The card game Political Mess (การเมืองจิ๋วๆ) was released in 2020 by Wise Box. It’s one of several recent games that satirise Thai politics. Similar card games with political themes include 1-2-3-4-5 I Love Coup, Thai Democracy Timeline Game, and Bangkok’s Big Brother (เราจะทำตามสัญญา).
Political Mess features four characters, illustrated as pixelated figures that evoke 8-bit video game graphics. The characters are based on political groups: a man in army fatigues carrying a rifle (representing coup leader Prayut Chan-o-cha), a man wearing orange (the colour of the Future Forward party, which relaunched as Move Forward), a man with a whistle (a reference to Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee), and a man in a red shirt using a loudhailer (as the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship protesters are known as red-shirts).
