This is a list of weird, creepy pictures that somehow got uploaded and approved. I've only got one or two to start with, so I'm counting on the rest of you to add to the list. Let's see what we can find lurking in the basement of BGG...

Why do people take wierd pictures like this and upload them? I mean that gigantic hand reaching out of pure darkness is really strange. The game hardly even features in the picture at all!

This is too reminiscent of those awkward "happy family" pictures on MB games to not be a great parody. They made one mistake though: on MB pics, all family members always sit on the same side of the table. They never face each other.

What could be creepier than a slime-dripping monster?

(At least the kids look normal.)

(I know this picture was posted on a Geek list a few weeks ago, but I included it here because I felt it does a good job of conveying some form of "creepyness.")

ya! no, not anymore. But back in the day when THIS game was being sold, i probably did, im sorry to say.

For what it's worth, the game was actually pretty fun. You got to move the dripping monster around, and as he moved around town his slime would drip down on the streets, and players could no longer move on streets that had been slimed.

You would try to box your opponents in, until you could actually make the monster "slime" ON THEM, to know them out.

Then i also remember that the players could buy a trampoline kind of thing, that once you had it you could slide it under the monster's foot and try to tip him over, to kill him.

it was original, at least!

I'll field this one: That's no magician--that's Mr. Yang! The inverted lady below him is Madam Yin. Together, they make up that crack team of superspies, the Black N'Whites. Mr. Yang can incapacitate any enemy with one flick of his black diskamobob, while Madam Yin (her husband is presently off somewhere on an Alpine expedition, so there's lots of sexual chemistry between her and Yang) is able to decipher any cryptoquote or obscure message merely by shining her white diskoder beam on it. Both of their devices also function as walkie-talkies and morning after birth control devices.

Agreed. This picture makes the game look really cool. "Layout is as big as your kid!" would be a good subtitle.

I think the cereal bowls are a good idea too, and I'll bet anyone who finds them "creepy" is probably not really geeky enough for this site :shake:
