How To Play

Each player rolls in turn and moves that many spaces on the board. Then they follow instructions for that square.

If You Roll Doubles

Double Ones You just spent an entire day trying to find Eugene City Hall before realizing it’s all an illusion. Go back three spaces.

Double Twos You want to hear the world’s funniest joke, so you buy the complete set of Frog’s joke books. Move ahead four spaces.

Double Threes You get the cops called on you for wandering around downtown with your pitbull. Move back two spaces.

Double Fours You hike to the top of Mount Pisgah on the Solstice and see the sunset through the slots. Move ahead three spaces.

Double Fives You appear on Rick Dancer’s Facebook show, lose a turn while you admire his hair as he spreads misinformation about COVID-19.

Double Sixes You took a selfie in front of Springfield’s Simpsons mural. Don’t have a cow, man, and roll again

How To Win

Be the first player to land on WIN! without overshooting. You must land exactly on the space. If you overshoot, you go back to the START, but you get to take an extra turn.

A Note From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.

That’s because of you!

Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.

Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.

We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.

And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.

As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.

Thank you for standing with us!
