nick from grand text auto has brought our attention to a new political game from casa de cambio - "cambiemos".

Cambiemos is a short, positive game that is both fun and seems to be good at expressing political principles: rebuilding is important, rebuilding takes work and cooperation, you have to be perceptive as you work... even "you can fix your mistakes if you have time" I think. It's not a Boalian system for working out people's political approaches through play - and unless Boal runs for office again, I don't think any political campaign would pay for Gonzalo to whip up one of those - but it is something else that's pretty interesting. I have to admit that like it better than the Dean game, which was more of a campaign volunteer's manual than an interestingly-presented political statement. "Cambiemos" is easy to play, not being fast-paced at all. It also has good gameplay, and is aesthetically pleasing, making good use of black-and-white and color images.
