If you have a look at the original Monopoly board game
design, it’s remarkably similar to the modern Hasbro version.
The reason that’s so amazing is that Monopoly is 82 years
old, and has been locally licensed in more than 103 countries
across the world. Turns out anti-monopolist and inventor of the
game Elizabeth Magie was onto something. While we don’t
anticipate that our Cal Jam ’17 board game might enjoy quite
as long a life, creating it was definitely a lesson; it’s actually
pretty easy to send your players into an endless “go back 3
spaces – go forward 3 spaces” loop if you don’t pay attention
to the mechanics. Luckily Our Patto is a gun, and cooked up
the delightful double-page board – based on the actual Cal Jam
'17 site map – which you can find deeper into the section. We
even had our cover artists and Cal Jam hosts the Foo Fighters
play it themselves; check for the video, and be
sure to read the review for the band’s new album Concrete
And Gold on page 46, because I swear to Mr. Murphy it is a
belter. Zoë Radas (Music Editor)
