BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing background, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a means for challenging entertainment for a plurality of users. Comprising of other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are provided by a combination comprising of a game board with an attached spinner. Thus the embodiment of the present invention “Bootleggers and the COP” is set in the 1920's era during Prohibition. Comprising of Bootleggers that are bootlegging whiskey barrels and the GGG-Man or Government Man also known as the Cop goes around the board landing on random spaces on the paths of the board arresting the Bootleggers.

To start the game, the board has a space called the Payoff space where each player, a required minimum of two players and a maximum of eight players, places a Car Pawn on said space. The game has four corner spaces on the board that sell whiskey barrels respectively in progression of $50.00, $75.00, $100.00, $150.00 dollars per barrel on each space. And fourteen indicia speakeasies clockwise around the paths of the game board that buys whiskey barrels from the Bootleggers. Said speakeasies increasing in indicia price in the amount a speakeasy will buy a barrel of whiskey as a player progress clockwise around the paths of the board. The lowest amount a speakeasy will pay for a barrel of whiskey is 25.00 dollars, and 2000.00 dollars per barrel the highest amount a speakeasy will pay for a barrel of whiskey.

The board comprising a figure eight square shape paths with a path going through the middle, shown in FIG. 1A. There are twenty-two properties which can be purchased by the players to make money by charging any trespasser a trespass fee, or maximize their trespassing fees by placing a Still Card on their property, converting the property to an Illegal Whiskey Manufacturing Operation or I.W.M.O. A player has the choice to remain honest, or can bootleg whiskey.

When every player has moved from the Payoff space, then the last player has the responsibility to spin the spinner once more for the GGG-Man Pawn, and independent pawn. And move the GGG-Man Pawn or Government Man the number indicated on the spinner. The purpose for the GGG-Man is to pursue the Bootleggers and arrest them if or when the GGG-Man Pawn comes to rest on a space that a Bootlegger occupies. The Bootlegger must then pull a Judge & Jury Card and go before the Judge.

If you remain honest there is a plurality of spaces called the Road Block space looking for Bootleggers, and if a player land on one of these spaces and do not possess Whiskey Barrel Cards they can pull a Road Block Card. The Road Block Cards reward a player for not bootlegging, and also helps an honest player to receive large amounts of money to help the honest player compete with the large amounts of money a Bootlegger can make bootlegging whiskey barrels to the speakeasies around the paths of the board.

There are two properties among the twenty-two properties that are the most significant and expensive. Mr. Big and JB's Place which represents either an honest Entrepreneur or a dishonest Crime Boss property. When a player owns one of these two properties, the other properties that a player own double in the amount the player can charge in trespassing fees, indicated on the back of each Property Card.

The game has twenty-two Still Cards for each property on the paths of the board. A player can buy and place a Still Card on each of their properties converting the property to an Illegal Whiskey Manufacturing Operation or I.W.M.O, to enable the player to charge more in trespass fees. But if the GGG-Man land on a property with a Still Card operating on it, the property and the Still Card will be confiscated.

There is a temporary slight advantage to bootleg because if you place a Still Card simultaneously on the lesser valued properties and a Still Card on one of the two most expensive properties Mr. Big or JB's Place you can incorporate all the properties and get the maximum trespassing fee if someone lands on your properties. The GGG-Man is exempt. No single player can purchase or own both Mr. Big and JB's Place, however if a player lands on a property and cannot pay the trespass fee in full, the owner can take all that they own including Mr. Big or JB's Place properties.

If the GGG-Man lands on a property with a Still Card operating on it, or a space that a Bootlegger occupies at the same time as the GGG-Man, that property and Still Card will be confiscated, or the Bootlegger with whiskey will be placed in jail. The player that owns one of the two main properties Mr. Big or JB's Place and dominates the board forcing the other players out the game, wins the game. There is a plurality of ways to determine the winner of the game shown in part B. section 20

The game apparatus has a plurality of cards including twenty-two indicia Road Block Cards, shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 5; and twenty-two indicia Judge & Jury Cards, shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 7; and twenty two indicia Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 3; and twenty-two indicia Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10; and forty-nine indicia Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9; and one indicia GGG-Man Card measuring 1¼ in width.×2¼ in. height, mounted on a red plastic stand measuring approx. ¾ in. width, ¾ in. depth, ½ in. height, shown FIG. 8; and twenty-two indicia properties on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T; and fourteen indicia speakeasies on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N; and four indicia Whiskey for Sale spaces on each of the corners of the board, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D; and four indicia Road Block spaces, shown in FIG. 1-3A-3D; and two indicia Stop spaces, shown in FIG. 1-5A-5B; and two indicia Double Cross Hank spaces, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B.

Wherein comprising one area indicia Judge & Jury to place the Judge & Jury Cards, shown in FIG. 1-9, one area indicia Road Block to place the Road Block Cards, shown in FIG. 1-10; and two of the twenty-two indicia properties Mr. Big and JB's Place, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, that comprises the center path and the most expensive and significant path of the square figure eight board design, shown in FIG. 1-1A. And the County Jail Cell space, shown in FIG. 1-11, and the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13.

