I am just finishing up my final projects for my masters classes. Usually when teachers say projects, they mean a huge paper. That was the case for my first class for which I wrote an 11 page paper, replete with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes I’m sure.
My second class, the teachers told us we could do a creative project, but no one has ever done one before in her class. Our choice was a creative project or a 20 page paper. The choice was clear. Plus the teacher all but double dog dared us to do a creative work.
So I made a board game about motivation. The object is to be the first one to move their teacher piece and their student piece from August to June. It involves a time machine for which you have to answer a motivation question correctly in order to skip half the year.
So that got me thinking about another list.
My Favorite Board Games
20 – Life – this is more like a bored game
19 – Scrabble – most overrated game in the history of the world… that might be an exaggeration.
18 – Trivial Pursuit – What group of people occupied Spain from 711 to 1492? The Moops.
17 – Checkers – King me
16 – Candyland – Extra points for the unique player movement situation
15 – Chinese Checkers
14 – Careers
13 – Chess
12 – Uncle Wiggly – Props for the sweet name
11 – Monopoly – I’m not sure if I’ve ever finished
10 – Clue – or Simpson’s Clue… Homer at the Bowl-a-rama with the poisoned doughnut
9 – Compatibility – John and Devin win by choosing the clown every time
8 – Mancala - I dominate my students at this game all the time. Silly kids.
7 – Sorry!
6 – The Farming Game – with Topinish Tom et. al.
5 – Backgammon – only this high because Matt worships this game
4 – Risk – Back in the good ol’ days, I’d dominate Brett, Chad and Justin when we played at the cabin
3 – Pirateer – The game of outrageous fortune
2 – Aggravation – Matt usually wins because he can roll a 6 on command
1 – Settlers of Catan – Good game, plus the bargaining aspect is a plus.
So… if anyone has a better name for my game than ‘motivopoly’ then let me hear it. And no suggestions with the word ‘nerd’ or any other derisive word in it… this is serious business.

Bubs, you clearly forgot the game "Jimanji". Plus, remember that horse racing game where the horses would race from one side of the board to the other, at least that's how we played it.
How about naming your game "Motiqueer"?
Bubs, you forgot Hero's Quest. I say you call your game "Nerdivation."
Time for the Platypi Bubs post
I would have already done Platypi Bubs had I not gone 0-3 last game. We did win by 18, and of course that is the most important thing.
Things we learned from the last platypi game:
1 - Christen is 'huge'.
2 - Not sliding into second base during a double play attempt results in your tail light being broken.
3 - Nobody likes the 15 run rule.
4 - John needs to bring a worked in mitt to the next game.
5 - Some people complain about sitting out no matter what.
6 - Bubs is the unluckiest person in the universe.
7 - Hat nazi will no longer be able to rip us off of time due to the new scoreboard.
