A board game where you fight the police.
It's 1910 and women can't vote, but they're organizing. The British Women's Social and Political Union is disrupting Parliament, doing hunger strikes, and created a 30 woman bodyguard trained in jiu-jitsu to protect themselves. The police will do anything to stop them and preserve the existing social order. There's a riot in the street, and you must develop a strategy to occupy your opponent's territory. Be careful! You must also protect your home base, or you may land yourself in jail or the hospital! 2 players, 30 minutes.

Suffragetto is a feminist, political board game dating to the early 1900s. It was created by the Women’s Social and Political Union.
In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst (1858–1928), with daughters Christabel and Sylvia, formed the WSPU because they were frustrated with the slow-moving pacifist methods of the mainstream movement. For over fifty years, UK women had campaigned for the right to vote, with little progress. Wanting to “wake up the nation” with “deeds not words,” the WSPU embarked on a coordinated plan of civic disruption.