The GGG-Man machine gun Spinner, shown in FIG. 1-8, is attached to the board shown in FIG. 1-1A, and gives the appearance that the gun is firing when you spin the spinner's arrow. The spinner's arrow lands on a random number on the number dial when the players take turns spinning. And said number determines how many spaces on the paths of the board to move the Car Pawn or token during the turn of a player. The spinner has 15 numbers and one space on the number dial without a number that has an image of a Machine Gun mussel flash, shown in FIG. 1-8. If a player spin the spinner and the arrow lands on the space on the number dial that do not have said number, said player must stay in place wherever they are on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13 until the next round to spin the Spinner. Said player must pay another trespass fee to the owner, Double Cross Hank bribe, or fine if applicable, or receive another Payoff.

Each player takes a turn spinning the Spinner, shown in part B. section 3, FIG. 1-8 once before the actual start of the game to determine the spinning order of each player in the game. The game requires a minimum of 2 players, and a maximum of 8 players, and said spin determines which player will spin the spinner first, second, third, fourth, in respective order until the last player spins the spinner.

The spin order is important because it determines which player will have multiple roles playing and a work assignment in the game as the banker, and which player will play the game and also assist in moving the GGG-Man after each round of play in the game. The concept of the game apparatus is that a plurality of the players not only play the board game but also have other duties in the game to keep the game progressing, other than moving their personal Car Pawn to win the game.

The last player to move is also responsible for moving the GGG-Man Pawn. And the player might in fact put himself out the game due to the GGG-Man an independent pawn landing on that player property with a Still Card. Or the GGG-Man randomly land on a space which that player occupies on the paths of the board in possession of a Whiskey Barrel Card, and placed in Jail. The highest number on the Spinner determines which player moves first, or the players can choose who moves first, and second, respectively to the last player by the seating order of each player seated clockwise around the game board.

The first player to move in the game has the responsibility to assist and serve as the banker, shown in part B. section 4. The banker is in charge of banking transactions e.g. Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, and part B. section 7, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, and part B. section 10 and Whiskey Barrel Card purchases, shown in FIG. 9, and part B. section 9 and cash transactions e.g. exchanging currency for players, shown in FIG. 13, and part B. section 4, Payoff Space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, and part B. section 5, and fines for Judge & Jury Cards, shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, and part B. section 12, and rewards from Road Block Cards, shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, and part B. section 13.

The banker also collects the Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, and Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, that the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, confiscates from Bootleggers, shown in part B. section 6, 9, 10, 14, as well as Money, shown in FIG. 11, to be returned to the Bank or the banker when a player loses the game. The banker places all fines, penalties from the Judge & Jury Cards, shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, and Double Cross Hank, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B, and part B. section 16, bribes beneath the board under the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, and part B. section 5, 15.

Each player at the beginning of the game receives a predetermined amount of money, shown in FIG. 11, in the amount of 3,000 dollars total in game currency from the Bank, distributed by the banker in the following denominations: $1000×1 bill, $500×3 bills, $100×3 bills, $50×2 bills, $20×3 bills, $10×3 bills and $5×2 bills, shown in part B. section 4. If the banker loses the game said banker can remain as the banker, or another player in the game can choose to be the banker.

The last player to move in the game has the responsibility to spin the spinner for the GGG-Man, and move the GGG-Man Pawn, shown in FIG. 8, and part B. section 6, at the end of each round after every player has completed their turn.

The GGG-Man Pawn, shown in FIG. 8, is known as the Government Man, also known as the Revenue Man, and the Cop. His purpose is to chase and arrest all the Bootleggers on the paths of the board and put them in Jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, and part B. section 6, 12.

The game starts on the Payoff Space, shown in FIG. 1-1B. To begin the game, each said player places said Car Pawn shown in FIG. 12, on the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, and spins the spinner, shown in FIG. 1-8. Each player move their Car Pawns the number of connected spaces that constitutes the paths of the board the random number indicated by the spinners arrow landing on the number dial. After every player has moved, including the last player, then the last player has the responsibility to spin the spinner once more for the GGG-Man, and move the GGG-Man the number indicated, shown in FIG. 8.

The GGG-Man always moves forward progressing on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13. He must turn right if he lands on the Stop Space, shown in FIG. 1-5A-B, and part B. section 11. The GGG-Man is exempt from all trespass fees on properties, shown in FIG. 3, fines from Judge & Jury Cards, shown in FIG. 7, or moving backwards on Double Cross Hank, shown in FIG. 1-12B.

Once a player move from the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, said player can immediately purchase any property that a players Car Pawn lands on, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T. When the players move from the Payoff space and make a circumference around the board once, thereafter when a player lands directly on the Payoff space. The player will receive a payoff of $100 dollars from the Bank, shown in FIG. 13, and any money placed beneath the Payoff space from fines, penalties, Double Cross Hank bribes. No Property Cards, Still Cards, or Whiskey Barrel Cards are placed under the Payoff space, shown in part B. section 14.

