[fbc] Rocky Monopoly, alpha version

[jrising]

I've been working on a new game for parties: a Rocky Horror version of Monopoly.

I consider this something of a gift to the community for all the good times I've had so far. We may only play it once, but I hope you'll all enjoy it, for it's novelty if not more.

If you have time, take a look at the game so far, and give me your ideas. I particularly need more fun sexual favors (used as money), and more chance and theatre basement cards. You can get a sense of what I'm looking for from the ones I have up.

I'm open to ideas on all levels. It's well known that my sense of what's appropriate at parties is a bit skewed, but I've tried to make it accessible to everyone. I've put a fair amount of thought into the game (I like to be thorough when I'm being silly), but I'm always ready to embrace an new idea I hadn't thought of.

The full version (beta, anyway) will be ready to play this Saturday at my party, if the party is in the mood for a game.

Yikes - Not safe for work!

From what I saw before I hurriedly closed the window, cards 9 and higher might be a bit much.

Also, I didn't look long enough to see if this is the case, I suggest that none of the color-coded properties should be yellow. That way if someone says "YELLOW" it's not ambiguous.

Wait-- is text not work-safe? You work for a pretty strict company.

From what I saw before I hurriedly closed the window, cards 9 and higher might be a bit much.

That's about what I expect, and I think the game will play fine mostly without those, but I have to include them.

I like the "yellow" suggestion. My version now has it changed to brown.

Well, a coworker over my shoulder might read stuff.

Like any game, it will be as fucked up as people want it to be.

This is so incredibly fucked-up wonderful! I can't wait to play.

(Of course I'm brain fried, and can't think of any other cards right now. But if I think of any later I will send them along.)

Can you send me your instabowl spreadsheet? I mostly know what the dares are, but I'm sure there are dozens I'm forgetting that would be good for ideas.

My first thought is that I hope people aren't too drunk to play! My second thought is that people get too drunk to count, and it evolves into an orgy because nobody knows how much they owe each other anymore.

Sorry, no ideas right now... just home from work, and I'm off to bed with no time in between!

My second thought is that people get too drunk to count, and it evolves into an orgy because nobody knows how much they owe each other anymore.

And that's bad how? If I could make a game that naturally devolved into an orgy, my work would be done.

Did I say it was bad? Haha
