It plays like this; everybody starts with a riot control vehicle and the 1st person to collect their quota wins.

Sound like fun? evil grin

Maybe as a series of events…

Ala Running Man (movie not book)

The players control 5 runners…the first to cross wins freedom and riches beyond measure

…think ninja warrior with dire results for failures picture picture spikes, saw blades, electricfied water, etc.

then arena tests with house fighters trying to stop your players picture

run a single lap around a race track while the race is on picture picture picture

then include your street sweeper race

MiniatureReview23 Oct 2009 8:13 a.m. PST

and the rules are? How do you go about collecting the quota?

Can the quota….I mean humans fight back?

Thomas Whitten23 Oct 2009 8:56 a.m. PST

Taking back pain meds and watching Soylent Green while wanting to do something miniatures related only yields so much. I guess I was wondering how objectionable, if at all, the theme of the game would be.

I could see a modification of Ambush Alley or Chain Reaction handling things. The quota would be handled by the judge but whether it ran, fought or hid would be handled in a somewhat random manner.

And thanks for the pics 28mmMan very inspiring.

Sounds like a fun game.

Wasn't Solyent Green made from humans?

Perhaps you could have different coloured figures for the teams and the player has to "harvest" the other colours to feed their own team.

Black Tower, good one!

How about figs in different colored clothing representing different 'grades' of people?

Green jumpsuited ones are the the best, orange jumpsuits are the worst…

And then the players have to go for the better 'coded' ones for the score?

Cacique Caribe23 Oct 2009 10:39 a.m. PST

Well, didn't it start with green ones, and then people wanted more variety?

Or did the orange ones remind people of the trucks:

Anyway, I would love to have this bumper sticker:

Be Green! Eat Green!

PS. This one is cool too:

Cacique Caribe23 Oct 2009 10:42 a.m. PST

But this Soylent Green seems to be the best one of all:

PS. Don't ask me why those two images are different.

I guess I was wondering how objectionable

It's SF, so not at all.

Objectionable?

What are you talking about?

It would be a great tool to teach kids all about the ultimate in recycling!

Dude, I would play that game. It sounds like fun to me.

Reminds me of the old video game "Death Race"