At the start of the game, all properties are honest real estate. Names such as Cross Bone Brewery, Tennessee Mash, shown in FIG. 2, are just titles only, not actual bootlegging operations until a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, is placed on the properties, so an honest Entrepreneur can buy properties and make an honest dollar from trespass fees.

When a player places a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, on a property they own, the property then becomes an Illegal Whiskey Manufacturing Operation, I.W.M.O, shown in part B. section 10, that you can go to jail for, shown in part B. section 14. Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, increases a Bootlegger's risk of losing their property and going to jail, shown in FIG. 1-11. A Still Card increases the amount of money a Bootlegger can receive if someone trespasses on their property with a I.W.M.O, shown in part B. section 10.

Still Cards or tokens can be bought for $50 each from the banker after a player purchases a property on their next turn. A player is allowed to place only one Still Card on a property. And a player cannot keep a Still Card covertly on the side of the board. Still Cards must remain on the properties, for which they were purchased, in plain sight. A player cannot transfer a Still Card to another property or sell to another player for profit, or to outwit the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8. A Still Card represents an Alcohol Still or an I.W.M.O, shown in FIG. 10, and part B. section 10, and is illegal.

Bootleggers can surrender any Still Card and Whiskey Barrel Card they have to the banker to return to honesty, or to outwit the GGG-Man shown in part B. section 6, when they see him progressing along the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, on their turn only. There is no refund when a player returns a Still Card or their Whiskey Barrel Cards to the banker, shown in part B. section 9, 10.

When the GGG-Man Pawn lands on a property with a Still Card. The property and the Still Card will immediately be confiscated by the GGG-Man. The banker acts on behalf of the GGG-Man shown in FIG. 8, and part B. section 6. The player who owns the confiscated property does not pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6, and part B. section 12, or hand over their Whiskey Barrel Cards in their possession, shown in FIG. 9. Unless the player a Bootlegger occupies that same space or property with a Still Card at the same time the GGG-Man occupies that same space, shown in part B. section 6.

There is no limit on how much property a player can purchase, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, except no single person can own both Mr. BIG and JB's Place properties shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, unless the player wins the property due to none payment of an trespass fee, shown in part B. section 14.

When a player purchases a property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, the player can buy a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, for that property on the player next turn. The banker gives a Property Card for each property a player purchases, shown in FIG. 2. The Property Card indicates the price of the property and how much money a player will receive if someone trespasses on that property with a Still Card or without a Still Card, shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 10, and part B. section 7. Trespass fees apply to all players of the game except the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 3.

Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, shows the sale price for each property and is indicated on the reverse side of the Property Cards, shown in FIG. 3. There are pluralities of properties that are different colors which also visually help to determine the price of the properties, shown in FIG. 3. The properties are priced according to these colors: green=$400, navy blue=$600, purple=$800, light blue=$1000, gold=$1500, and Mr. Big and JB's Place are gold, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B=$2000 dollars.

If a player places a Still Card on a property the trespass fee increases for that property, shown in FIG. 3, part B. section 10. If a player owns Mr. BIG or JB's Place the trespass fee significantly increases as indicated on the reverse side of the Property Card, shown in FIG. 3, as well as all the other properties that a player owns, with or without a Still Card on said properties.

If the GGG-Man lands on any property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, speakeasies shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, or a plurality of spaces on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, where there is a Bootlegger, or a player who possesses Whiskey Barrels Cards, shown in FIG. 9, or a Bootlegger lands on the same space that the GGG-Man occupies on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 8.

Then the game pauses and the player immediately surrender their Whiskey Barrels Cards, shown in FIG. 9, to the GGG-Man, or the banker, shown in FIG. 8, and in part B. section 4. The player then pulls a Judge & Jury Card immediately, shown in FIG. 6, and follows the directions of the Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 7, and part B. section 12. The game then continues.

If the GGG-Man lands on an unoccupied property with no player there, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, with a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, that property and the Still Card will be confiscated by the GGG-Man, or the banker, shown in FIG. 8. The Bootlegger who owns the property must turn in the Property Card, shown in FIG. 2, and the Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, to the GGG-Man, or the banker immediately, shown in FIG. 8. The Bootlegger does not hand over their Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, in this case, if they have said whiskey barrels, except if the player occupies the same space at the same time as the GGG-Man. lithe GGG-Man lands on a property, shown in, FIG. 1-2A-2T, with a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, and the player occupies the same space, but the player possesses no Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9. The player must surrender that property, shown in FIG. 2, and the Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, to the GGG-Man or the banker, shown in FIG. 8, and pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6 and follow the directions of the court.

If the player is fined for each Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, and part B. section 12, on their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, when the player pulls a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6, then the players Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, and part B. section 10, are confiscated by the banker and removed from their properties. When a player is released from jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, the player must return to the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, spin the spinner, shown in FIG. 1-8, and then continue the game. A player does not receive a payoff, shown in FIG. 1-1B, when they are released from jail, shown in FIG. 1-11.

As the players follow the paths of the board in a clockwise direction, shown in FIG. 1-13, the player can choose to buy whiskey barrels from a Whiskey for Sale space, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, and part B. section 9, and bootleg the whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D. Possession of Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, makes a player a criminal, or a Bootlegger. A player can purchase as many Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, as they want when the player lands on any one of the four Whiskey for Sale spaces, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, on the four corners of the game board, shown in FIG. 1-1A.

