Feeling down and a bit under the weather?  Suffering from a nasty bout of ill humours? Then Dr. Moorehead's Fun Box may just be the prescribed cure!

Fun box is a simple comparison card game with a bawdy sensibility, guaranteed to turn a humdrum gathering into a mirthful and merry event.

How the antidote works...

The game is comprised of three separate decks:  

1)    Ailments

(Usually a noun or active verb i.e. “Walking in Someone Else's Sleep.”)

2)    Treatments

(Usually a category or adjective i.e. “A Chapter in My Autobiography”)

3)    Doctor's Orders

(A directive or challenge to be performed by the players)

-Each player draws five Treatment cards.

-One player is selected to draw the first Ailment card and places it face up for the other players to read.

-Players choose a Treatment card based on what they feel best fits the selected Ailment and hand them face down to the player who drew the Ailment card.  Players then draw another Treatment card, as they will always keep 5 cards in their hand.

-The player with the Ailment card then chooses which Treatment card s/he feels best suits the category.

-The player with the winning card earns a point for the round.

Doctor’s Orders cards hidden throughout the Ailments deck give players the option of performing the challenge posed on it. If the challenge is met it enables that player to submit a bonus Treatment card in any one of the subsequent rounds, thereby improving their odds of winning that round.  Whoever garners five points first, wins the game.

In the spirit of Victorian era “snake oil” medicinal products, Dr. Moorehead's Fun Box has a retro,1800s throwback feel, complete with unique period style illustrations on each card that will provide a sharp and humorous contrast to our often strange (and even more often) very inappropriate cards.

Funds will go in part to create the original 555 unique illustrations for the cards, the packaging design, and an initial small scale run of our finished product to show to potential retailers and test out. The game will be made under our newly formed company, Monocle Media LLC.  

We have tested our current prototype extensively and the response has been so overwhelmingly positive that we are confident that this party game will find its way into every discerning board game cupboard in America.  Possibly even the friendlier regions of Canada!

We have ambitious plans for Monocle Media's success.  Dr. Moorehead's Fun Box will be our first product, but most definitely not our last.

Your help is vital and greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much.  To your health!
