Invention Exchange #1
Uhh hey, who's living in the Hotel Pennsylvania these days? I was thinkin' of moving there. Never lived in a hotel before. Well, except that one time.
Anyways I'm tryin' to get back into the swing of inventing things. My invention today is based off of Parker Brothers' tendencies to take the Monopoly board game and make a dozen even more boring variations on it. So what I have here today is our own little post-apocalyptic version of Monopoly, which I've called:
Manhattanopoly.
As you can see here, I've replaced all the places names with names relevant to Manhattan nowadays. Instead of things like Park Place and the Boardwalk, you get Lady Liberty's Head and Pile of Rubble #23. Collect all four supply centers and you'll get a special card declaring you're a food hog. For playing pieces, we now have a giant-bug crab, a broken car, and others. Of course we kept the shoe because everyone wants to be the shoe. And of course since no one's using any money anymore all the cash is useless, so mostly you just stick hotels on wherever you want and try to get the other players to go directly to Central Park 'cause then they lose a turn.
It's fun for the whole family from ages six to sixty if your family really has nothing better to do on a Friday night.
Whaddaya think, sirs?
