Personally, I think the game of chess is difficult enough without having to draw the board before playing. That, and the fact that your chess pieces would be difficult to use after only a few games make this idea a little to impractical. Still, I have no doubt that Chalk Chess will become an actual product sometime soon, but it appears to be in the pre-production stage at the moment, so the price has yet to be determined.

“Don’t Drop the Soap” as a board game is funny enough, the fact that is was developed and is being sold by the son of the Governor of Kansas and her husband who is a US Magistrate Judge is just hilarious.

The whole point is to fight your way out of six different locations for the chance to get out on parole. That is if you can avoid prison riots and being cornered in the shower, slip some glass into the mob bosses lasagna and don’t smoke your whole stash in the hole. It actually sounds more realistic and fun than a game of Risk.

Oil, money and terrorists. See how well you can handle these world wide issues as you play War on Terror: The Board Game. Fight terrorism when it hinders your success, or fund it when you want to play a little dirty. If your player doesn’t survive you can continue to play as a terrorist. Almost sounds a little too close to the truth, doesn’t it?

If you love the game of Monopoly but are tired of buying property and railroads, try this Cat Lover’s version of Monopoly. Instead of property you can purchase different breeds of cats. And instead of cars and hats as player tokens, you can use a milk carton, toy mouse, cat in a basket, cat with scratching post, can of tuna and a bird. It may not be ideal for a frat house, but it should be just the ticket for game night with the kids.
