Deplorables; The Game
Haven Herrera (Artist) Los Angeles, CA: ShutEmDown LLC, 2018. Presumed First Edition, First issuance. Boxed Board game with pieces, cards, tokens, and Instructions. Box has some wear and soiling. The contents have been verified complete against the list provided in the instructions. Some game pieces have been opened others have not. To win, players will have to buy Democrat, Republican and Bipartisan political cards to accumulate 270 electoral votes. •Players start the game choosing either a Democrat or Republican candidate with a matching Endorsement Card and $1,200 to fund their campaign. •The first political twist comes in the player’s choice to purchase Obamacare or not, which affects game play down the road, because players that opt out can be penalized. Players must then roll dice, land on a space, and buy the matching political card worth 20 electoral votes. The bipartisan spaces, like the CIA or Women’s March space, are worth more electoral votes •The spinner allows players to move the voter token around the wheel in the center of the board for extra goodies. Players can get cash, points or are empowered to “Drain The Swamp,” stealing two political cards from an opponent. •Players can receive Kremlin Cash to help fund their campaign, but might be the subject of an FBI investigation later, losing $500 and two political cards. •The October Surprise Win: The final stage of the game is the October Surprise. This occurs when all the political spaces are owned, and there is nothing left to buy. Whenever a "Super Tuesday" is triggered on the board, the two players with the least number of electoral votes are forced to roll off against each. The player with the lowest roll is eliminated from in the game. This continues until one player has enough votes to win or is the last player standing. Whether you’re Democrat, Republican or somewhere in the middle, Deplorables The Game is a bipartisan election game we can all play together. To win, players will have to buy Democrat, Republican and Bipartisan political cards to accumulate 270 electoral votes. But beware, this game is fraught with dangers like Drain The Swamp and FBI Investigations!

Haven Herrera is a well-established artist in California who has done everything from fashion sketching/ design, to graffiti, logos, murals, portraits, caricatures, cartooning, sci-fi, conceptual, realism, surrealism, etc. The inspiration of this game was likely the widely reported comment by Hillary Clinton, who speaking at a fundraiser in New York City said “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said. Trump’s campaign criticized her comments. Condition: Very good.
