Number of Players, and Game Setup
This game can be played by 2 players.
Place your Muses (1 of each), GAPA’s (1 of each), Mr. Green (one), and Hot Pink Bunnies (four) in your chosen space on your side of the game board, front facing you. Deal twenty-five pies, ten doughnuts, 1 2012 pie, and five J-Rock CD’s to each player. Collect and place on your side of the game board. Place all 20 Factoid Cards on the picture of Bo.
How to Play
Determine who starts the game by being the first one to answer a factoid card. Whoever wins, throws one of their pies at one of your characters. These are the characters strengths, and what happens when they are hit by a pie:
Kokopelli: Can throw a pie eight spaces in any direction. Can also throw one 2012 Pie. When attacked, catches the pie, and can either throw it back, or end the turn by placing it on a region. Moves similar to a Queen in chess.
Urania: Can throw a pie five spaces. Is able to see through the character’s back to who they are. When attacked, sees the pie coming in her telescope, and can challenge the opposing Urania to an astronomy duel. Whichever Urania loses is out of the game. Moves similar to a Rook in chess.
Pwt: Can throw a pie five spaces. If attacks a Craaw, he is out of the game. When attacked, catches the pie in her net, and can either throw it back, or end the turn by placing it on a region. Moves similar to a Knight in chess.
Feather: Cannot throw pies. Is able to plant doughnuts on regions, which makes them unable to claim. Affective for three turns. When attacked, waters the pie. (This does nothing, and Feather is out of the game.) Moves similar to a King in chess.
Craaw: Can throw pies three spaces. When attacked, flies over the pie. Duels opposing Craaw in a rhyming duel. Whichever Craaw loses is out of the game. Is automatically out if attacked by opposing Pwt. Moves similar to a Queen in chess.
Chad: Can throw pies three spaces. Is able to manufacture machines (which take one turn) to throw pies eight spaces. When attacked, hits the pie with wrench. (This does nothing, and Chad is out of the game. Moves similar to a Bishop in chess.
Aeiou: Cannot throw pies. Is able to enable Chad’s machines (which takes two turns). When attacked, educates the pie. (This does nothing, and Aeiou is out of the game. Moves similar to a Bishop in chess.
Mimi: Cannot throw pies. Mimi is an extra character. She is there to confuse the enemy. When attacked, makes friends with the pie. (This does nothing, and Mimi is out of the game.) Moves similar to a Knight in chess.
Bo: Cannot throw pies. Bo is a master at factoids. The pie does not affect Bo. Bo challenges the opposing Bo to a factoid duel, and whichever Bo loses is out of the game.) Moves similar to a King in chess.
GAPA’s: Can throw a pies three spaces. The GAPA’s are not affected by the pie. The GAPA can either throw the pie back, or place the pie on a region. Moves similar to a Rook in chess.
Hot Pink Bunny: Can throw a pie all eight spaces. The bunny eats the pie, causing the one of the opposing bunnies to be out of the game. Moves similar to a Queen in chess.
Mr. Green: Cannot throw pies. Mr. Green smiles at the pie. (This does nothing, and Mr. Green is out of the game.) Moves similar to a Bishop in chess.
Each Muse, GAPA, and Emoticon moves spaces toward the enemy, throwing pies, and placing pies on regions to take them over. The enemy cannot step on spaces with a pie. The enemy cannot step on spaces with a doughnut either, but for just three turns.
J-Rock CDs have two sides, one that looks like a CD, and one that looks like a pie. They are there to confuse the enemy. The enemy may turn over pies if they are on an adjacent space to see if they are a CD, but if they aren’t, that character is out of the game. If it is, they may claim that space.
In duels, the challenging player picks a factoid/astronomy card. The factoid or astronomy question must be answered within thirty seconds, and the first noun of the factoid card must by rhymed in thirty seconds.
The 2012 pie spells instant death to whoever it hits. That character is then out of the game. There are only one of these per player.
When pies miss their target, have no effect, or are eaten, they are then awarded to the player who’s character has been missed.
Regions consist of time zones. There are 24. Each time zone with a pie on it gives ten points to the captor.
The game is won when one player has captured 13 of the time zones (or has 130 points). Also when all characters of the other player is out of the game.
Factoid Cards
There are four kinds of Factoid Cards.
Regular Factoid Cards: These cards contain trivia questions with answers on the back. Bo uses these in a duel. They are also used as rhyme cards, when Craaw duels. The players must guess first the answer to the question (or rhyme the first noun) in thirty seconds. This is counted by the turning of the sand timer.
Astronomy Cards: These cards contain trivia questions about astronomy. Urania uses these in a duel. The players must guess first the answer to the question in thirty seconds. This is counted by the turning of the sand timer.
Brilliant.