When a player lands on a Whiskey for Sale space, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, the price for each unit or whiskey barrel, shown in FIG. 9, will be indicia on that particular Whiskey for Sale space. A calculator can be used for large purchases of whiskey barrels. There are four Whiskey for Sale spaces around the board, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, where a player can purchase whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, for different prices increasing in price as a player progress clockwise on the paths of the board, in the following order of increments per said Whiskey for Sale space: $50, $75, $100 and $150 per barrel respectively, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, and part B. section 9.

When a player purchases a whiskey barrel they will receive a Whiskey Barrel Card, shown in FIG. 9. The Whiskey Barrel Cards are in denominations of: 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 respectively, shown in FIG. 9. Example: If a player buys 10 whiskey barrels, the player will receive a Whiskey Barrel Card with the indicia denomination 10, shown in FIG. 9, and part B. section 9.

A player cannot buy whiskey barrels if the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, occupies the Whiskey for Sale space, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, when a player lands on that space, and if a Bootlegger has whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, when they land on a space that the GGG-Man occupies, they will have to pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6.

Players can surrender any Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, or Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, they possess to the banker to return to honesty, no refund, on their turn only. As a player follows the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, when they land on a Speakeasy space, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, and part B. section 8, they can sell their whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, to a speakeasy, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, for a substantial profit.

Speakeasies, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, are illegal dwellings that buy whiskey barrels or Moonshine, shown in FIG. 9, from Bootleggers. A player, if they choose, can buy whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, at a low price from a Whiskey for Sale space, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, and sell it illegally to speakeasies, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, at a higher price. The amount that a speakeasy will pay for a whiskey barrel increases as a players pawn or token progress the paths of the board clockwise, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N.

There are fourteen speakeasies on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, ranging in price from 25 dollars to 2,000.00 dollars, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, that will buy whiskey barrels. Players who land on one of the Speakeasy spaces, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, can sell as many of their whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, as they like, for the price indicia on that particular speakeasy space, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N. A player can sell one barrel, or all their barrels, shown in FIG. 9.

The strategy is to buy at a low price and sell at a high price to a speakeasy, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, on the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, without getting arrested by the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, before getting rid of all their Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9. A player cannot sell Whiskey Barrel cards, shown in FIG. 9, to another player in the game, or trade Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, for property, shown in FIG. 2, or any other asset. If a player does not wish to sell to that particular speakeasy, shown in FIG. 1-4A-4N, and are looking for a better price and willing to take a chance of getting arrested, shown in FIG. 8, the player should simply continue on their next turn, on the next round of play.

When a player, land on another person property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, they must pay a trespassing fee, shown in FIG. 3, and part B. section 15. The amount of each property trespassing fee is on the back of each Property Card, shown in FIG. 3. To increase the amount of money a player can receive in trespass fees, shown in FIG. 3, the player must operate a still, I.W.M.O, on their property, shown in FIG. 10. To maximize the amount in trespass fees, shown in FIG. 3, a player must own Mr. Big or JB's Place, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, to take control of the board, shown in FIG. 1-1A.

If a player trespass on another player's property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, and cannot pay the trespass fee in full, shown in FIG. 3, the player must surrender the remainder of their money, shown in FIG. 11, and all that they own, all properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-T, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, and Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, if any, to the owner. The player then loses the game.

All the payments from fines, penalties, shown in FIG. 7, and Double Cross Hank bribes, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B, are paid immediately in cash, shown in FIG. 11, to the banker, shown in part B. section 4. If a player cannot pay a fine, penalty, shown in FIG. 7, or Double Cross Hank bribe, shown in FIG. 1-12B, the player loses the game, then their money, shown in FIG. 11, Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, and Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, go back to the Bank.

Money shown in FIG. 11, received from fines, penalties, shown in FIG. 4A-4B, and Double Cross Hank bribes, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B, and part B. section 15, are placed beneath the board, under the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, by the banker for additional rewards to the player that land directly on the Payoff Space, shown in FIG. 1-1B. A player must land directly on the Payoff Space to receive the 100.00 dollar payoff, shown in FIG. 1-1B, plus the money beneath the Payoff space placed there by the banker from fines, penalties, shown in FIG. 7, and bribes from Double Cross Hank, shown in FIG. 1-12B.

As a player progress the paths of the board, shown in FIG. 1-13, periodically they will land on the Road Block Space, shown in FIG. 1-3A-3D. Road Block Cards, shown in FIG. 4, are rewards and benefits for the honest Entrepreneur who chooses not to bootleg whiskey. The rewards range from money rewards up to 1000.00 dollars, shown in FIG. 5, to a pass to the nearest Whiskey for Sale space, shown in FIG. 1-6A-6D, if you choose to bootleg.

