Tridecaphobiacs retreat! It’s time for another Friday the 13th, which means that our diabolical desk-jockeys at Darker Brothers are revealing their newest game! The Axis of Stevil proudly presents Flintheart Glomgold’s Battleship, the action-adventure game featuring an air-borne attack of absolute affluence and avarice.
Only the most moneyed of minors can take part in Flintheart Glomgold’s Battleship. In each Flintheart Glomgold’s Battleship box, you’ll find 1:8 scale replicas of an aircraft carrier, battleship, submarine, destroyer, and patrol boat, all manufactured at the finest United States military bases using tax money given by the meager middle-class. The objective of the game is to maneuver your fleet of remote-controlled mini-F35s, each equipped with three 50-gallon tanks filled with gasoline, crude oil, and Sacagawea dollars, and crash them into your opposition’s battalion.
