OK I had initially planned for this game to be able to run 100% staff free if needed but the best we could do, for now, is minimal staff involvement.  The game is actually set on 2 18x18 house plots and resembles a board game.  It is a boat race (and if all goes well will be changed every few month to accommodate the seasons and holidays) where players roll dice and move their boats across the board using a deco tool. 

Now you may be asking "Deco tool? Don't we only use that for moving things around our houses?" and I would say Yes, normally it is.  In order to play the game a member of staff has to be informed that a group wishes to play and said staffer will then temporarily add the players to the co-owner list of the houses.  By doing this you can then use the deco tool to move your boat across the board.  This game runs on the HONOR SYSTEM.  If ANY locked down items come up missing the game will be shut down and the player found thieving will likely be banned.

The rules are simple and to save time I have added a book on the board with all the rules.  When you are finished and a staff member did not host the game let that staff member know you are done so they can clear the co-owner list for the next group.

I hope everyone enjoys the game and please give staff a few days to get the hang of it as well to keep everything running smooth.

Great game, but if I could add a suggestion, you should make the rules about the movement a little more clear, it lead to some confusing (perhaps it was just me who was confused)

The thing is, the river is always two tiles wide, making it easy to assume that you can move wherever you want and however you want as long as you stay on water. Yet I was told that I always had to follow either the Southern or Eastern walls. I got confused a little further, since if I had to stick to the Southern edge, that would lead me to a West edge, so that was an exception where I actually had to cut through without sticking to the South edge, in order to move to the East one.

I mean yea, maybe I am the only who got quite confused by that, but perhaps if you could make that clear in the book that would be great :) Thanks for the game tho, it is truly enjoyable :)
