A political parody of Monopoly has been in the news lately in which players don’t pass Go and don’t go directly to jail – they go to Guantanamo Bay. Patriot Act: The Home Version isn’t for sale, but is free to download with over 2000 copies having already been done so. Chance cards are now Homeland Security Cards with orders such as “FBI wants you for questioning lose one turn.” Created by Michael Kabbash, a graphics teacher at the College of New Jersey, it’s another in a series of clever political parody products he’s put out, including Conservative Crunch, Moral Charms, Neo-Con Krispies, and more.
