 The year is 2016, and Donald Trump was just elected president of
the United States of America. There are happy Republicans and
extremely sad Democrats. Everyone remembers Trump stating that
he wanted to help the immigrants as well as loving all women just as
much as he loved his life. But things begin to make a drastic turn
when Trump mentions the building of ”The Wall” as well as starting
Introduction his deportation mission. He never addressed women as equals again
along with discriminating against the LGBTQ community and he
also mimicked the actions of a disabled person. And to top
everything off, he condoned police brutality.

In this game, you will get an insight to the truth behind America and
how things should really be perceived.

 My inspiration for this game was Monopoly. I wanted to
incorporate social inequality into a board game. The harsh
reality of it all is to show that life isn’t fair when it comes to
Inspiration everyday aspects. There is police brutality. There is racism.
There is discrimination. There is plenty of lying from out
government. It all starts somewhere and it’s a never-ending
cycle.