Any player who lands on the Road Block space, shown in FIG. 1-3A-3D, and possesses no Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, or Still Cards on their properties, shown in FIG. 10, should pull a Road Block Card, shown in FIG. 4, and follow the directions on the card, shown in FIG. 5. If a player lands on the Road Block space, shown in FIG. 1-3A-3D, with Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, in their possession, the player should pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6.

A player does not pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 1-9, and FIG. 6, for possessing just Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, on their properties only, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, with no Whiskey Barrel Cards in their possession, shown in FIG. 9. However if a player is caught by the Road Block with Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, in their possession and pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6, and the card fines the player for their stills, shown in FIG. 10, the player must pay the fine and remove all their stills, shown in FIG. 10, from their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T and give them to the banker. Also, if a player owns a still, shown in FIG. 10, on any property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, FIG. 2, the player cannot receive money, shown in FIG. 11, or receive the benefits from a Road Block Cards, shown in FIG. 5. The player should continue on their next turn.

When a Bootlegger lands on the Road Block space, shown in FIG. 1-3A-3D, with Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, in their possession, they must pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in 6, and follow the directions of the court on the card, shown in part B. section 12. If the player does not go to jail, the player should follow the directions on the card, and then move to the Payoff space, shown in FIG. 1-1B, on their next turn. The player should spin the spinner, shown in FIG. 1-8, and continue the game.

A Bootlegger with only Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, on their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, FIG. 2, only pulls a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6, if the player occupies the same space with the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8. If a player is arrested by the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, the player must surrender their Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, to the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, the banker. Then the player must pull a Judge & Jury Card, shown in FIG. 6, and follow the directions of the court on the card, shown in FIG. 7, and part B. section 12. A player must pay all fines, shown in FIG. 7, in cash immediately, and if the player doesn't have the money, shown in FIG. 11, the player loses the game.

If the court, shown in FIG. 7, places a player in jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, the player must place their Car Pawn on the County Jail Cell space, shown in FIG. 1-11, next to the judge on the board, shown in FIG. 1-9. The player automatically loses their Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, but the player does not lose the Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, on their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T. Any fines must be paid immediately in cash money, shown in FIG. 11, or the player loses the game. A player cannot sell their property, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, to another player to raise money, or borrow money to pay a fine, shown in FIG. 7.

When a player loses the game to the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, or the court, shown in FIG. 1-9, all of their possessions go back to the Bank, the banker, to be resold. While the player is in jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, they cannot participate in any money transactions, and money exchanges, shown in part B. section 4, 7, 9, 15. Other players can land on their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, without paying a trespassing fee shown, in FIG. 3. The GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8, can also confiscate their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, if the GGG-Man lands on a property with a Still Card shown in FIG. 10.

After following the directions of the court, shown in FIG. 1-9, and part B. section 12, when a player is released from jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, the player must return their Car Pawn, shown in FIG. 12, to the Payoff Space, shown in FIG. 1-1B on their turn, then, the player must spin the spinner, shown in FIG. 1-8, and continue the game. The player does not receive a payoff, shown in FIG. 1-1B, and part B. section 5.

Anytime a player lands directly on the Stop Space, shown in FIG. 1-5A-5B, they must turn right, always following the direction of the arrows, shown in part B. section 11, on their next turn. A player does not lose their Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, or Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, on their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, or pay a fine, shown in FIG. 7, the player just turns right.

Double Cross Hank, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B, is a dishonest criminal who will hijack your whiskey barrels, shown in FIG. 9, and take your money, shown in FIG. 11. On one particular indicia Double Cross Hank space, shown in FIG. 1-12B, a player who lands on it must pay a $100 dollar bribe as immediately. Once the player pays the bribe, the player must move backwards two spaces, shown in FIG. 1-12B. Bribe payments and moving backward apply to the players, but never to the GGG-Man, shown in FIG. 8.

On another Double Cross Hank space, the player must hand over any Whiskey Barrel Cards that the player has to the banker, and continue on their next turn, shown in FIG. 1-12A. Players do not go to jail, shown in FIG. 1-11, or turn in their Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, from their properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, to Double Cross Hank, shown in FIG. 1-12A-12B.

Mr. Big and JB's Place properties, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, these are the most expensive properties on the board, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, FIG. 3, and part B. section 17. The player chooses whether to operate Mr. Big or JB's Place properties as honest Entrepreneur's, or dishonest Crime Boss's corporations. These two properties make it possible for a player to incorporate their properties, and receive more than double the trespass fee on all the other lesser valued properties purchased by the player, shown in FIG. 3, and part B. section 7, 17. And can dominate and take control of the game board, shown in FIG. 1-1A. Example: Cross Bone Brewery trespass fee without a Still Card is $400 dollars if you do not own Mr. Big or JB's Place property, shown in FIG. 3. If you do own Mr. Big or JB's Place property, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, the trespass fee without a Still Card is $1000 dollars, shown in FIG. 3. Mr. Big and JB's Place trespass fee do not increase like the other properties, shown in FIG. 3. The normal trespass fee applies $1000 without a Still Card, and $2000 with a Still Card for both properties, shown in FIG. 3.

