The game of music industry backstabbing and rock star excess (that's the idea anyway).

What you'll need:

    A watch with a seconds hand
    A pencil
    Some heroin (just kidding!)


I have the rules sketched out so far but the game is this. Each player is a rock star (pick your music type). Each turn consists of telling in one minute (that's what the watch is for) what happened at one show during their tour. The *next* player must equal the tale or lose one fan per 'thing' they did less than the show that preceeded them. While adding one 'thing' steals a fan from the preceeding act.

I have to work out the 'things'.

Part of the fun I thought might be playing the type of music that you (the rock star) performs while telling about your show.

Meanwhile the other players can subvert you with palimony lawsuits, drug busts, bodyguards carrying illicit firearms, underage groupies, etc.

A complete round of the table (all the players) constitutes one tour. The first rock star to accumulate triple his (or her) nearest opponent wins.

I can imagine this being a blast to play while drinking, talking sh*t about how rad you are and playing loud music.
