Setting Up the Board


Setting up the obstacle course (board)
1.             Choose a variety of different sized objects that are capable of supporting multiple people.  (Chairs, 5 gallon buckets, end tables, stools, welcome mats, all make good spaces.)  These objects are going to become spaces that players must advance through during the game.  If a player falls off of their space and touches on the floor (lava), they must return to the beginning position of that zone.
2.      The obstacle course is arranged as a continuous loop.  The space that you start at will also be the space you must reach before attempting to reach the castle (winning location where a shot of your favorite spirit awaits).
a.      Split the course into four zones with equal amounts of spaces.
b.      Number the spaces in each zone.  Some spaces can be special spaces.
3.                   The castle (winning location) must be accessible from all four zones with an equal amount of spaces to get there.  Use a different color or label for these spaces so contestants do not get them confused with the obstacle course.  We use a long throw rug and make it one large extra space.
4.      Place arrows or numbers on each space so contestants do not get confused about what is or is not part of the board.
5.                     Beer/Wine is to be placed at the beginning space of each zone.  Contestants that need to refill, must advance through their zone in reverse to get a beverage and then can return to their previous space.  If they cannot access the beverage because of other players occupying a small space, they cannot move forward, but can wait until that player moves from that space.  You must have a beverage to move forward.
6.                     Garbage cans are to be placed in the center of each zone.  After consuming a beverage, the can or container must be shot from that space into the can.  If you make it in, move two spaces forward.  If you miss, move one space back.
Below is a rough diagram of what a Random Jim True American Game Board should resemble.
