Con Von Hoffman, who runs the fine Collateral Damage blog and used to write for Brandweek, was kind enough to bring "Crunch, The Game for Utter Bankers" to my attention. The game satirizes the current economic crisis, with players portraying greedy global banking CEOs. The game's manufacturer is British, so "bankers" would be a play on words, substituting for the derogatory slang term "wankers." The stateside equivalent would be the less obtuse but rather more descriptive "yankers."