First post! You did send it in!
D’oh!
Oh wow. This makes my brain hurt.
But it’s very good.
Wait! According to recent comments, that was a first post! Curse (neccesary) moderation!
Awesome!
What does the board look like?
Whoa. Nawsome!
Woooaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!! If only I lived near another MBer.
6-The board has eighteen spaces in width (facing the players) and eight spaces in length. The board has pictures of all nine muses, hot pink bunnies, and Mr. Greens. There is a map of Earth in the middle, and contains all 24 time zones.
sweeet! you should sell those at the mostly harmless store
A-mazing.
Though I think you have too much time on your hands.
Cool!
11-It only took about half an hour…. and yes, I have waayy too much time on my hands, but that’s why I’m HERE, isn’t it?
Okay, I’m making a three-sided board and playing this with penguini and Potato Chip at my birthday party. (No, neither of you get a choice whether or not to play it.)
14-lol
Inspired, I am going to make a Muse board game as well.
Lovely idea. Wish I had thought of it myself.
if someone make a bourd, could they send it in to the Gapas?
(18) Do you mean email or snail mail?
*thinks about making a board* that would be fun… but i have lots and lots and lots of homework. *cries*
19-they would scan it, and send it.
14 – Will you send in pictures if you ever play it?
Cool! I am so making that! Although there would be no one to play with.
Mine will be based on Ships’ Logs.
AWESOMELY AWSOME!!I’m gonna try to make a gameboard later, I already made one for a nerdy history assignment. The real problem would be drawing the characters because I don’t know what Rossane looks like, I can’t draw Feather or Aeiou or Bo, and I don’t HAVE a thirty second timer. But if I do I’ll send in piczurz.
That. is. most. awesome.
but what is J-Rock?
(please don’t hurt me.)
Japanese rock. Any j-music is that genre from japan, i.e. j-pop, j-rap, j-rock.
There are some problems. How do you destroy pwt? Why is what mimi does needed? Mimi should maybe have two lives or sommat. What is bo good for other than destroying the other bo? she can do nothing after that. And you should still have MRgreen, he just just do something besides… nothing,

30 – That sounds a teense like MuseBlog chess, but it’s a good layout all the same.
30-thats awsome
heh. that is cool. both of them.
Does anybody remember the chess article contest?
31- Because I ran out of Muses and I didn’t want to use Editors.
30- i can see you like Hitch hikers Guide to the galaxy.
36- so do I.
36-Who dosn’t??
l’ve read all five books.
Me too!!
upp.
Even more complicated than Myst! But still cool.
39- Seriously, is there anyone here who hasn’t?
Yes. C++DM has only seen the movie.
44- wtich one? the Disney or BBC?
l don’t know, but l assume Disney.
46- Ahh. then he has only seen the WOMBAT one.
45-I think I saw the BBC one. But I’m not sure. The one I saw was really good, though. I don’t think it was a WOMBAT at all.
48- did it have the Restraunt at the end of the univearse? or did it end with a bad joke weare the robot said “thre other end of the universe”?
omg, your bad spelling is getting worse [no offense meant, i just like demeanig my peers in amicable fashions]
50- I was in a hurry.
49-The Resteraunt.
52- you saw the BBC.
53-Nawww, really?
54- upp.
I saw the BBC. Bad special effects, but hey, it was a long time ago. And it preserved most of Adams’s plot and humor (which Disney didn’t.) So I think it was the better one, even though I only saw the trailer for the Disney one.
56- the disney one KILLED the book. KILLED, do you hear??? KILL!
Murder! Bwahahaha! Muuurrrdddeeerrr!
This thread is dead. Comment 58 killed it!
Red-tailed HAWK
I…what did I do? I killed my own thread! I shall die! DDIIEE! *dies*
They should actually make it.
A Mostly Harmless Board Game? I believe I may make one as well, if that’s OK with Beavo.
It looks fun, but I don’t know if you should encourage that 2012 foolishness by having the 2012 pies be instant death.
This game is absolutely WONDERFUL!
61-They? I drew up plans for the gameboard but they got lost.
62-Help yourself, I haven’t got enough time/patiance/mad skillz to make a gameboard myself.
63-Foolishness? Bull.
Coolio. I need to remember this thread.
66- This thread is, a, sorry to say, dead, nobody really posts on here anymore…
Ok, but i think I will spend my time doing something that doesn’t include any risk- besides my army of 1 million hot pink bunnies!
you get the point now, i think 
You know, I might just tell kokopelli that he is needing to see this…hey kokopelli! get ova here!
68/69- You’re a phyte. Get over to the phyte thread. Now. *sigh* *bored*
70- For shame, Zinc! We do not herd the neophytes like dogs after sheep! The Neophytes thread is optional, not compulsory!
