I have only ever played Hobo once, but it left such an impact on me that I remember every detail.
Here are the rules of Hobo-
What you will need-
A room of at least 80 square feet
At least 2 checkerboards
At least 2 couches/beds
At least 2 boxes (of any type)
A bunch of random junk you can find around your house (chess pieces, pillows, books, etc. )
The ugliest hat you can find
At least 5 players, One of which MUST be named Thomas. No more, no less. If more than one person named Thomas want to play, the rest of them have to go by Tom until the game ends.
How to Play-
The person name Thomas has to put on the ugliest hat that you can find. He is The Hobo. He will divide the players into at least two teams of even amount. If their is an odd player out, he will become the Hobo's servant.
The Hobo will give each team the following things-
-One Couch/Bed
-One Checkerboard
-One Box
-A bunch of junk that you gathered.
The Hobo does not need to give each team equal amounts of Junk. He can be as biased as he wants, after all, he is the Hobo.
The players must use what they are given and random junk around the room to create a currency. The currency they create has to be viable enough to be used in the current economy. With the currency they create, they have to convince the Hobo that their currency is legitimate and Make the Hobo a millionaire.
The Hobo doesn't need to agree to any currency that is created. He can pick whatever he wants.
Teams can sabotage other teams and take their junk, but if they get two hand touched (or tackled if you're playing Tackle Hobo) they have to go back to their couch and they cannot try to sabotage the other team unless the Hobo says they can. The couch is the Base of the teams. Teams cannot move their couch unless the Hobo says they can.
This is the best game I have ever played. You NEED to play it. Now. If you don't, I will find you.
