Cheating - A Board Game
Cheating isn't against the rules. It is the rules.

Cheating is a board game where each player is given cards with specific ways to cheat at an existing game. They can earn and spend coins (actual pennies that also function as an instant $1 rebate) to buy more Cheating cards which offer new ways to cheat like moving extra spaces on the board, false shuffling the deck, taking extra cards, etc. If you can win at the base game by cheating better than your opponent, you win!
My prototype, which I’m still play-testing, works with Sorry – which I call “Apologies” in an attempt to not get sued. My eventual plan is to make multiple versions of Cheating that each work with a different game you may already have. Cheating at Capitalism (Monopoly), Cheating at Colonizers (Catan), Cheating at World Domination (Risk), etc.
If you want to play it, let me know. It works pretty well as is, but I’m still making refinements.
