Cally Trench's board games
|
In Danger Money (2009), an original board game by Cally Trench, players control a small troop of soldiers that they can place on the board in positions of greater or lesser danger; however, they are rewarded financially disproportionately well for soldiers placed in greater danger. The game reflects a disregard for the value of individual life. |
