NEWCASTLE STUFF – in conjunction with reader Nicola Stoddart – is pleased to announce the release of Charvopoly, a game for two or more radgies.
The object is simple: to go around the board buying up properties, while avoiding such pitfalls as being sent to Sunderland.
The winner is awarded the handsomely mounted Greggs Pasty, pictured on the left.
Players choose one of the exquisitely-crafted pieces below, and then throw a double number to set off from the Benefits Agency, with your first £67.
Advancing around the board, you are able to acquire places such as Elizabeth Arden Lane, Sovereign Street or Charverville, depending on the amount of lowey you have managed to stash.
On your journey, you will sometimes encounter the dreaded ‘botha’ cards.
These mean a penalty: “Too wasted to go anywhere – roll a six”, “Too windy to go out with your lacquered fringe – miss a go” and “Giro didn’t arrive last week – replace the £20 you borrowed from the bairn’s money-box”; are some of punishments in store.
This superb game provides endless entertainment – and is an excellent educational tool.
Your children will soon be cheating and thieving like the rest of the family, and there’s the added opportunity to practice fighting skills at the end of each game.
Charvopoly is not available in the shops (it would only get nicked), so contact Newcastle Stuff for more details.
Price will be determined according to demand.
