You don't go to jail, you get thrown Off the Bus.
And you don't buy Marvin Gardens, you buy Terrapin Station.
It's a concept no one could have dreamed of in the late '60s": Grateful Dead-Opoly.
It will be the board game of choice for the Deadhead in the family this holiday season. It was created for Discovery Bay Games by music industry veteran and longtime Grateful Dead associate Debbie Gold, with artwork by comic book illustrator Timothy Truman. Bob Weir, founding member of the Grateful Dead, and legendary roadie Steve Parish also contributed.
The game play is a tour with the band, with tokens that include a guitar, drum, amp, a tour bus and Bob Weir's dog, Otis, and the properties are Dead albums.
Sounds like a nice low-tech alternative to Beatles Rock Band, something boomers can actually play!
