EXIT STRATEGY Board Game - Expat in Kaliningrad, Russia

EXIT STRATEGY ~ a new bored game

Published: 14 May 2020

Out in autumn 2020, or possibly sooner, such as the end of the world, is EXIT STRATEGY.

Not getting out enough? Then you need EXIT STRATEGY, one in a trilogy of games* by John Wankerson.

EXIT STRATEGY, a game of bluff, double-bluff, red-herrings and meat from a dubious source, has been described by The Onguardianism as ‘The Paradox of the century!’ It is a game of skill and confusion in which players pit themselves against liberal journalists who cannot seem to quite make up their mind if the social distancing rules are the start of a police state, an excuse for the police to overstretch themselves or a plot to become a mardy fascist whilst sitting at home in the armchair. The Indefensable confesses that EXIT STRATEGY is ‘the most consummate piece of obscurantism’ it has ever encountered since it redefined the word ‘independent’.

The rules are that there aren’t any. The object of the game is for somebody to find out what the object really is whilst flying around the games table in ever decreasing circles until you disappear up your own mask.

The winner is the first player to EXIT without wearing a pair of panties on two suspension loops over his ears* (patent applied for).

Whether you are a lard-arse who has overdone the comfort eating whilst self-isolating and are now wondering how you are going to get through the front door, a prime minister who secretly wishes he had been voted into office at any other time than this, a Scottish fish with a hatchet face who is ‘testing, tracing, isolating and supporting’ for no other reason than that it sounds good and because no one is in the least bit interested in a referendum anymore, a social distancing marshall ensuring everyone keeps at least 2 metres away from each other in an office 1 metre wide ~ and on the 12^th floor ~ EXIT STRATEGY is the game for somebody else!

Remember, if you don’t EXIT you won’t go out!
