About Doonesbury Game
This game is based on Gary Trudeau's classic political comic strip, Doonesbury. Trudeau did all the art for the game.The entertainment equivalent of three full sets of tennis, each session of The Doonesbury Game engages you in the critical issues of our times, like handgun control, the deficit, and when you lost your virginity. The ideal player is opinionated and makes sure everyone knows it, likes parlor games to show off a mocking wit, can talk about any subject without knowing anything about it. How to Play: Land on squares with categories like Public Opinion, Flashback and Soundbites. Pick a card, which supplies a topic for that category. Depending on the category, a player gives a presentation or tells a story from his own life relating to the topic, and the other players judge the performance. Or a player writes down words in response to the topic, while other players write their responses and try to match his words. Points are scored. Sarcasm ensues. Sample Topics: "John Kennedy Jr. dials you by mistake. Keep him on the line.", "Talk about a rock group you saw before they were who they became." What's this game got to do with the Doonesbury comic strip? Not much, except for capturing the comic strip's satiric baby-boomer sensibility. Reading the Garry Trudeau strip is not a requirement, although some board spaces make more sense with some background. For example, landing on Boopsie's Channel Change makes players switch places, identities and points. The game is not a trivia-based experience, so lack of knowledge about Garry Trudeau comic strip is no problem. Contents: the Game Board, 6 Pawns, 2 Dice, a 30-second Timer, Pencils, paper Pads, a Ballot Box, 6 Scoring Meters, a Doonesbury Card deck, the Game Card deck, and instructions.
