Oneupmanship Information

WARNING: This may be the most "hated" board game ever made. We think ONEUPMANSHIP is a beautifully-designed Darwinian litmus test that's not only wicked, cutthroat fun – it's also a cheeky and irreverent lifestyle accessory/wry political statement. The operative word in that last sentence is "Darwinian." Not everyone likes natural selection, for obvious reasons, and since ONEUPMANSHIP is all about brains, brass and wit (and using your wits) – many, many haters think it's one of the worst games ever. One particularly captious critic couldn't even imagine "how any human being alive would want to play it." We're not making this stuff up. So let's save both of us some time and money: Are you a geektard still living in your mother's basement? Stay away. Love to wear socks with your ethically-sourced bamboo sandals? Stay way away. There are others who probably won't take a shine to it either, like do-gooders, socialists, and the morally suspect, but we don't want to stereotype, or impugn anyone's character. Poets, whiners, the faint-of-heart? Pass. Cheapskates and intellectual cripples – ditto. Everything is Bush's fault? Exactly.
