TerrorBull, masters of publicity and makers of the deliberately controversial The War on Terror board game, have a new game mocking the behavior of financial executives.

It’s called Crunch, and it’s a card game that follows the current financial debacle, complete with voting yourself executive bonuses, taking government handouts, and foolishly lending big sums for immense profit.

What it lacks of the original and controversial nature of their first game (mocking the financial systems and its executives? how daring) is made up for with what appears to be a somewhat more sound educational experience.
