Lincoln: The Game

By: Mr. T on December 14, 2005
I was pleased to see Lincoln On Board this evening while grocery shopping at Russ's on Washington and 17th. Lincoln On Board is based on the "Monopoly" game, where you can buy property, accrue wealth, etc.. Predictably, the 3 food establishments you could buy were Runza, Valentino's and Lazlo's. The list of sponsors (who appear on the real estate) is available at Leadership Lincoln's site. Example, "you ran out of gas, go to U-Stop" etc. I was surprised to see that, if memory serves me - the University of Nebraska was "for sale" as well. Perhaps a subconscious nod to the Dave Hergert debacle? In anycase, although I'm a bit old for these sorts of games, it may make for a nice gift for any City of Lincoln fanatics out there (Mr. Wilson, etc.). It is also noted that proceeds go to Leadership Lincoln, an organization I am somewhat familiar with that does good things, particularly in their youth programs. And no, I am not a member or alumni of Leadership Lincoln.

Sweet! Put that on my wish list. I assume there aren’t any spaces for things like Sunken Gardens, the Folsom Children’s Zoo, and Pioneers Park? That’s too bad. It still makes a nice conversation piece, though, and it’s a fun fund-raising idea.