But in order to collect the highest trespassing fees on all of the other properties, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, owned by a player, the player must take a risk and operate a Still Card, shown in FIG. 10, simultaneously, on Mr. Big or JB's Place properties, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, and on the other properties that the player owns, shown in FIG. 1-2A-2T, part B. section 17. No single person can own both Mr. Big and JB's Place properties, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, FIG. 3, unless the player takes another players property for non-payment of a trespass fee.

The ultimate challenge is for two players, wherein each player owns one of the two properties Mr. Big or JB's Place shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, and each of the two players try to control and dominate the whole board shown in FIG. 1-1A. The last player left that can dominate and take control of the board, shown in FIG. 1-1A, and force the other players out the game, wins the game.

There are a plurality of circumstances that can determine the winner of the game. 1. The last player which owns one of the two main properties Mr. Big or JB's Place, or both properties for non-payment of a trespass fee, shown in FIG. 1-7A-7B, and controls the board and most of the properties, shown in FIG. 1-1A, and forces the other players out the game.

2. The Bank becomes bankrupt, shown in FIG. 13, then all the players add up all their assets, Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, Money, shown in FIG. 11, and Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, and the player with the most ownership wins the game.

3. The game is stopped due to the lack of time, the players then add up all their assets, Property Cards, shown in FIG. 2, Still Cards, shown in FIG. 10, Whiskey Barrel Cards, shown in FIG. 9, and Money, shown in FIG. 11, and the player with the most ownership wins the game.

B. Rules, Vocabulary, and Document Definitions

Section 1: Object of the Game: It is the 1920s and Prohibition has become law. Bootlegging has turned into a big criminal enterprise. A Bootlegger is a criminal who distills or manufactures, and sells illegal whiskey, known as Moonshine for money. In this game you can buy property and place a Still Card on said property, and make money from trespass fees whether you're an honest Entrepreneur, or a dishonest Crime Boss. While you're bootlegging, the GGG-Man, Government Man is moving around the board chasing and arresting Bootleggers to put them in jail. You do not have to bootleg to win the game. The last player left that owns Mr. Big or JB's Place, or have the most ownership and earnings, wins the game.

Section 2: Policing the Game: The player that reads and understands the rules to the game gets to wear the Police Hat, and polices the game by reminding the players of the rules. The police keeps the game progressing when there is a controversy with the rules while playing the game, or between players.

Section 3: The Spinner: The spinner has 15 numbers and one space without a number on the number dial. Each player should take a turn spinning the spinner, once. The highest number on the number dial determines which player moves first, the next highest goes second, respectively till the last player. Or the players can choose who moves first, and second, till the last player by the order of each player seated clockwise around the game board.

The first player to move in the game will act as the banker and wear the Bank Visor Hat. The last player to move wears the Grey or Black Felt Fedora, and will spin for and move the GGG-Man at the end of each round of said spins after every player has completed their turn. If a player spins the spinner and lands on the space without a number, that player must stay in place until their next turn to spin, and is required to pay any trespass fee, penalties, or reward, can buy, sell, or conduct another money transaction depending on the space the players pawn lands on.

Section 4: The Bank, Banker, and Money: The first player to move in the game acts as the banker, and wears the Bank Visor hat. The banker is in charge of banking transactions e.g. Property, Still and Whiskey Barrel purchases and cash transactions e.g. making change for players, payouts, and fines for Road Block and Judge & Jury Cards. The banker also collects the Property, Still and Whiskey Barrel Cards that the GGG-Man confiscates from criminals, as well as money to be returned to the bank when a player loses the game. The banker places all fines, penalties and Double Cross Hank bribes beneath the board under the Payoff space.

Each player at the beginning of the game receives $3,000 from the banker in the following denominations: $1000×1, $500×3, $100×3, $50×2, $20×3, $10×3 and $5×2. If the banker loses the game he can remain as the banker, or another player can choose to be the banker. Whenever the Bank goes bankrupt, then the game is over and all players must add up their property and money. The player with the most ownership and earnings wins the game.

Section 5: Payoff Space: The game starts on the Payoff space. To begin the game, each player places their Car Pawn on the Payoff space and spins the spinner. After each player has moved around the board once, thereafter, when a player lands directly on the Payoff space, they will receive a payoff of $100 dollars and any money placed beneath the Payoff space. When a player is released from jail, the player must return to the Payoff space, spin the spinner, and then continue. A player does not receive a payoff when the player is released from jail.

Section 6: GGG-MAN: The Government Man is also known as the Revenue Man, and the Cop! His purpose is to chase down and arrest all Bootleggers and put them in jail. After all the players move including the last player, then the last player then spins the spinner once more for the GGG-Man, and moves the GGG-Man around the board the number of spaces indicated on the number dial. Other players can help move the GGG-Man. The GGG-Man always moves forward, never backwards. He must turn right if he lands on the Stop space. The GGG-Man is exempt from all trespass fees, fines or moving backwards on Double Cross Hank. If the GGG-Man lands on any property, speakeasy, etc. space where there is a Bootlegger, a player who possesses whiskey barrels. If a Bootlegger lands on the same space that the GGG-Man occupies, then the game pauses and the player immediately surrender their Whiskey Barrel Cards, to the GGG-Man, the bank. The player then pulls a Judge & Jury Card immediately and follows the directions of the court. The game, then, continues.

