I heard about it a year ago when I was looking for cyberpunk games.

I thought it's going to be a thread about buying buying western wargames when living in Potatoland.

Is it gonna collapse under it's own weight after an hour of playing?

Sounds like a fun fantasy game. I'll ~~buy~~ exploit it.

No true Marxist would sell a game or put it under a copyright and closed source license. That is 100% counterrevolutionary.

DEATH TO REVISIONISTS!

You play as a melonhead clan.

I'm expecting a lot of butthurt about the map being upside down, mine included if I ever play it.

Wasn't this a kickstarter? I think I remember seeing it and thinking it was a clever idea.

At first I thought someone at last manaded to remake Shadow President, but then a wave of disappointment washed over me.

Is there a 'Send underemployed youth to teach English and spread STDs' sidegame?

Whisky · Nov 8, 2013

It took awhile, but finally the responses I expected arrived.

Yes, it was: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/subalterngames/neocolonialism
I even backed it - haven't had the chance to give the game a spin yet, though.
