Vision Vancouver unveils ‘SamCity’ board game just in time for the holidays

By Travis Lupick

It’s a sure sign that they have too much free time on their hands, but at least it’s an entertaining one.

Vision Vancouver has released SamCity, a fictitious board game in which players "Keep their opponents down by the throat".

One picture of the game depicts a giant Mayor Sam Sullivan wearing a crown and towering over a city overcome by garbage. A "sense of hopelessness" is included, another picture states.


Fun for the whole family.

Georgia Straight reporter Carlito Pablo obtained a copy of Vision's SamCity release at a press conference on Sunday (December 17).

SamCity? Could they not have come up with another name then to try and make sales based on it sounding similar to SimCity? I don't know if i'd buy a game that has a similar name to a famous one knowing it's probably just a cheap version of the game or something trying to be t he next big game around. Like all the MMORPG's that have come out since WoW, no one is ever going to have millions of users like WoW so why try? I play wow for hours on end and when I get tired of that I go and play some backgammon to relax a bit before going back.

It was a joke.
