Brexit: The Real Deal
Brexit: The Real Deal has a box that promises a joke, but the joke runs out before you even open it. What remains is, without any sugar-coating, utter rubbish.

I did not go in expecting high political satire; I know the game is not asking to be taken seriously. But I did expect at least a little humour. The box manages to deliver the one joke in the whole affair, and then you are left staring at the contents as though disappointment had been delivered in cardboard.
As a game, I found nothing that justifies its existence beyond the initial pun. The idea never turns into fun, not even into the sort of cheerfully stupid experience that might have rescued it.
And that is the real problem: once the humour has already ended on the box, the contents have nothing to replace it with. It is not merely a game you should not take seriously; it is a game that is not worth engaging with at all. Stay away.
