Homonopolis: The Most Gayotic Game
AU$800.00 Read MoreAdd to cartStef de Knegt; Alexander M. Kroner
Amsterdam: Studio Fab / Identity Games International, 1994.Dutch Gay Monopoloy adaptation. Differing form the American Gay Monopoly published in 1983 (and much better rated according to Board Game Geek). In Homonopolis players travel around a triangular board cruising the gay bars and venues of Amsterdam. Instead of building houses and hotels players purchase barkeepers and backrooms. Jail is replaced with an SM Cellar where instead of Just Visiting you are Just Peeping Through the Glory Holes. Everything you might expect . The rulebook and the board are bilingual in Dutch and English. At 138 pages the book goes well beyond explaining the game, delving into the gay history of the Netherlands as well as an extensive directory of services, illustrated throughout by photographs of gay Amsterdam in the 1990s and with advertisements for a colourful assortment of local gay businesses that sponsored the production of the game.
