Zottel-Game

An almost comically racist game by the Swiss People's Party (SVP). Has good production values and made some news, so probably one of the more successful political games. It features the party's mascot, Zottel, a very Swiss goat, facing off in four games against abuse of naturalization, illegal immigration, EU tax collectors, and federal government waste. The party had previously courted controversy with a poster that showed Zottel kicking out a black sheep, and the theme reappears here, where in one game you need to keep the black sheep off Switzerland's green pastures without harrassing the friendly white sheep. Oh, and watch out for the dastardly Green Party, trying to smuggle illegal immigrants in their party buses! The game seems to have disappeared from the internet, but there are pretty good writeups here and here. Let me know if you have or know of an archived copy.
