Flex-o-Grade

I'm thinking of approaching Parker Bros. or a similar outfit with an idea for a new board game.
Based on a pre game roll of the dice, each player starts out with an ANACS or NCI paper certificate for a common date MS-63 Peace dollar. The winner is the first person who can end up with their "coin" in a MS-70 PCGS holder. Like chess, it can take minutes or days to complete a game. Unlike certain other games, nobody goes to jail.

If you like the concept and would care to offer any free technical assistance it would be appreciated.

    If I can't send somebody to jail or remove their body parts, I won't buy it.

    That's what we have PCGS for!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Have the players move around the board like in Monopoly or LIFE. You can place generic "Move Ahead 3 Spaces" and the like between penalty and reward spaces. Penalties include body bags (altered surfaces, artificial toning, cleaning, etc.) and some are "Lost in the Mail," "Misplaced in PCGS office," and "Accidentally Fingerprinted by PCGS Employee, Send to NCS and pay $25." The only reward I can think of is "Free Quarterly Submission."

  • Would biting off your tongue when the the thing is all the way up to 68 and when going for the 9 it comes back in a body bag?
  • Maybe if you land on a certain square you must become a dealer. That would be an interesting form of punishment.

    Isn't sleazy dealer one of those oxy whatevers?

    Actually, I think this would be a redundancy.

    If you were thinking oxymoron, that's a combination of contradictory words like "war for peace." Or, perhaps in this case, "honest dealer".

    This in no way represents my opinions about coin dealers in general. I'm just trying to read minds.
