The Board
Colorado City, Arizona & Hildale, Utah
Warren Jeffs
The Objective: To obtain the most amount of Plural Wives, children, and property in order to receive salvation and have the rue over your own planet in the kingdom of heaven.
Plural marriage, is the Mormon brand of polygamy. In the 19th century the Principle was taught by leaders of (LDS Church) for more than half of the 19th century. In 1890 a manifesto terminating the practice was introduced to the Church. They decided that having option to super-size a coke and watch UFC bouts on pay-per-view collaborated well with the Mormon scripture.
Some Mormons felt that the practice of polygamy was essential to achieving salvation and in turn form the FDL Church. The FDLS resides in various splinter groups throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This board game in the story of one community of FDLS residing in Colorado City, Arizona and its sister city, Hildale, Utah.
There are 22 proprieties on the board. Eighteen properties are streets that are part of neighborhoods 2 or 3 streets long. As the player rolls the dice they are able to travel around the board. Players are given their government welfare checks broken down into cash before play begins. Cash is used to purchase any property built on the street. Once a player acquires a complete neighborhood, building churches can then begin. A player must purchase a church (green) first, once 3 churches are built on each street in the neighborhood they are able to trade in the churches for and purchase a compound (red).
Additional Property you can buy includes 4 important stops along the Mormon Trail. The original 1846-1847 Mormon Trail went from Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois through Iowa to Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska, up through Wyoming (Fort Laramie) ending in Salt Lake, becoming Salt Lake City, Utah. The length of the wagon trail from Nauvoo to Salt Lake City was about 1,300 mile. Giving the Mormons lots of road time to make up more shit to add in their bible.
Later the Mormon Trail coincided with other trails such as The Oregon Trail. Ultimately, everyone got sick of the Mormons, leaving them to make do with the Great Salt Lake Desert.
Need to Know
Under U.S. federal and state law the practice of polygamy is prohibited. In the instance that a man gets married, his wife will be recognized by the law, however, once he marries his spiritual wives, 2, 3, 4 etc. these women are not considered legal partners and do not receive tax credit. These women are often living on limited incomes mostly qualify and collect welfare from the state.
The Church is the recipient and giver of all cash, property, and buildings. The government issues each community member welfare funds, but in Colorado City, all monies are filtered first through the church. The church delves out to each player (1-500 bill 2-100 bills, 2-50 bills, 6 20 bills, 20-10 bills, 3-5 bills, and 10-1 bills). The ten dollar food stamp bills are collected each time you pass GO..
House Rules
Land or Pass Go – Take a drink, Collect a Ten dollars in food stamps, and collect one Plural Wife from the deck.
The YFZ Temple is a free spot for every player. All monies and food stamps collected from players throughout the game in the middle and should a player land on the space, that player is awarded all the proceeds.
Jail- Stop by, pay Warren Jeffs a visit, conjugal visits prohibited. He’ll be there a long time so you end up in jail beside him, the prophet expects a hand job.
Ways to end up in Jail, if you roll 3 doubles in a row this tells the church that you are not reading you daily passage in the Book of Mormon and you must go to jail.
Children: Each player is given a kids card. This is how you keep track of your children. One strategy of winning Mormonopoly is to be the first to fill up the entire card. If a player rolls the dye and gets doubles the player rolls the dye a second time and whatever the result is, the player gets that many children. Mark of by making a check mark in each individual space.
Chance and Community Chess: These cards rest on the golden tablets. Land on one of the 4 places, pick a card, read it, and follow the directions.
You know what? I ran out of time trying to write these directions, so it there is a question about the rules of play, just make it up on the spot-just like when I’m in a job interview and the interviewer asks me about my experience, I just make that shit up!
