While playing this game with several friends I decided to go all out and print the game board out on 30x30 vinyl and even make jolly rancher vodka to represent pokemon elements. This was such a fun game I have no doubt ill be using it again and again in the future. But even though it was fun it did have frustrating bits where chance of rolling numbers would "kill" you... but even in the game sense it makes sense of why it is like it is. For instance when your on the home stretch you come across 4 gold spaces... and each one is tough, and I got stuck on each one, (especially frustrating when I had earlier luck and had gotten a sizable lead) one tile in particular is tough where you have to roll a 4 to move on or else you drink 4. Also as I was playing I noticed that there was lack of rules in some areas like one space you could create your own rule but making your own rule could be catastrophic as one of the players made another player drink every time they drank... Easily enough the copy drinker got a bit tipsy that night. So if I was to change something I would maybe edit something where there were certain time limits to some drinks. Again I would like to say this is an incredibly social game, its best to play with people you trust because it makes for a more comfortable atmosphere when everyone drinks instead of some feud between two people that escalates in a drinking war. If I were to learn something from this game, it is that alcohol and games go well together to create a strong social environment of all around fun and I also feel that if this was in another format aside from board game that it would not work as well. All in all a fun game to play with friends!

First off I feel like its needed to say, that this is a game where you will drink. And if you play strictly by the rules you will become under the influence of Alcohol. With that said, this game is one of the funnest things you can do with your friends. http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1191/gottachugemall.png This is the board game I am using and the gameplay to it is simple enough. You have however number of people you want to play choose a starting pokemon of Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur which influences trainer battles (which I will get to later). Then After determining who goes first, you go around the board by rolling a die and then under the rules of the game, have to do what the space you land on says. This is where the game gets innovative, as it uses a multitude of pokemon and has little quirks associated to each one, like the slowpoke board space for instance: If you land on slowpoke you then get to do a gesture that through out the game you can do any time and the last person to do that gesture will have to take a drink. Another element that makes this game interesting is the fact that there are three different types of board tiles. The first type is normal tiles (like the slowpoke tile) The second type are silver tiles which have a special set of rules that go along with them depending on where you are like one such rule is that while you are on one certain set of silver you can not talk or you have to drink for every time you talk. The last one is the Gold Tiles where no matter what you roll you must stop on them every time and go in some sort of special chance rules ranging from "roll a 1-3 to take a drink or 4-6 and skip your turn" to "roll a die, if its even roll again, if its odd take a drink for how many evens you rolled". Another cool element to this game is the trainer battles, because this adds another social element to this game depending on the more friends you have playing. The trainer battles are simply if you have 2 players land on the same tile you must do what the tiles says then have a trainer battle by rolling dice and who ever gets the higher wins and loser drinks 2, but with a little added on fun, the starting pokemon that you choose have advantages over one another so if you get an advantage you get to roll 2 dice and pick the higher number to win.
