Dead Theorists: A Card Game for Disillusioned Philosophers and Aspiring Academics – Little Painter Art | Exploring the Endless Possibilities of Art| Shop All

   A satirical romp through academia’s best ideas.

In this turn-based card game, the ghosts of Simone De Beauvoir, W.E.B. Du Bois, Michel Foucault, and Karl Marx have returned from beyond the grave to complete a bit of unfinished business. Become the specter of one of these four great (but deceased) thinkers as you seek to recruit your last great protg from the ranks of students on one college campus. But youve encountered two challenges you didnt expect: First, the forces of neoliberalism have been hard at work dismantling the education system. It will be tough to train your final pupil from within todays profit-oriented university. Second, youve got competition! Other spirits have also awoken and theyre dead set on halting your progress and advancing their own ghostly agendas. Can you train your protg in order to complete your unfinished business  and be the first one to do it?
