RMPM pbem-game From: siegrist@elde1.epfl.ch Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1993 18:21:21 +0000 Game: Rich Man / Poor Man Duration: Open-ended Turns: One per week, breaks around major holidays, Status: about 20 players, no waiting, expansion ad lib. Description: Each player has 2 chips moving on a 25x25 board. If you land on another player's chip, you exchange some resources (usually good for the aggressor). If the square is unowned, the agressor may buy it. Invent a business that helps others play the game, sell your product, become rich. Each week, richest player gets bragging rights. Remarks: The GM provides the playing field, basic movement, and suggestions. Players create businesses that expand on the capabilities of other players. Items which make you a more potent aggressor, defensive items, or items which allow you to move in new and interesting ways can be bought. Lotteries and treasure hunts are organized. Time requirement: 1 to 2 h per week. GM: Siegrist@elde.epfl.ch Up
