Then they can have a mixed gender edition, where white is Barbie and black is G.I.Joe.

But you would have little minigames where you actually have to tackle the oppositions pieces...

Oh no...

Why are women trying to take part in all our recreational activities? Isn't it bad enough they started playing football?
