History

The term, Gang of Four, was first used to describe four powerful radicals in Communist China that rose to power during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and dominated Chinese politics during the early 1970s. Led by Jiang Qing, a former actress and the power-hungry wife of Chairman Mao, the Gang of Four dominated political, economic and cultural life in China for years. One month after Mao’s death, they were arrested and jailed, thus ending China’s slide into radicalism.

The Gang of Four card game was first conceived during the upheaval of the Cultural Revolution
