Gay Monopoly: A Celebration of Gay Life!
Board game, in original box. 254x508x38 mm, 10x20x1¼ inches. West Hollywood, CA: Parker Sisters / Fire Island Games, 1983.

Features Tom of Finland imagery and other touchstones of 1980s gay culture. According to the rules pamphlet of this tongue-in-cheek parody game, "GAY MONOPOLY . . . is a 'Celebration of Gay Life' with the emphasis on 'Celebrate.' The real object of the game is to get festive and be crazy for a few hours . . . Sure you want to beat the other players, everyone likes a little good, clean S&M now and then. Just do it with style and taste. Let's face it, what good is it building the biggest monopoly in the game if your property colors don't match your eyeshadow? Puleeze!"

Complete with 6 metal game tokens, 12 bathtubs, 2 dice, 30 Ollie's bar tokens, set of Manhipulation cards, set of Ollie's Sleazebag cards, set of property cards, set of 21 Family Pride cards illustrating gay figures from history, game rules and instruction pamphlet, and $1, $3, $10, $20, $50, $100 and $500 bills.
