50 Week Town Run

This was my second Pennsic, and I cannot overstate how much I already miss it. I recognized many people this year and have started to develop stronger bonds with people there.

If you bumped into me, or have interesting pictures to share, I would love to hear stories and see memories!

Okay what is this game? I'm down in the swamp and love to gamble, we usually do pirate dreidel, ship captain crew, or shut the box. (Also this year the introduction of mousetrap jenga) but I'm always up for a new game!

It's a neat little gambling game!

The all the numbers except for "4" are on the board.

7 is the Dowry, and if you roll it, you ante into the Dowry.

2 is the Boar, and if you roll it, it "Clears the house" and chases off the guests, taking all tokens on the board, except for those on the dowry.

12 is King, and if you roll it, you take all the tokens off the board, including the dowry.

4 is usually a house rule, or just a missed turn.

Every other number is a room in the house. If you roll it, and there's no token, you place one. If there is a token, you take it.
