Screen shot of game

This is a strange game, with instructions that are hard to read, but the flock-behaviour is quite nice. It is an attempt by the designer to subvert the mechanism behind war-gaming.

A reviewer has written: 'You play a space revolutionary and you have to organize your fellow proletariates. An especially intriguing aspect is the way your comrades move automatically like a flock of birds. As your group of comrades grow, the group starts to take care of itself and you can sit back and watch. Read his fun description of the space game as a reflection on America’s capitalistic and war-mongering society. The game is fun too'
