Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.
cost: I cannot find a copy for sale in the U.S. - but it's worth searching out!
About every 10th game of Nur Peanuts (which loosely translates as "Chump Change") flops (for no discernible reason) but the other 9 have enough pathos, risk-taking, hooting, hollering & general euphoria to make up for that. It's Monopoly reduced to the most basic element - cash & dice... and it's probably one of the best 6 player push-your-luck games out there.In our group, the cry "Trip around the board!" - first heard while playing this game - has become our short hand for "spending crazy money on the vain hope of a lucky payoff." BTW, that pretty much sums up the joy of this wonderful off-beat game.It also, according to Stven Carlberg, could potentially never end - but he's never seen that happen. :-)
