Tax the Rich

Players bid to set the trump color and the target number of tricks, then try to win tricks with the help of an ally. Cards represent characters of different social ranks; ordinarily higher ranks outrank lower ones in trick play. If a player holds only cards bearing a flag symbol, they may reveal them to trigger a “revolution,” flipping the hierarchy so that low-ranked cards become strongest and continuing the round with their hand exposed. Thirteen optional rule cards grant special abilities to particular character types, and scenarios/variants (including a feminist-revolution variant) change how those abilities and scoring interact.

Ok, this is "rich" a board game designer who is RICH makes a game about taxing the rich to make himself more money (rich). What a lame theme and terrible timing for such a game. So Mr. Ostby wants to make a game about a social revolution against capitalism by exploiting the capitalist system to become rich. I'm guessing Mr. Ostby is himself already rich and so this game is so hypocritical. Mr. Ostby is one of the elite and highly educated people living a lavish life. He has a PHD, is an MD and board game designer. Please tell me people see through this absolute sham and pandering he is doing through this game. What a shame he decided to get political. Don't forget he also did Santa Maria which people were up in arms about the Spanish Conquistadores colonizing native lands. Just make board games don't be so divisive. Games should unite not divide people.
