In this turn-based card game,\u00a0the 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 prot\u00e9g\u00e9 from the ranks of students on one college campus. But you\u2019ve encountered two challenges you didn\u2019t expect: First, the forces of neoliberalism have been hard at work dismantling the education system.
