[lbo-talk] Avalon Hill's "Class Struggle" boardgame

[Thomas Seay]

Actually the game was developed by Bertell Ollman (Avalon Hill later bought his company, I believe).  Yes, I still have it stashed away somewhere and have rarely played it since my college days.  I am sure that the Situationist one is but a simulacra of Class Struggle :)

To tell the honest truth, I never found "Class Struggle" to be as fun as Monopoly.  I am not sure if that says something bad about me or about Bertell Ollman.
