Frank Lantz: They are idiots. Re-skinning Monopoly is the most unimaginative way to make a game. There’s Simpsons Monopoly and Baseball Monopoly. It’s been done a million times. Well, at least they put their own political spin on it.
Politics in games is nothing new. Monopoly itself is based on a game that was a political work made by a radical leftist to show the injustices of land ownership. However, this game’s only value is its interesting, shocking and perverse cultural kitsch.

Eric Zimmerman: The fact that they made the game demonstrates their fantasy about having their ideas at play in the culture at large. They hope one might walk into a toy store and see their version of Monopoly on the shelf. It is not necessarily an earnest attempt to make a fun or playable game, or even have some kind of viable economic idea disseminated. Just the act of making the game helps them live out their fantasy. Do you think it’d be fun to play Pogromly?
Jesse Fuchs: It’s almost like the game is for people who find Monopoly too confusing. It’s hard to even tell what the utilities are – oh, they seem to be Jews working… The weirdest thing is that Monopoly is a game about bankrupting each other. Was this supposed to represent Nazi infighting? I doubt it was well thought-through. Even if I were a Martian game designer who had no instinctive revulsion to this game, I still doubt I would get anything from it.@WilbertLCooperIllustration by Hannah Kunkle
