This parody version of the 1500 year-old board game familiar to young and old in many countries and cultures around the world highlights the complexity and political absurdity that has unfolded in the Middle East over the 20th century.  The board starts with helpful captions, but as you advance in the game, the captions are very brief or disappear, and you have to know the actual history to advance to the next square. GOOD LUCK!
