Second Skin

I've never played "World of Warcraft", but the folks in this movie do. A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT.



I'm not interested in playing "World of Warcraft"...(pause for collective gasp emitted by everyone in the SGD program)...I'm not really into fantasy/mystical stuff. Unless I could have a purple, shiny cape. I've always wanted a purple, shiny cape...with a blood red, velvet lining. Okay - I'm sold. I'm going to...wait...where do they sell "World of Warcraft"? Gas stations?

15 Minute Board Game

15 minutes to create a board game? With rules and stuff? IMPOSSIBLE.

Not for me, Jeff, Jon, and Ian.

Ladies and Gentlemens, I give you...

SCHOOL DAZE
(the original, as it was played, not re-done on a computer to make it look better, game sheet)


Here's how you play:


1. Roll to see who goes first. Highest goes first.

2. What you roll is the number you move.

3. If you land on a dot - get card and follow instructions.

4. If you go to detention - you need to roll the same # twice to get out.

5. Win by finishing school.

6. If you get detention - move to the detention square.


The maximum game time is about 4.73 minutes.  Play by yourself or with up to 37 of your closest friends.  If you can read - you can play.


Here's what you need to play:

Dice, 5 "Reward" cards, 4 "Go to Detention" cards, coins, stick of gum, fake lobster claw


Here are some examples of the cards:


Pretty freaking amazing, ain't it?  Milton Bradley has already contacted us.  The baseball player, NOT the game company.
