The different properties could be things like The Heavenly/The Pup Parlor/Slamming Dave's, the mall/St. Mary's/the school, Grams's/Hudson's porch/Marissa's, with the railroads being Sassypants Station/the police station/the bus station/the old railroad station. The cards could be things like "Officer Borsch catches you jaywalking; go directly to the principal's office" or "You crash your skateboard into a parked car; pay $50." And of course things like "You solved another mystery; collect $500 as your reward."<br /><br />I actually don't even like Monopoly (which is why I can't think of all the parts to the game), but SK Monopoly could be fun.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-62802222662111045392013-04-19T20:10:35.735-07:002013-04-19T20:10:35.735-07:00Oh god, i forgot too, Happy Birthday to your son! ...Oh god, i forgot too, Happy Birthday to your son! <br />Yusa: That be cool, it's like: Your walking down the gameboard isle and you see "Clue: Sammy Keyes Version!"

Billy in the chicken hat with all those mirrors cracked me up, because I imagine him clucking around and eyeing all the chicken-Billy reflections distrustfully, like, What are all you interlopers doing here? (when they don't stop eyeing him back) Oh, so you want to start something, eh?<br /><br />RowAn, I remember the cod! Bella, I like Billy with drumsticks, because they could be meat (like the bucket o' bones), ice cream, or the percussive instrument thing!<br /><br />I want to call out my favorites here, but there are way. too. many! (Marissa in Vegas with bicycle handlebars! Lady Lana on the roof of the mall with a dumpster! No, don't get me started!) I had forgotten about Sammy in the bookstore with the toaster!<br /><br />From the books, we <i>cannot</i> leave out Sammy! In Phony Forest! With the drool!<br /><br />And how about:<br /> - Grams! In the alley! With the red high-tops!<br /> - The Amblers! At the school dance! With the tango!<br /> - Lana! At Big Daddy's! With a pickle!<br /> - Billy! In the room with his steaming-mad dad!

I can't wait to see Sammy & Co.'s repurposing of Clue! (And find out who "& Co." includes!)<br /><br />I came up with all the cards for a new Clue game, but I went the "Sammy & Friends" + "most possible laughs" route, so it doesn't really sound like a murder mystery anymore.<br /><br />People: Sammy - Holly - Dot - Casey - Billy - Marissa<br /><br />Weapons: the rubber sword - the broad side of a fish - the chicken hat - the cookie stash - the loaded paintbrush - sarcasm<br /><br />Places: drama class - the farmers' market - the Heavenly Hotel staircase - the high school ball fields - Hudson's porch - the Land of Blue - the library - the lunchroom - Sassypants Station<br /><br />(With shortcuts (this really is the perfect game for Sammy!) between Hudson's porch and the library, and between the high school ball fields and the Land of Blue. And with drama class and the lunchroom taking the place of the billiard room and the library in the regular Clue game, which have that little three-space path between their side doors.)<br /><br />Some of my favorite solutions are:<br />- Dot! In the library! With the broad side of a fish!<br />- Marissa! At the high school ball fields! With the cookie stash! (Is she hiding it? Pitching with it? How many people would strike out just so they could eat the cookies?)<br />- Holly! In the Heavenly Hotel staircase! With the loaded paintbrush!<br />- Sammy! At the farmers' market! With sarcasm!<br />- Billy! In the Heavenly Hotel staircase! With the chicken hat!<br />- Casey! In the Heavenly Hotel staircase! With the rubber sword!<br />(I'm having a lot of fun with those mirrors, okay.)<br />- Anyone! In the lunchroom! With the rubber sword! (Possibly on top of a table, but a rubber sword fight dodging through the crowded tables would be funny, too!)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098482630516206836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-11125211144629110392013-04-15T19:06:06.985-07:002013-04-15T19:06:06.985-07:00haha Jessica she came to my old school before i we...haha Jessica she came to my old school before i went there and so i would help my libararian out and she would discard old books or replace them and so i looked in some old copies of How I Survived Being A Girl and some Sammy Keyes books and there were your signature in a bunch of them to someone else so i think they were donated and since i may have gotten some i now have signed books to like some people named Parker and stuff but its cool haha how that happened :)Yusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-24466839850082698182013-04-15T18:37:37.583-07:002013-04-15T18:37:37.583-07:00I hope you weren't traveling to Boston today, ...I hope you weren't traveling to Boston today, Wendelin.
