📖 About This Game
This game was published for political reasons, to "make" a point. That it turns out to be somewhat enjoyable is purely coincidental.
In this game, a player may win by maneuvering all four of their "criminals" in such a way that they are all in Life Imprisonment, Death Row, or the Electric Chair. Or the player may use their two "liberals" to spring the opposing players’ criminals from the "Path of Justice" back to the Street often enough to turn all fifteen of each opponent’s Innocent Citizens into Victims of violent crimes. Victims go to Heaven.