When the GGG-Man lands on an unoccupied property with a still on it and the owner is not present, then the property and the still will be confiscated by the GGG-Man, the bank. The Bootlegger who owns the property must turn in the Property Card and the Still Card to the GGG-Man, the bank immediately. The Bootlegger does not hand over their whiskey barrels in this case, only if the player occupies the same space at the same time as the GGG-Man. If the GGG-Man lands on a property with a still and the player occupies the space, but the player possess no whiskey barrels then the player must surrender that property and the Still Card to the GGG-Man, the bank. The player must pull a Judge & Jury Card and follow the directions of the court. And if the court fines the Bootlegger for their Still Cards on their properties, the Bootlegger must pay the fine, and remove all their Still Cards from their properties, and return them to the Bank.

Section 7: Property and Property Cards: The price for each property is indicated on the Property Cards and by their colors, green=$400, navy blue=$600, purple=$800, light blue=$1000, gold=$1500, Mr. Big and JB's Place=$2000 dollars. When the game starts, a player can immediately purchase any property that the player pawn lands on, once the players moves from the Payoff space. At the start of the game, all properties are honest real estate. Names such as Cross Bone Brewery, Tennessee Mash, etc. are just titles, not actual bootlegging operations unless stills are placed on them. So, an honest Entrepreneur can buy properties and make an honest dollar from trespass fees.

When a player places a Still Card on a property, that property becomes an illegal whiskey manufacturing operation, I.W.M.O, that you can go to jail for. There is no limit on how much property a player can purchase. When a player purchases a property, said player can buy a still for that property on their next turn.

The banker gives a Property Card for each property a player purchases. The Property Card indicates the price of the property and how much money a player will receive if someone trespasses on that property. Trespass fees apply to all except the GGG-Man.

If a player puts a still on a property, the trespass fee increases for that property. If a player owns Mr. Big or JB's Place, the trespass fee increases significantly as indicated on the Property Card, and on all the other properties that the player owns, with or without a still on the properties. No single person can own both Mr. Big and JB's Place accept the player wins the property due to non-payment by a trespasser.

Section 8: Speakeasy, Moonshine, and Booze wanted Stops: These are illegal dwellings that buy whiskey barrels, or Moonshine from Bootleggers. A player, if he chooses, can buy whiskey barrels at a low price, and sell it illegally to speakeasies at a higher price. Players who land on one of the Speakeasy spaces can sell as many of their whiskey barrels as they would like, for the price indicated on that space. A player cannot sell whiskey barrels to another player in the game or trade whiskey barrels for property, or any other asset. If a player does not wish to sell, the player should simply continue on his next turn.

Section 9: Whiskey for Sale Space, Whiskey Barrels, and Whiskey Barrel Cards: Possession of whiskey barrels makes a player a Bootlegger and a criminal. A player can purchase as many whiskey barrels as they want when the player lands on any one of the four, Whiskey for Sale spaces. When a player lands on a Whiskey for Sale space, the price for each whiskey barrel will be indicated on that space. A calculator can be used for large purchases of whiskey barrels. There are four, Whiskey for Sale spaces around the board that a player can purchase whiskey barrels at different prices: $50, $75, $100 and $150 respectively per barrel.

When a player purchases a whiskey barrel they will receive a Whiskey Barrel Card. The Whiskey Barrel Cards are in denominations of: 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 respectively. Example: If a player buys 10 whiskey barrels, the player will receive a Whiskey Barrel Card with the denomination 10 on it. A player cannot buy whiskey barrels if the GGG-Man occupies the Whiskey for Sale space when a player lands there. Players can surrender any whiskey barrels they have to the bank to return to honesty, no refund, on their turn only.

Section 10: Still Cards: A Still Card represents an Illegal Whiskey Manufacturing Operation, or I.W.M.O when placed on a property. Still Cards increases a Bootlegger's risk of losing his property and going to jail. A Still Card also increases the amount of money a Bootlegger can charge for someone trespassing on their property. Stills can be bought for $50 each, after a player purchases a property on his next turn. A player is allowed only one Still Card per property. A player cannot keep a Still card covertly on the side of the board. Stills must remain on the properties for which they were purchased, in plain sight. A player cannot transfer a Still Card to another property, or sell to another player for profit, or to outwit the GGG-Man. Remember, a still is illegal.

Players can surrender any stills they have to the banker to return to honesty, or a criminal to outwit the GGG-Man when they see him coming on their turn only. There is no refund when a player returns a Still Card to the bank. When the GGG-Man lands on a property with a still, the still and the property will immediately be confiscated.

The player who owns the confiscated property does not pull a Judge & Jury Card, or hand over whiskey barrels in their possession unless the Bootlegger occupies that same space or property at the same time the GGG-Man occupies that space or property. If a player is caught bootlegging whiskey barrels and pull a Judge & Jury Card that specifically says that, if a player has a still he must pay a specific fine for each still. The player must pay the fine and then take their Still Cards off all their properties, and return them to the banker. When a player pulls a Road Block Card and they own a still, the player cannot receive honest rewards, money, or benefits from the Road Block Card. Just keep moving on your next turn.

