...after the fed devalues it, ya mean? Look upward about 3 comments. :)

we like that idea.

Hey Shrug
What if you have paper money but its value decreases the longer the game goes on.

There has to be A winner....and moochers OR producers OR strikers can win.... I'm surprisingly stumped (or maybe not so surprisingly..CQ)... lol How does one win? Hmmm KH! Help!

I think we are on to something. Paper money on the outside along with heavy taxes on coal, steel, copper, and railroads. Susidies for failing industries. How does one win? Perhaps the game is over when the producers are in the gulch and the outside quickly collapses.

I was against any paper money...but outside the gulch, for the moochers it might be effective...after they accumulate a pile of it it will be deemed worthless due to inflation brought on by the Fed's practices, if they haven't bought gold or silver with it prior to said practices. Hmmmmm....

I like the inner circle being the gulch. Perhaps silver and gold coins only in the gulch. Paper money should be worthless.

So far so good. I'm only 30% in. Different, but fun, writing style.

I'm checkin that out. is it good?

A book I'm reading for my book club... It's sounds like you...one of the character's (actually 2) have the last name Rand, the author says "shrugged" a lot and she just mentioned Margaret Meade. LOL

huh? what's that?

Did you write Gone Girl?

Phrase of the year... think that's exactly the correct condition too !

I'm always cranky when I play board games. was this MY idea? I probably won't play it. we need some game theory people at this point to tell us how the odds work out. Here are my thoughts. 1.you can start as a civil servant or producer
2. incomes for both. producers income is higher than civil servants. the cards are such that civil servants get tax revenue and other fees from cards drawn. key: you want to be a civil servant when everyone else is a producer. the more servants, the less to split. there are cards in there that allow you to switch from civil servant to producer and vice versa. if you choose to be a striker, you give your accumulated wealth back to the bank. moving forward a striker can only draw 10% off the value of any producer card, but does not have to give anything to a civil servant. ultimate goal is to get to 1 million dollars.

Perhaps I should rephrase my "condition".. I'm chronically PISSED!

Depression is a medical term, just messing with you. Sorry, I know you are feeling the same as I am today....

What did I say? And why do I care who's "around"?

A normal emotion after what has transpired today, but beware of what you say, they are all around us.....

I'm depressed...overlook my crankiness...

I didn't like it if Professor Plum was the only one left, but I still played Clue

I thought it was funny. :)

I hate moochers so much I'm not sure I could even play one in a game... well maybe if I was playing with kids...to prove a point...but I'd hate it still. Ick. I think I would keep saying "ullllk! I hate me." after every mooch move.

They are very interesting, indeed. I like them.

Little Red Riding Hood? (Ok, now the B-52's are singing....)
