Don't Drop the Soap

The name of a new board game developed by the son of KS’s governor.

"Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole," the site says. "Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss' lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse's desk in the Infirmary."

The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using 'Wheelz," muscle-flexing "Anferny" and business suit-clad "Sal 'the Butcher.'"

Will this deter crime? Foster appreciation of what inmates actually have to deal with? Become the new “Trivial Pursuit”? You gunna start the neighborhood game night?

Actually, it seems sort of fitting for where we are as a nation right now.
