This putative board game will start in Pak Kok (the Old Kent Road) and go round to the YSW ferry pier (Mayfair not). I've got the properties, utilities etc more or less worked out, but would like some suggestions about 'community chest' and the other one, whatever it's called. Was thinking along the lines of 'lost your ID card, spend several hours in the police report centre, do not pass go, do not collect $200.'
All ideas gratefully considered. |

That's a great idea--- is it going to actually be manufactured?
Barred from the Deli for throwing chairs. Spend a night in the seats of shame.
Found a nearly full pint . Collect $25. |

| No it's not for manufacture - I suspect it would fall foul of copyright. It' intended as a one-off for a friend who used to live here, if I can get enough material. |

Don't be too modest, it shouldn't just be given to one person, but shown on the home page of this website!
No problem with copyright for something like this online. Please let me know how I can assist to make this fine idea a reality and then I'll convert and publish it in the Lamma-zine! OK? _________________ Click here for new Lamma-zine stories and recent Photos of the Day and Artworks of the Day |

The operative word is trademark, not copyright.
Best to avoid the word "Monopoly®" entirely. It's not worth drawing attention from Parker Bros. They may well scour the web looking for such. People have got in trouble for online Scrabble, using the name. So use a Lammaism: "Lammopoly" or whatever.
Chance/Community Chest cards:
Village Representive election. Collect $500 lai see for your vote.
VV runs over your dog. Pay driver $100 compensation.
Sewers finally connected. Pay $200 per house and $500 per hotel. |

Excellent idea. It might be better as a feature on a site such as Lammazine anyway, but I'd need help with the graphics. Cheers Gung, for your kind offer.
Alan, great suggestions duly noted. Lammopoly it is. Many thanks.
Has anyone get any others? |

It'd be helpful to know what the properties are named.
Then we could think of some appropriate "Advance to" cards.
Eg "Chased by pack of dogs, advance to Luk Chau." |

Busted for organising a rave on Powerstation beach go directly to Police Box
bitten by centipede go to clinic
Deafened by New Year's fireworks, pay clinic $150 |

Amazing, she must be one of the most venerable residents, she looked ancient 15 years ago!
So my suggestion would be, Stuck under trees drinking Carlseeberg at Granny Chan's, miss a go |

Get beaten up by some Russian guy in the Fountainhead: go directly to the Police Box for questioning, pay $75 for "official hospital report" of cuts and bruises from the Clinic, lose a morning's work making a useless statement in the Police Box; avoid said Russian guy after police advise they can't catch anyone. _________________ Size 10
