Revised Game Features Obozo the Marxist Clown
Contact: Bob Johnson, 410-757-4630
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 12 /Standard Newswire/ -- ObozosAmerica.com announced today that it has re-released for Internet sale the once-banned board game, 'Public Assistance: Why Bother Working for a Living?' The apt and timely-revised game, 'Obozo's America: Why Bother Working for a Living?,' features 50 Welfare Benefit Cards and 50 Working Person's Burden Cards originating from the mind of Obozo the Marxist Clown.
The object for the players of Obozo's America is to accumulate as much money as possible in 12 circuits around the board, each lap representing a month. Players start with a $1000 grant at the welfare office, then proceed along Obozo's Welfare Promenade, collecting more money by having out-of-wedlock children, playing the lottery and the horses, and making profitable side trips into the four 'Saturday Night' crimes: drug dealing, gambling, prostitution and armed robbery.
Players unfortunate enough to land on one of the four 'Get a Job' blocks have to move off Obozo's Welfare Promenade and onto the Working Person's Rut. There, they usually experience an unending series of bills, meager paychecks, discrimination, and welfare taxes. Instead of drawing Welfare Benefit cards, they draw from the stack of Working Person's Burdens.
Both the able-bodied loafers on Obozo's Welfare Promenade and those in the Working Person's Rut have opportunities to land a high-pay and no-work job for their other playing piece, representing their live-in or spouse, on the Government Cake Walk. To mimic Obozo the Marxist Clown's America, the game provides only one way a player's live-in or spouse can be removed from the lucrative Cake Walk: landing on the square that reads, 'You are conscience-stricken. Quit government job.'
The Jail Jaunt rounds out Obozo the Marxist's Clown's vision for America. Saturday Night criminals must move there if they get caught in one of their illegal acts. With one roll, 'Social worker rehabilitates you,' for example, they're right back at the welfare office ready to collect a fistful of dollars and resume their strut on Obozo's Welfare Promenade.
Obozo's America sells for $29.50. Sample Benefit and Burden cards, the game rules, and a full-size pdf of the board can be seen at ObozosAmerica.com The story of the banning of the original game may be read at American Thinker.
