The Star recently highlighted a Malaysian-made card game that ought to resonate well enough across all segments of society, now: “Politiko”. Believe me I was actually driven to it, after reading a number of positive tweets and Facebook posts – hooray me for staying digitally social!
It seems that the game is getting quite a bit of buzz, ahead of actual polling day for the 13th General Elections, on May 5.
Granted, it’s got to be one of the more mature games I’m usually recommending, but hey, our national issues never really consistently got a “General” rating, if you get my drift!
In Politiko, you have Party, Voter and Scheme cards. You need to win enough Voters, via the various Scheme cards.
The game is produced by the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights, better known as Pusat Rakyat LoyarBurok. It’s still available at better bookstores everywhere, and a Cziplee tweet today actually stated that fewer than a couple of dozen units of the game are left.
So yeah, I don’t often say this: but let’s get Politiko shall we?
