How does it work? The Game Master rolls the die and move our game token to a new location. If we do not yet own that property, we may purchase it by partaking in an alcoholic beverage of our
choosing at a drinking establishment related to that property and have/report on an adventure there. Once a property is acquired, the Game Master rolls the die and moves our token on to the next location acquiring properties until all are acquired thereby signifying that we have won the game. If we land on a property we already own, we simply move on. If we land on a property requiring us to complete some task (Community Chest, Luxury Tax, etc), we must complete the task (pay the fine, accept the reward, etc) and move on. If we land in jail, we must pay the fine to escape.
Who is "we"?
As this is a "communal challenge" completing a challenge by yourself would defeat the purpose. Thus, at least two members of the group deemed to be players must be in attendance and imbibe beverages (only one person need to have the adventure).
Will this be localized to Houston?
No. Locations could be anywhere so players, we need your help. It may be tougher for those in areas that are not close to others but that should just encourage you to travel more.
What does "a drinking establishment related to that property" mean?
Get creative. Lets say we land on "Marvin Gardens". Perhaps theres a bar named "Marvin Gardens Pub." Maybe you can grab a drink at "Marvin Gardens Amusement Park." Hopefully theres a strip club with a two drink minimum on "Marvin Gardens St." It probably will involve meeting some people as we might have to drink at the house of some guy named "Marvin Gardens" or party in the gardens of Marvin. Note: tolerance for completeness may be lax (a bar named Tennessee St could substitute for Tennessee Ave) but some submissions may be rejected to maintain a consistent level of difficulty.
What constitutes an adventure?
Do whatever you want; just make us laugh, cry, or give you a cell phone high five. While dressed in skinny jeans and a fuzzy blue t-shirt talk to a chick who claims to be a carnie so that Chapman can buy a fuzzy nipple shot for her friend. While holding a beer in one hand and Kaitlin's ass in the other, snap a photo with a lion so that you can later use it as a wedding invite. Make friends on the dance floor at a gay bar after buying the rest of your male friends lots of cheap, old guinness. Go home with someone from a bar. All of these and more, could work. Just make something exciting happen at or on the way to/from the property location.
How do I report my adventure?
Submit the story to me (or at least me, preferably all players) in written form (email, text, tweet, Facebook message, spray paint tagging, etc).
Who will be the final say on whether or not a property is acquired?
The Game Master
When does it start?
Its already in progress.
When does it end?
Christmas Party 2011.
How will we communicate?
Group emails, cell phone, Facebook messages, travel.
Can I bring a date?
Since this game is to encourage intermingling, two players deemed "in a relationship" count as only one for the purpose of this challenge. Each may contribute separately but when together, one partner forfeits player status for the evening. As such, a date between players at a property location must include a "third wheel" to complete the challenge. However, bringing hot non-player single ladies to these challenges and/or picking up hot easy chicks at these locations is encouraged. Hooking up with said lady friends is a near-guarantee that adventure points will be awarded.
Who is the keeper of the board?
Yours truly, the brilliant mastermind of it all.
Is there some benefit for acquiring a property with The Game Master?
Always. But to sweeten the pot a little more, property adventures that include the creator of this game will award the group an extra $50.
Will we be playing with any other variations on the standard global Monopoly communal pub crawl rules?Yes, we will adopt the Belanger variation of rulesets that states that after attempting to acquire the property in the normal fashion, we must also pay the standard monopoly fee for the property if the worst character ever is in attendance at the property acquisition event.
What if we are stuck on a single property for a long time?We may temporarily pass on a particular property by paying the rent. However, to complete the game, we must come back and acquire this property eventually.
What purpose do monies serve?Paying rent, paying Community Chest debts, etc.
How do we acquire monies?Community Chest awards, passing go, and completing a challenge with your glorious gamemaster.
What if we run out of money?Properties may be sold back to the bank at face value. However, before the completion of the game they must be re-acquired using a location different from the previous purchasing location. Mortgaging of properties is not allowed.
