Product Description
Product Description
Everyone starts with the best intentions. Then things start to get cramped. Then you notice your neighbour has more oil than you. Before long, war is waged, nukes are dropped, revolutions are fought and terrorists are doing your dirty work, before turning on you...
This is the War on Terror, the boardgame: A quality boardgame for 2 - 6 players, lovingly illustrated and politically correct (in a very literal sense). Playing it will bring out the nastiest, greediest, darkest, most paranoid aspects of your character. It's all great family fun.

This review is from: Terror Bull Games War On Terror The Board Game (Toy)
You'll need a fairly robust sense of humour and possibly a few drinks to get the most out of this.
The game itself is well made. I love the "have I got news for you" cartoons throughout. Only complaints are that the cards are fairly flimsy (which is an issue because the game requires a lot of shuffling) and the components are a bit "plasticky" - though for a first edition made on a shoe string it's not bad. Some of the rules do need a bit of tweaking. We've had to a add house rule for the 2 player game which stops players voluntarily turning terrorist (- It allows you to win more or less immediately.) That said, there is a fairly extensive FAQ on-line which appears to be updated quite often. All the gripes notwithstanding I loved it, touches such as the "axis of evil" spinner and "evil balaclava" are fantastic, and often have people in stitches before the game even starts. Highly recommended. Though recent developments on the world stage have taken the wind out of it's sails a little...

This review is from: Terror Bull Games War On Terror The Board Game (Toy)
I love different kind of games and board games and War on Terror is one of the most fun and interesting I've seen released in a long time.
The humour is definitely on the dry and maybe dark side, so perhaps not for everyone but if you appreciate some sarcasm and irony you may well love it. The game mechanics are fairly simple to digest, the negotiations, alliances and back-stabbing could come naturally to some or might need a little bit of training but most of my friends got into it pretty fast so we had a healthy atmosphere of paranoia and mistrust by the end of evening, only interrupted by occasional fits of laughter of whoever couldn't keep serious anymore ;) The quality of the game and pieces are top notch as well and packaged in an original way, each set of cards and markers in their own little plastic satchel so all the pieces don't go all over the place in the box. Really recommended.
