Politics is an interesting game that people get to play if they went to a private school, but the rest of us don t usually get a chance. It s unique in that, unlike other games, we can t tell how well players are doing based on the points they score, but instead based on how society looks. Similar to sports like football, millions of us follow games of politics live, through televised matches such as General Elections. Unlike other games, it s harder to get a group of people together to play ourselves (unless you have a lot of money, or a media empire). Some countries play a version of politics where no-one new can join in, and the current players keep winning over and over again. Some countries even have a single-player version of the game. With Spin Machine, now everyone can join in. What is Spin Machine? Spin Machine is here to give you your chance in politics. Spin Machine is a serious-or-satirical political card game for 3+ players.
