you need to do
  • CHANCE CARDS: Working together might seem ideal, but Chance Cards can abruptly shake things up with things such as lousy neighbors, vegan meatloaf, and bad plumbing

Retailer Markets ‘Build the Wall’ Toy

November 14, 2018 at 11:09 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Conservative gift retailer Keep and Bear will soon begin shipping a ‘Build the Wall‘ toy which resembles a LEGO product and extols the virtues of President Trump’s proposed border wall along the United States’ southern border with Mexico,” USA Today reports.

From the product’s description: “A mob of 10,000 Central American migrants is marching through Mexico and heading toward El Paso, Texas. Mexican border agents attempted to stop them at the Mexican border, but to no avail.”

“The wall will keep America safe and strong. Only then will we be able to help those in need.”
