  • Description
    This super-obscure game by Task Force Games is secretly based on the SF-novel 'The Iron Dream' by the Jewish author Norman Spinrad. This very controversial novel describes a parallel world in which Hitler wasn't successful with his 'Kampf' in Germany and became a successful SF-pulp-novelist in the US. The main part of the book is the actual text of Hitler's 'Iron Dream', a pulp-tale about 'Uebermenschen' conquering a future world filled with mutant 'scum'. The idea of Spinrad's novel was to expose fascist tendencies in 50's American literature (certainly true!). The TFG designers transported this 'theme' into a board game which plays like a wargame: future Nazis against future mutants. The names of all protagonists have been changed to avoid copyright infringement, but the game clearly takes it's slightly tongue-in-cheek approach directly from the book. One asks why this bittersweet parody has actually to be played as a game, but everybody can decide for his/herself I guess... - BoardGameGeek
