Description

In #OccupyBoardwalk, players take the role of the 1% trying to retain control of the board against increasing demonstrations against their rule. The goal is to be the player with the most money at the end of the game, assuming the 99% don’t successfully occupy too much of your precious property! If that happens, everyone loses.

1. OccupyBoardwalk is an Uncooperative Game for 3 or More Players. It just requires a copy of Monopoly and a book. (It can be any book, but we suggest Das Capital, Road to Serfdom or a pocket copy of the Constitution).

Each round, the public expects the 1% to pay another 1000 dollars of your fortunes towards the public good. To do this, the player with the Top Hat opens the book to a page an puts any amount of money into the book secretly. They then flip to another page and pass the book to the next player. When a player gets the book, they can’t flip backwards in the book to see what other players have payed. Once each player has had an opportunity to put money into the book, the first player turns the book over and shakes it over the board. Collect the money that falls out, count it and put it under public parking.

Remember two things: The player with the most money left at the end of the game wins. Also, the public expects the 1% to pay another $1000 every turn. So the expectations of the public about the amount of money in public parking increases every turn. There are a few other twists and turns involving the removal of protestors from properties, and the use of Chance and Community Chest cards to get bailed out when things get rough.
