📖 About This Game
Tradurre
Victimology is at tongue-in-cheek, political card and dice game in the new tradition of games designed to encourage players to find humor in political incorrectness, such as Cards Against Humanity. The genre is filler-for-laughs, but the scoring mechanism ensures a competitive edge along with hand management and "take-that" elements.
In turn, each person rolls dice to determine their gender and ethnicity, collects or loses "victim points" based on scoring cards, have an opportunity to play penalty cards to change other players' ability to score points, and play cards to eliminate restrictions on themselves.
Gaming groups that are open-minded, will find humor in poking fun in absurd elements of the ‘Social Justice Warrior’ movement. Be warned, not everyone has the objectivity to laugh at poking fun at their own set of taboo subjects. However, Victimology, like all games that look for humor in taboo subjects, will offend some.
From the website:
"Tap into your inner Snowflake, start your virtue signaling and above all else, be offended! – Because he, she, or ‘ze’ with the most Victims Points at the end, wins!”
