Ultra Rare Gay Monopoly game by Fire Island Games in 1983. This game is 99.99 % complete. Only thing missing is one of the lil round paper foil tokens. T should be 30 but only are 29 present. The 30th might be stuck somew between the money etc but I couldnt find it. All the other pieces are present and accounted for. The game looks unplayed. The money is as new as are all other pieces and the board is still nice and STIFF. (lol). The box has some normal shelf wear, a small tear on one corner and the back of box has some minor warpage from sitting on the shelf all these years. Nothing major at all and really an awesome find this is.Edition: GAY Monopoly "A Celebration of Gay Life!" Publisher: The Parker Sisters - Div.of Fire Island Games, Inc. - 1983 Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 50.7 cm The game: This is definately a very special and interesting game because it is brought and played with a lot of humor. In addition it is instructive because the Rules give a detailed explanation, like for example the why of Family Pride cards. The Rules are written with a great show of words. With real gay allusions who will not always be clear to everyone! About the banker for example is written: " …choose this person carefully. A good choise would be someone who watches Let's Make A Deal often or perhaps a player who frequents S&M slave auctions. If no one fits these descriptions, at least, get someone who occasionally buys his own drinks. If you are still without a candidate, just settle for anyone who enjoys deposits and withdrawals and who looks cute wearing nothing but a banker's visor. With this last one, make sure she keeps her hands out of the till. She is likely to have had so many sugardaddies that she will confuse her own cash with that of the Bank." The double-sided (naturally) black gameboard also has 40 spaces but they are situated in a circle. Go is "Stonewall Savings", the gay bank. On passing by you receive … $ 203! Jail is "Straight City", that is "Heteros-City". Slogan: "Home dull Home". Free Parking is Gay America and is a Space to Rest. On the 4th square (of the circle) you are returned to Straight City. T are 3 kinds of cards with corresponding spaces on the game board: Family Pride - Manipulation and Ollie's Sleaze Bag. The "leading character" is Ollie Gaytor, the alligator. The figures 6 and 9 and 69 occur remarkably often! Of course the game board is excessively provided with sketches of handsome and tough boys. The streets are famous gay places in a number of American cities and instead of train stations t are 4 famous disco's. From Stonewall Savings the fields are: Santa Monica Boulevard (L.A.) - Family Pride - Palm Springs (L.A.) - Ollie's Sleaze Bag - STUDIO ONE - South Broadway (Denver) - Main street (Dubuque) - Hard Assets Tax - Pike street (Seattle) - Straight City/Just Cruisin' By - Folsom street (San Fransisco)- Ollie's Sleaze Bag - Castro street (San Fransisco) - Russian River - TROCADERO TRANSFER - Clark street (Chicago) - Manipulation - Provincetown - Tremont street (Boston) - Gay America/Rest Place - Du Pont Circle (Washington D.C.) - Oscar's Wild Waterworks - Spruce street (Philadelphia) - Peachtree street (Atlanta) - BACKSTREET - Ft.Lauderdale - Biscayne Boulevard (Miami) - Ollie's Sleaze Bag - Key West - Immoral Morons/Go straight to Straight City - Cedar Springs Road (Dallas) - Hunky Power Company - Westheimer street (Houston) - Bourbon street (New Orleans) - THE SAINT - Ollie's Sleaze Bag - Christopher street (New York) - Luxury Tax en Fire Island. Instead of houses are Ollie's bars, 30 round carton discs (diam. 17 mm). Instead of hotels are 12 pewter bathhouses. The pewter tokens are: a hair dryer - leather cap - teddy bear- high heeled shoe - handcuffs and a jeep. The money consists of gay-$-notes with the text "In Gays we Trust", in the denominations: 1 (light pink)= Emperor Hadrian - 3 (dark pink)= President Ollie - 10 (light purple)= Julis Caesar - 20 (dark purple)=Czar Alexander - 50 (dark blue)= Fred... read more
