A commercial version of the standard deck playing card game Mao. The game was Kickstartered in 2013, but never released.

The game ran into problems when their Chinese-outsourced printing company explained to them shortly before the end of the Kickstarter that it was "prohibited from printing any images or likeness of Chairman Mao". The designers gave a print-and-play version to backers and went silent, and the game does not appear to have been published beyond that.
