Anarchy, a great new game for the North

DURING the COVID-19 mania, I have decided to try to make some money from the state of affairs in my city, Townsville. I am designing a new board game which is a bit like Monopoly with a few changes. Its called Anarchy — it’s a game the whole family can play and with a roll of the dice you get to decide whose turn it is to get broken into and robbed tonight!

Like Monopoly, you have Community Chest cards, for getting funds to restore smashed-up fences, torn-up sporting fields and smashed traffic lights.

There’s no need for Get-out-of-jail-free cards: just like in Townsville, no one ever goes to jail. Chance cards are given out at every throw of the dice for everyone, just like in our courts, where every offender gets a second chance to rob and thieve.

There is no rules book to worry about: like Townsville’s justice system, you make them up as you go along. Every player starts with a Commodore or Falcon; if you roll a double you get to steal a Mercedes or BMW from the closest house.

Roll two doubles in a row and you get to go to the courthouse and get your free Macca’s vouchers and frozen cokes, and some spending money to help you get more break-and-enter tools from the Bunnings store in

Lawless Lane. The winner is the first person to do 10 laps in the wrong direction around the board and cause the most dollar-value carnage on their way.

I am holding off on the final design until after the state election just in case Labor wins and I need to add more home invasions and assaults and bashings, and increase victims’ car rego costs.
