Here's (sort of) what he have so far:
Object of the game: To fend off, or work around, ever increasing government regulations, while sticking to your principles and protecting your own self interest to earn a trip to the Gulch (name will be changed to protect the knowledgeable).
There will be Producers (earners), Moochers (free loaders), and Strikers (Producers already in the Gulch).
Currency will be gold and silver tokens/pieces (Maybe gold only in the gulch and silver outside..?)
Listed below, in the comment fields, will be categories/ideas that need to be worked on. Please reply to the appropriate comment for ideas/input.

    Okay...I guess the rest of the planning will have to be done behind closed doors...for those of who are still interested in this plan/discussion. kh's property rights expertise is bulging. :) All those in favor say "AYE".

    LS has put in some time on organizing this. Are we just having fun in here? Are any of you interested in making this game a reality?

    yes, we understand that part. questions remain. how to get into the gulch. how to be taxed to make being a moocher interesting. and I still LOVE the idea of strikers, working from within the gulch-either to increase their own happiness separate from the rest of the game, or somewho impacting those outside the gulch. Your ideas don't incorporate those

    I admire your skill at asking for the "order". but we're just brainstorming here. by all means, take your ideas and run with them. I will say some of your ideas have already been put forth in these two posts. Just so you understand, everything talked about so far is in the public domain.

    Then it has to be determined by dice rolling (the value). Maybe there should be some square that serve a dual purpose. (one purpose aimed at moochers and one for producers)...

    If you follow my game objectives, you can have the Maker/Producer hit milestones during his route to the ultimate goal, each one providing him money along the way. Card could read, "An investor loves your idea, add $100K to your funds"

    I'm not sure yet. but I know that how they're structured should include a risk/reward value. some will choose more risks than others and they stand to lose more.

    Okay...we need a way for producers to earn. ..... Are the cards going to say, "you're so smart, you just earned 15 gold coins"? lol I was trying to add a mini mental test mixed with chance (the dice) for greater/lesser odds and value. How can we have them earn? Investing? ...that's to close to Monopoly.
