A new game you can play with your family on Thanksgiving...

[hokie07 11]

New from Milton Bradley! Obamopoly!

 

This will play just like Monopoly, except:

 

1. The "banker" role will be renamed "Uncle Obamanation"

2. No monopolies are allowed in the game.

3. The four sides of the board will be renamed "Poor", "Middle Class", "Upper Middle Class", and "Filthy Rich" in order from GO!

4. Houses and Hotels will be replaced with Goverment Housing Units (GHUs).

5. Uncle Obamanation determines when and where GHUs get placed on the board.

6. If a GHU is placed on a player's property, the player pays Uncle Obamanation a progressive amount for the privilege based on the value of the property. Properties on the "Filthy Rich" side of the board will charged double the GHUs normal cost.

7. Rent charged on properties will be the same no matter what side of the board they are on. This keeps the game fair no matter where the "die roll of life" takes a player.

8. Once a GHU is installed on a property, it's value for resale is cut in half. However Uncle Obamanation will still view the property at its face value for assessments.

9. If you don't own any properties, all actions resulting in "Go to Jail" do not apply.

10. If you own any property other than on the "Poor" side of the board, the "Get Out of Jail Free" card does not apply to you.

11. If you own any property on the "Filthy Rich" side of the board, your jail time and fine are doubled, and only a roll of double-six will free you early.

12. GHUs may not be sold back to Uncle Obamanation. A property may be mortgaged for half the current GHU adjusted value (1/2 face value).

13. While mortgaged all rent is payable to Uncle Obamanation.

14. Mortgages on properties on the "Poor" side of the board are forgiven after three turns, unless the player owns properties on any other side of the board.

15. If a player owns no properties on the board, then any rent due will be paid by Uncle Obamanation.

16. "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards will be combined into a single "ObamaCare" stack.

17. Utility spaces do not generate income and will always be owned by Uncle Obamanation.

18. Railroads may be owned by a player jointly with Uncle Obamanation. The player pays the full price for the railroad and Uncle Obamanation pays nothing, but has a 50% ownership.

19. A player who lands on the railroad on the "Poor" side of the board is allowed to automatically be bussed to any other train stop on the board. Their choice. If the player owns no properties, this ride is free. Otherwise, normal fees apply, double if you own property on the "Filthy Rich" side of the board.

20. TAXES: The Luxury Tax only applies if you own property on the "Filthy Rich" side of the board. Income Tax is only payable if you own any property. All taxes are paid to Uncle Obamanation with half the amount paid being split evenly among players who own no property.

21. FREE PARKING: Free Parking is free to all players except those who own property on the "Filthy Rich" side of the board. They pay $100 for landing on that space.

22. All players who own any property must roll a single die when landing on FREE PARKING. If the die roll is two or greater, then that person is guilty of a hate crime against the parking attendant and is sent directly to Jail. Normal jail rules apply and an additional $500 is assessed for civil rights violations.

23. At the end of each round (i.e. each player has taken one turn), the cash of all property owners is totalled and divided equally among all players and Uncle Obamanation.

Or you could play "BushOpoly" where everybody just loses their job and goes bankrupt and nobody can afford to buy any property on the board and there are no winners...nobody gets any money to start with...because the banks are too afraid to loan any money....everybody is a loser...except for the big oil company who makes a record profit somehow while everybody else is losing money out the arse....

I think that would be called something like "Christopher Dodd/Barney Frank"opoly. Those two Democrates were the ones so hell bent against Fanny & Freddie being regulated and thus stopping the risky credit loans from being approved so much.
