RNC Chairman Michael Steele
Today Hasbro unveiled it’s latest children’s board game, Steele Trap. It’s a fun and frolicking political romp that is sure to entertain children ages 8-13 as they learn about the crazy world of United States politics.
Steele Trap has the players compete to see who can fill up their bus with voters first and deliver it to the polling station intact. Along the way children navigate obstacles like the SEIU Roadblock, Pelosi Plastic Surgery Clinic, and the Lindsey Graham border crossing. Each turn the player spins a wheel and can either end up moving forward 2-4 spaces, drawing a “principle” card, drawing a “pander” card, or having to endure the dreaded “Steele Trap”!
Children playing the new game.
Every time a player moves their bus through the neighborhood they can pick up a voter if the space they land on is a street corner, vocational school, rehab center, or methadone clinic. If they spin and have to draw a “principal” card, something bad might happen, like having to stop to help an old lady and getting the tires on their bus slashed (move back three spaces)! If they spin and draw a “pander” card, they could end up with a handy item like a pack of cigarettes or a $20 bill to help pick up extra voters.
Worst of all is spinning and having the arrow land on the “Steele Trap”. When that happens you press the button on the included mini-bust of Michael Steele and he busts out a wacky phrase:
“You’re a Republican, all black voters off the bus!”
“No one votes for smaller government, lose two voters!”
“Lobbyists just took away your handouts, move back two spaces!”
“No one has a reason to vote for you, lose all voters!”
Michael Steele just told this child she's white.
Estimated playing time is 1-2 hours and children should require no more than one session of therapy for each three times they play the game.
Steele Trap is available now at all major retail locations for $30, $20 if you can prove minority ancestry. Knifework.net is currently awaiting a copy so we can post the reviews of actual children after cultural programming playtesting.
Omg!! This should NOT be soooo funny to me!!!Well done!
