Here's a fun one. Made this up a few years ago with roommate and erstwhile girlfriend down in the 'wack.

First, get yourself a transit map.

We used NYC but anything with multiple lines works--even bus maps.

Then get yourself some pieces. Sure, you can use monopoly pieces, but bottle caps, utensils, toe nail clippings--they all work better. And anything that can get stuck in a todler's mouth works best of all.

Then steal a die from your child's candyland game.

Now comes the important, and fun part.

Get some notecards. Tear them in half if you don't have enough. Write on them instructions.

Start play.

Role die. Move stops. draw card.

Easy as that.

The first to make it to a determinite place (we chose Briant Park) wins.

Making the cards really is the fun part. Who could forget Hipster card 3, the dread Bill Murry card, get outta Brooklyn free, or my personal favorite--Serin Gas Attack! (role 1d6 on a 6 you die).

1d6? Ok, you non gamers. My sixteenth level quarter-goblin will school you: the "normal" die--the one that has six sides, as opposed to the 4 (pyramid) 8 (two pyramids) 12 10, 20 or 100 (yes they make a 100).

Now, off you go to game!

And just for fun, let's release this under the bsd license:

Should you like this game, let me know. Invented all sorts of games while manic. And most of them "get things done." As mom always said, turn it into a game.
