How do I win the game? Let’s start with how you lose the game. If you run out of toilet paper (the currency), or collect ten exposure points, then you are a “menace to society.” You can’t win once you are a menace to society. Instead your job is just to spread chaos and prevent the other players from reaching “home quarantine”. For all of the other players, Phase 2 begins when the first player becomes a menace. You have to make it back to home quarantine (don’t go over ten exposure points or run out of toilet paper) with the most toilet paper – that’s how to win.

What are these black and white scan code looking things on the cards (QR Codes)? We use QR codes on the cards to make some of the content dynamic. Maybe it’s a good idea, maybe not. To use these cards just take out your phone, open your camera and point the camera at the code. A link will appear and you can just click it which will take you to the relevant web page. If you don’t have this technology or connection issues, you can actually use your own brain and think something up yourself. Or just skip the card. Up to you. 

What are lavatories and how can I upgrade them? The lavatories are little pieces of property that you can own. When other players land on the lavatories, they pay you toilet paper, but you as the owner collect an exposure point each time you collect toilet paper. 

What are the three different piles of cards? The three different piles are Federal Stockpile, depicted by a dumpster fire (we aren’t sure why), Exposure, and Virtual Reality. Virtual reality has just mini-games. Federal stockpile contains rewards, penalties, and mini-games. Exposure contains mini-games, rewards, penalties, and cards that teleport you to different areas of the board. 

What happens when I land on Month or Government Check? Normally you collect 200 TP squares when you pass the Month. But if you land on it, you get an extra 200 TP squares. You also get to draw a card of your choice for passing the Month. When you land on the Government Check, you also collect 200 TP Squares. 

What is sneaking in? Sneaking in allows you to land on a lavatory owned by another player without paying them the TP owed. To “sneak in”, you roll a single die. If you get a 1 or a 2, you sneak in and don’t pay anything. But anything else means you collect three exposure points, although you don’t have to pay TP. But if you reach ten exposure points while trying to sneak in, you still have to turn over your entire toilet paper stash to the other player. 

What is a menace to society? A menace to society is someone who just makes really poor choices which has led to them collecting ten exposure points. They might not have taken warnings into consideration; they might make poor decisions that put other players at risk, or maybe they just innocently didn’t have toilet paper and they took a bath after pooping which is just a bad idea, opposed to showering after pooping. 

What changes during Phase 2? This is the end sequence of the game that is triggered when you get the first menace. Everyone returns to the Go to Quarantine space and the roll order is preserved. You then can move backward or forward (you don’t have to pay anything additional when going backward). You pay wiping fees like normal and you can draw cards like normal. Even the menace can use TP to buy draw cards, but the menace doesn’t pay fees to others. It’s a menace afterall. When the Menace passes you, you collect an exposure point. When the Menace lands on you, you collect three exposure points. (But when you pass the menace, you don’t pay TP, but if you land on the Menace, you do). Maybe somewhat complicated but worth it, and if you don’t like it, use your own rule Pal. 

What happens in Home Quarantine? Home Quarantine is nice-cute-safe place, because for each turn you spend there, you remove an exposure point. If you roll doubles, you leave. And on your third roll, doubles or not, you leave. 

Do I have to drink alcohol? Whoa there Buster, who ever said anything about alcohol? Many people are simply dehydrated, thus players can drink whatever they want. If they choose alcohol, then so be it. Our goal is to ensure people all over the world stay hydrated in  a world where water is quickly becoming a scarce resource. 

Do all dogs go to heaven? This is a tough one. To get to that question, we have first have to deal with the question as to whether heaven exists, which is simply outside of the scope of this game. But we don’t like cliffhangers, so for sake of argument, yes, all dogs do go to heaven.

Where should I go on vacation? So this is a somewhat biased answer coming from us but Vernon Center, Minnesota is a nice quaint midwestern town with a lot of nice people. Unfortunately there aren’t any Airbnb’s there, but maybe somebody could start one. Vernon Center has so many awesome things. First, Charlie’s Hill: a worldwide renowned sledding hill that really gets the blood pumping. People from the neighboring metropolises of Garden City, Lake Crystal, Mapleton, Rapidan, Good Thunder, and maybe even Mankato are even known to frequent the undulating terrain during a well-deserved school closure. Additionally there are some tennis courts behind the old school (if the “school” is still there – we actually haven’t been there for a good decade). Also they had two really great pop machines on Route 169 – 50 cents for cans and $1 for bottles – as of approximately 2004. With all of that said, you are probably left with one looming question: who was Charlie from Charlie’s Hill?
