    If it's Jamopoly, I'll buy it.  Monopoly is my favorite board game of all time so you're damn straight I'd buy a copy.  If it's another game, probably not.

    I wouldn't mind if I got a PJ-themed Monopoly set as a gift, but really I feel no need for this... It's just too cheezy or kitchy or whatever. I don't really like for my favorite rock bands to do stuff like that. There is something "sell-outy" about it. The less merch the better IMHO.

    Nothing screams sell-out like a themed monopoly and those funko pop figures.

    Board games are just boxes that collect dust on the top shelf of my closet.

    That’s cause you have to have friends to play them.

    Absolutely. Need a new monopoly game.  My kids and I still playing the Yankees one that includes  Mattingly and Guidry as coaches (which I guess is better than having one that includes them as players). 
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Who uses condoms anymore. I guess you can fill them with some homemade Pearl Jam. 💦💦

    Monopoly has rules? I thought everyone just made up their own ways to play. I would like some Funko POP editions of the band though. I have my 3 Guns N Roses members and Kurt Cobain. Bring on my Boom POP. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    A few years ago I designed a setlist based card game, meant to be played during pre-concert hangs. The core design seemed good but when it came time to playtest we were inbetween tours and I lost interest. I make video games for a living, and have been involved with some board game designs over the years, so know the requirements pretty well. If there's interest, I might resurrect it.

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel
