THE
80'S GENERATION MONOPOLY GAME
The
80's a game
for your generation. The decades... everybody's got a favorite. One that
shaped a big part of who they are. One that made them say "Like
totally tubular!" Was yours the 80's? If so, moonwalk down memory
land. This is the game for you! We researched the 80's and found what
was fun-what was powerful-what was poignant. The 80's may best be
described as the "greed decade". We chose style and image over
substance. Cable brought us a gazillion channels... and there was still
nothing on TV! We worried about things like who shot JR. We trampled
each other for Cabbage Patch dolls. We merged and acquired, made a lot
of money, shopped 'til we dropped. Then we cranked up "Material
Girl" in our Beemers and drive on toward the 90's. Someone said
"The point is, you can't be too greedy" ...but we were. In
spite of our shortcomings, we stretched our hands across America for the
poor and the homeless. We rocked for causes. We watched the fall of the
Berlin Wall and cheered the end of the Cold War. Perhaps the extremes
renewed our sense of altruism. As the 90's approached, the call for
"a kinder, gentler nation" found an audience already waiting.
Here's a quick idea of how to play this game. Buy property. Collect
Blocks of Time and trade them in for a Decade. It sounds easy enough-but
you may trip over your aerobic bench or have to make an appearance on
Tabloid TV. When you break something Break Dancing it becomes a little
more difficult and a lot more fun! So grab your token and advance to
SHOP. Who knows? You may become a Yuppie... or your hair may be so big
you lose 3 turns! Are you looking for a fun way to experience the 80's?
DUDE! Like here it is! For Sure! Traditional play or one hour version. 2
to 6 players, ages 8 and up. (Includes an EIGHTIES FUN FACTS BOOKLET
with a description of each space.)
