khalling came up with a good idea that I think is worth expanding on. Let's see what great ideas we can come up with for a board game that follows Atlas Shrugged's theme and principals. (Is Shrugged's a word?? It's pretty hard to pronounce.)
So please contribute your ideas, for questions/tasks/etc that a player would have to answer or accomplish correctly to move forward in the game. C'mon, it'll be fun! We ARE allowed to have fun in the Gulch!

    My kindle is gone. I am hoping someone is reading Atlas Shrugged and Capitalism, The Unknown Idea on it....

    I'd be surprised if anybody else would do it in the current climate of....the sorry times in which we live. It's a game for thinkers....we might sell 38 copies. And including a few very border line specimens in that number. Maybe we should make a gun game. "Keep Your Weapons!"

    we're doing the crowd sourcing thing here. If you are serious, you should probably stop talking about it here. If you just want the game to exist-well,
    but no one else will do it right :)

    What key chapters of the book offer us insight into how we play the game? it might be interesting if industries were interconnected in some way, so that if someone was invited into the gulch it leaves other players in a more precarious disadvantage. it would also be interesting if once galted, they choose to leave assets behind to be bought or they destroyed the. maybe have incentives in the Gulch-once you're there, to decide things like that.
    I will say, I don't think I like the idea of trivial pursuit type cards quizzing me on who did this or that-but that's just me.
