Here are all the instructions from the first playing of The Land of Parcheesopoly at Northern Spark in June of 2013, in the random order in which I remembered and gathered them from photos, with some fun links to photos and videos taken by me and others playing. It was interesting to see the difference between this board game co-creation in the middle of the night (which got a little baudy), vs. the much more family-friendly vibe that the daytime events received. The Northern Spark game stretched all the way down the full city block and looped back on itself, plus the additional shorter, sheltered route under the skyway, and we very nearly ran out of chalk. It started to rain at 2am and washed away most of it, but we had a great run of it before then!
