Remember all those great board games that we used to play in the days before Nintendo and x-box? Anyway after a chance conversation with a poor flower girl yesterday I got to thinking about these games and how they would bring some of them up to date - new weaponry for Cluedo (Mister Squeaky's contribution being the addition of a pump-action shotgun because he can't spell either Glock or Sig-Sauer) and changes to the chance and community chest cards in monopoly "Get caught driving in the bus lane pay £2,000,000 to the Mayor of London or Go Directly To Jail" and "You have won Big Brother collect £5 and become a pig-faced waste of blood and organs*"
Then of course there Risk, updated to include NBC warfare and rogue states which don't die no matter how many megatons of bombs you drop on them....
