Kurt Vonnegut's lost board game published
www.polygon.com What if Kurt Vonnegut’s lost board game had actually been published in the 1950s?
GHQ is available now, nearly 70 years after the author created it

That sounds really cool.
I'm glad the article discusses the irony of a pacifist writer producing a well thought out war game. It sounds like a duality of modern culture: we know war is terrible and destructive, but we also fetishize it.
Not sure that's irony. While he was a pacifist, he also served in the armed forces in WWII and survived the firebombing of Dresden as a pow. Kurt wrote about what he knew.
