Duckopoly has campus touch
By J A Sparlin
Emerald Contributor _
Buying the EMU is not u problem, oven on a
student's budget. However, participating In rush
could wipe you out financially.
But to play Duckopoly to win. you absolutely,
positively, must know the words to the Oregon
fight song.
The novelty game, created by Late for the Sky
Production Co., is one of 75 versions of a board
game tailored for college campuses nationwide.
A twist on the Parker Brothers classic Monopo
ly, Duckopoly has added some of tier sights (and
hellholes) in which students have played and
studied.
"1 spent way too much time on Academic Pro
bation,' " University graduate Ntcholt Lenn said.
"I guess that's better than going to 'fail' like In
Monopoly."
Except for the difference of landing on spaces
like Rennie's and Track Town Pizza, a group of
students who played the game said they found it
similar to Monopoly
“Going around the board wasn't more exciting,
but I didn't lose as much money and 1 won."
freshman Darlene Lombos said.
Bill Schulte, director of Production and Sales
for the company, said the Oregon version is one
of the company's biggest sellers.
"We an; targeting students. alumni, fans anti
friends," Schulte said "Oregon has proved to la
very loyal
The University Bookstore tan handy meet the
demand for the game, said Beverly lirnery. a
bookstore manager limery said home football
games generate the most stiles
"Our first order came in just before the Arizona
Stati; game Oct 3, and those games were gone by
the Washington game on the 17th." Kmory said
Demand is also high at other outlets Meier K
(•'rank is selling the Oregon versions, fmt it has ex
panded to feature other schools such as Notre
Damn and the University of Miami
hate for the Sky attributes much of the games'
success to substitution of local establishment* for
those found in Monopoly
Gilbert Hall took the place of Atlantic Avenue,
and Kincaid Street is used instead of B Ik O Kail
road.
Schulte said there was very little trademark ne
gotiation with Barker Brothers. Monopoly's pro
ducer.
"They gave us a set of guidelines for what we
could and could not use. and we just followed
it." Schulte said
Schulte said parts of the game that cannot Ixi
duplicated included the "Chance" space, the de
sign on the money, game pieces and even the col
ored rectangles above spaces on the board
