One of my coworkers knows I'm into board games and asked about that game for her husband, as he has fond memories playing it with his brother as a kid. She asked me to find a copy. Turns out, there are plenty out there but you had better be prepared to pay dearly for them.

Instead I suggested she get Flick 'Em Up and they've been enjoying it. Shooting little wooden cowboys, because this town isn't big enough for the two of us

Oh, why?

You need it if one player does the thing (I can't even remember what it was) where they then have to receive 1 329 063$ because without the 1 329 063$ banknote there isn't enough play money in the bank.

I'm 99% sure the only thing you can do to get it is "be named Alfred E Neuman" and there is no way to get rid of it, so you could use any "can't win" chit that goes from player to player when they exchange money or seats

Figures that a parody board game is probably one of the most fun of the lot.

Also, 'you win by getting rid of your stuff first' isn't really that weird, given it's the premise of a lot of card games.

I had some kind of second edition of this! It had these seige tower catapult things that had a spring loaded platform on top that trigger when a disc hit the front door. So of course you double banded that as well, so the figurine on top would fly a meter up into the air when it went off. It also had an elemental barrel system, so you could shoot a "fire" barrel, and put a cardboard ring of fire around where it landed, killing all figures it touched. Also came with some kind of ill-conceived ballista wagon that absolutely flew apart when hit.

It was far and away the greatest toy I ever owned as a kid.

edit: it was the Woolworths (rip) exclusive Master Battle Set. Can you believe a store had an exclusive version of a board game?

Ralph Crammed In: May 11, 2007; Let's get clean and smart

A Dutch board game based on a public broadcaster's reality show about trying to run a bed and breakfast in a foreign country. It's loving awful, I bought it for two euros on clearance for Mr Ralph and I to have a laugh and I feel ripped off. You draw cards and go on a board. It's like Candyland without the whimsy and lacks the scheduanfraude of the show were you watch some idiot ruin their life trying to run a cafe in Greece.

We had the Mad boardgame growing up, but also another MAD boardgame that I learned just now was Sweden only.

The Swedish edition of MAD made a parody of monopoly, called Götebörsen, basically "The gothen-exchange". Swedish monopoly takes place in Stockholm, this one was instead set in Gothenburg. Landing on a street owned by another player was no longer simply "pay and go on with your life", instead having you roll a d6 to determine which of the unique per street absurd outcomes would occur. Options included being eaten by seals, asking for the priest in a fish market (very shameful, don't ask) and getting hit by a tram and sued for damages (not suing). Definitely a better game than monopoly, and to my kid self hilarious.

We covered most of the games ITT on Flip the Table. It's...depressing to me how many hours of my life I lost to this crap, but my loss is your gain. Dark Tower, though, was one we always wanted to get but couldn't. Working copies are apparently very rare and pretty expensive when they show up on eBay.

I can start a thread about it, if people want. It would be a fun place to make fun of old, lovely games, but I also found some hidden gems over the years and even found some game mechanics I'd like to see in modern games, or ones just ahead of their time.

It�s fake, but it is solvable.

B. The question never specified you had to choose A, B, C, or D, thus there are infinite possible random answers, even if only four have any chance of being correct.

Since only one answer can be correct, it must be A or D, since they're the only ones that are 25%. So, assuming you preselected one of either A or D to be correct, there's no paradox.

But also it's just photoshopped.

Edit: To explain, take the four possibilities
1) A is correct. In this case, picking A is a 25% chance, meaning A is correct. This works.
2) B is correct. Since you have a 25% of picking B, and 25% is not 0%, this doesn't work.
3) C is correct. Since you have a 25% of picking C, and 50% is not 0%, this doesn't work.
3) D is correct. In this case, picking D is a 25% chance, meaning D is correct. This works.

As long as the question maker pre-decides that A or D is the correct answer, either works. A and D are both "the right" answer of 25%, but as anyone who has taken a poorly written test in school knows, multiple answers can be "the right answer" without being the correct one.

Rasmus: Jul 13, 2016; I wish I was brian Blessed

It's a paradox. I think it would be something like a 30% chance since there are only 3 actual choices (don't know the maths on how to account for two 25% options). But there is no 30%, so you would guess 0%, but then how can you win when you have a 0% chance of getting it right?

That's not how probabilities work. Probabilities rely on having all of the information, even after the fact, and not on the perception of the chooser. There are two chances to get the correct answer of 25%, giving you a 50% probability of selecting that answer regardless of what anybody knows.

This is why switching doors at the game show is flawed as well. Probabilities don't change with perception. They are rooted in having all information available as inputs to the equation.

Ah, but if the answer is A, then D is wrong, because the scantron is only coded to mark A as correct, and therefore A is indeed the correct answer as you have a 25% chance of selecting A. D is wrong because the answer is A.
