Just in case there isn’t another Democrat “debate” for a while, here’s something very similar to tide you over–the game of Schmo (http://www.craycraygames.com/?p=800).
Remco produced this game in 1959. How well I remember those commercials! “I’m a schmo, and that ain’t good…” The object of the game was to see how could be the biggest nincompoop, or schmo. Events within the game featured forgetting one’s pants, stepping into wet cement, and other schmo-like misadventures.
I expect I’ll be sitting in a doctor’s waiting room while you read this.
Schmo, anyone?
Never heard of this game.
It wasn’t one of Remco’s biggest hits.
I’ve never heard of this game either.
I think you missed 1959.
🙂
I begged my mom for this the christmas that year. It was the stupidist game, but the best advertising campaign!
Live and learn.
Kind of like Monopoly, except the achieving is in having dumb things happen to you. Well, that’s this schmo’s opinion on the matter. 🙂
I must disagree! Monopoly is a game rich in strategy and tactics.
The dice may go against you, but there’s still shrewd trading.
I realize that there’s no strategy to Schmo, but the board moves sort of remind me of Monopoly. Roll the dice, and see what sort of trouble you end up in.
