Hey everyone, I'm currently working at an independent studio and am trying to figure out some names for a politically driven game. I figured it would be great opportunity to gather feedback from other users of this forum to help identify a name for a game that has a potential future.

Please help and click the link below to survey some questions. You never know, it may be the name of a future release you might enjoy! Thank you for your time.

I went with "Empire & Republic". Who else wants to join in?

commit genocide and raise your poll ratings

Or "Villains & Running Mates".

Man, we ARE a jaded and cynical bunch around here, aren't we?

Parker Brothers has one called "Risk". I learned a lot about stabbing people in the back playing that game.

and the tokens you run around the board...

your choice

bobble head cheney

bobble head obama

mystery victim #21340

bobble head Bush

bobble head Clinton

Well you get the idea...

and the drinking game version is you have to do the game in character...

How about "State of the Empire"?

If you're going to name a game "Arch", here's what it has to revolve around:

->You know the St. Louis Arch? (of course I know it.) And you know that painting of the Arch as a portal to some alien world? (Chayan Khoni - Lost Worlds) Well, spread a few more Arch portals around the universe and let the madness ensue.<-

Hell, on that premise alone you could do several genres.

Man, if had the resources....
