I have had a copy of the obscure and insane #MadMagazine #BoardGame for ages but hadn't used it until @gilahava704 and I finally played a round last night. It's such a trip, and I could see it being even more fun with more people.

The game is basically a Monopoly spoof, but the object of the game is to lose first.

One of a series of illustrations by Jack Davis, called "The Mad Primer of Bigots, Extremists and Other Loose Ends" for #MadMagazine in Sept 1969 (issue # 129). They were accompanied by this text, written by Frank Jacobs:

See the Super Patriot.
Hear how he hates "Liberals"...
And "Moderates" ... and "Intellectuals"...
And "Activists" ... and "Pacifists"
And "Minority Groups" ... and "Aliens"...
And "Unions" ... and "Teenagers"...
And the "Very Rich" ... and the "Very Poor"...
And "People with Foreign-Sounding Names"...
Now you know what a Super Patriot is.
He's someone who loves his country
While hating 93% of the people who live in it.
