I f you have a look at the original Monopoly board game design, it’s remarkably similar to the modern Hasbro version. The reason that’s so amazing is that Monopoly is 82 years old, and has been locally licensed in more than 103 countries across the world. Turns out anti-monopolist and inventor of the game Elizabeth Magie was onto something. While we don’t anticipate that our Cal Jam ’17 board game might enjoy quite as long a life, creating it was definitely a lesson; it’s actually pretty easy to send your players into an endless “go back 3

spaces – go forward 3 spaces” loop if you don’t pay attention to the mechanics. Luckily Our Patto is a gun, and cooked up the delightful double-page board – based on the actual Cal Jam '17 site map – which you can find deeper into the section. We even had our cover artists and Cal Jam hosts the Foo Fighters play it themselves; check stack.com.au for the video, and be sure to read the review for the band’s new album Concrete And Gold on page 46, because I swear to Mr. Murphy it is a belter.
