Food for thought

 

While  researching board games on Ebay, I found a Simpsons board game called "Mystery of Life." It was complete except for the instructions. I may infact purchase it since I'm a huge fan of the show. However, this left me thinking would I ever be able to play the game?

I know I've mentioned several times that Monopoly instructions are available for download, free online. But what if I purchased one of these version with non-traditional game play used and didn't have or couln't find instructions. Would I be able to play, can you reverse engineer a game and game play?

My main realization here is would you be able to play Monopoly, if it was your first exposure and no instructions available. I'm currently looking for a population of newbies for a blog focus group. Please comment below if you've never played Monopoly and would be intrested in participating in my focus group.
