Parker Eruputs (sic) -- the Board Game

Well, I'd always wanted to make a MSG (Miss Super Girl) game. One day at Arbys, my mom and dad started joking about a game called "Parker Erupts". I thought it sounded great, so I took out some cardboard, a pencil, crayons, and a black marker, then I made some cards, and from a lost game, I took out some guys.

We played it a lot. Then my dad said, "Wanna put this game on the internet?" And I said, "Yes!" So, I guess this was great practice, and hopefully I'll make a MSG game someday.

Below is how you can play Parker Eruputs© too.

Open the cards document linked to below and print it. This document has all the playing cards. After printing it, cut each card out individually. For color, I colored the playing side of each card. On the Back of each card I put the Parker Erupts logo.

There are four each of numbers 1 through 3, and "Parker Erupts!" There are three each of 4 through 12.

For the players, you can use any household objects that fit conveniently on the game board. I suggest you use small coins, like a dime, penny, or nickle. So long as you can tell them apart. We used the game pieces from Clue&trade Jr.

How to Play

The game is easy to play, just follow these simple rules.

1. The game is designed for 1 to 4 players, but if you can keep track what square each player is on, then you can have as many player as you want
2. Start with the youngest player first, then go clockwise around the board for each player.
3. When it is a players turn, that player draws a card.
   • If the *card* has "Parker Erupts!", and you are not on a "Parker Erupts!" square, it counts as a zero. Do not move foward.
   • If the card has a number, move that player forward that many spaces and read the square. Only do what the first square you land on says. For instance, if you land on a square that says to move forward 3, move forward 3, but don't do what the new square says.
   • If the square you land on says "Stop!", you lose your next turn.
   • If the square you land on says "Parker Erupts!", you may not move forward until you draw a card that says "Parker Erupts!".
4. The winner is the first person to reach the end of the game.
5. It's that simple
6. For an extra challenge, you can make the move to the last space require an exact number.