Section 11: Stop Space: Anytime a player lands directly on the Stop space they only have to turn right on their next turn. Always follow the direction of the arrows. A player does not lose their whiskey barrels, Still Cards, or pay a fine, the player just turns right.

Section 12: Judge & Jury Cards: When a Bootlegger lands on the Road Block space with whiskey barrels in their possession they must pull a Judge & Jury Card and follow the directions of the court. If the player does not go to jail, said player should follow the directions, and move to the Payoff space. On his next turn, the player should spin the spinner and continue the game.

A Bootlegger with only Still Cards on their property only pulls a Judge & Jury card if the player occupies the same space with the GGG-Man. If a player is arrested by the GGG-Man, the player must surrender his whiskey barrels to the GGG-Man, the bank. The player must pull a Judge & Jury Card and follow the directions on the card. A player must pay all fines in cash immediately. If said player does not have the money, the player loses the game.

If the court places a player in jail, the player must place his Car Pawn on the County Jail Cell space next to the Judge. When a player is released from jail, the player must return his Car Pawn to the Payoff space on his turn, then, the player must spin the spinner and continue. The player does not receive a payoff.

Section 13: Road Block Space and Road Block Cards: The Road Block Cards are rewards for the honest Entrepreneur who chooses not to bootleg. Any player who lands on the Road Block space and possess no whiskey barrels or stills should pull a Road Block Card and follow the directions on the card. If a player lands on the Road Block space with whiskey barrels in said player possession, the player should pull a Judge & Jury Card.

A player does not pull a Judge & Jury Card for owning just Still Cards on said player properties only, no whiskey barrels in their possession. However, if said player is caught with whiskey barrels at the Road Block space, and pull a Judge & Jury card that specifically says for each Still Card pay this amount. The player then must pay the fine and then remove all their Still Cards off their properties and return them to the bank. Also, if a player owns a still on any property, the player cannot receive money, or the benefits from a Road Block Card. The player should continue on his next turn.

Section 14: Jail Space: Any player that goes to jail must place his car on the County Jail Cell space, next to the judge on the board. The player automatically loses his whiskey barrels. A player does not lose the Still Cards on his properties. Any fines must be paid immediately in cash money, or the player loses the game.

A player cannot sell property to another player to raise money, or borrow money to pay a fine. When a player loses the game to the GGG-Man, or the court, all of his possessions go back to the bank to be resold. While the player is in jail, he cannot participate in any money transactions. Other players can land on his properties without paying a trespassing fee.

The GGG-Man can also confiscate his property if the GGG-Man lands on a property with a Still Card. After following the directions of the court, the player must return to the Payoff space, spin the spinner, and continue. The player does not receive a payoff.

Section 15: Trespassing, Fines, Penalties, and Double Cross Hank: The amount of each property trespassing fee is on the back of each Property Card. To increase the amount of money in trespass fees the player must operate a still on their property. To maximize the amount in trespass fees a player must own Mr. Big or JB's Place, and operate a still simultaneously on one of the two said properties, and said still on the other properties the player owns.

If a player trespasses on another player's property and cannot pay the trespass fee in full, the player must surrender the remainder of their money and all that they own, property, stills, hat, and whiskey barrels if any to the owner. The player then loses the game. All payments from fines, penalties, and Double Cross Hank bribes are paid immediately in cash to the banker.

If a player cannot pay a fine, penalty, or Double Cross Hank the player loses the game, then their money, property, stills, and whiskey barrels go back to the Bank. Only the money received from fines, penalties, and Double Cross Hank bribes should be placed beneath the board, under the Payoff space, by the banker.

Section 16: Double Cross Hank: Is a dishonest criminal who will hijack your whiskey barrels and take your money. On one particular Double Cross Hank space, a player who lands on it must pay a $100 dollar bribe, as indicated, immediately. Once the player pays the bribe, the player must move backwards two spaces. Bribe payments and moving backward apply to the players, but never to the GGG-Man himself.

On another Double Cross Hank space, the player must hand over any whiskey barrels that he has to the banker, and continue on his next turn. Players do not go to jail, or turn in Still Cards from their properties to Double Cross Hank.

Section 17: Mr. Big and JB'S Place Properties: these are the most expensive properties on the board. Mr. Big and JB's Place represents the players choice, whether they are an honest Entrepreneur's or the dishonest Crime Boss' properties. These two properties make it possible for a player to incorporate all their properties, and receive more than double the trespass fee on all the other lesser valued properties purchased by the player. And a player can possibly take control of the board. Example: Cross Bone Brewery trespass fee without a still is $400 dollars, if you do not own Mr. Big orJB's Place, but if you do own Mr. Big or JB's Place, the trespass fee without a still is $1000 dollars. Mr. Big and JB's Place trespass fees do not increase like the other properties. Mr. Big and JB's Place properties only, the trespass fee remains the same $1000 without a still, and $2000 with a still on the properties.
