Endspiel: Eine deutsche Apokalypse

Designed and promoted in 1979 or shortly after by "Glatteis", a German satirical magazine (motto: "The absurd is the reality"), this is a simple roll-and-move game which is a "satirical, partly realistic mirror of our real life" (from the introductory text). Players start in a randomly determined town and race to complete a circuit through the other five towns on the very abstract map of Germany. Players can choose between a "career path" and an "alternative path" for their trip. Special fields may force a change of path, and players may influence the game by placing bridges and barricades. One of the crude attempt at humorous games that were typical of the time, but this one is extremely simplistic and offers next to no gaming fun.
