1. Bushopoly Game Spaces
Income Tax: If your income is over $200,000...collect $88,000
If your income is over $100,000, but less than $200,000 collect $2,000.
If your income is over $50,000 but less than $100,000, collect a measly $300.
If your income is under $50,000, you are basically screwed. Send it all in, so we can piss it away.

Chance: always a good card if you are wealthy, always bad if you're poor...GET OUT OF JAIL FREE Cards are only redeemable by white-collar criminals like Ken Lay, and only if you are a big Republican Party contributor (sorry, Martha, you're screwed!)

Electric Company: This property is now called ENRON, and you pay 500 times the roll of the dice.

Community Chest: What's that?

Free Parking: No such thing any more! Unless, of course, you are a big Republican Party contributor, in which case, you get to collect the kitty for landing on this space. All others PAY into the kitty for landing on this space. Space is renamed "Steal From The Workers."

Water Works: If you want good, quality water, you are out of luck. Full of mercury and lead and oil, and you pay 25 times the roll of the dice.

Luxury Tax: This space has been changed to Poor Tax. Only poor people pay it, and it goes to fund rich people's luxuries.

The Railroads in the game have changed, now these four spaces appear as follows:

Reading Railroad becomes ExxonMobil
Pennsylvania Railroad becomes ShellTexaco
B&O Railroad becomes Amoco
Short Line becomes Chevron

Rents on these properties fluctuate daily, usually going up, except when it is close to Election Day...then the price goes way down till right after Election Day, and then soars back to it's previous level.

Any more ideas for game spaces on Bushopoly??

3. Some Tokens:
Oil Well
Lethal Injection Girdy
Big SUV
Jammed M16
Unarmored HumVee
OxyContin Pillbox
ExxonValdez ship
Pretzel

The go to jail card applies only to rich whites, everyone else gets the chair.



Houses replaced by Crawford Ranches
Hotels replaced by Saudi Royal Suites

4. I Like The tokens And The Houses and Hotels Concept
Good thinking!!

We oughta get together, make our own Bushopoly game, and try to copyright it!!
LOL!!

Possible Chance Card - If you are poor, Go To Iraq...go directly To Iraq...Do NOT pass GO, Do NOT collect any money, you have no job...and we have cut your veterans' benefits...thanks for your service, soldier...now get your ass over there and DIE!!

Another possible token...a soldier who does not possess adequate body armor...and a private oil company contract worker who DOES possess adequate body armor!!

6. There are companies out there which will print your own custom boards
obviously the more you buy the cheaper they are per unit, but my high school did this as a saleable gimmick for prom or graduation or whateverthefuckitwas
