Heh heh...
and a "get your van out of hock free" card a la Monopoly
Name of game?
Vanopoly ? You could own yards of vanagon and parts. "Vanwalk Ave" ? Bus
Place?
Instead of railroad stations, you could own repair shops.
And if you pass "go" you not only collect $200, but you get free ice cube
trays!
etc.
I like "vanagon road trip" though
But you already have some fun ideas
How hard would it be?
They might even have some kind of board game design software on the net'
The play pieces could be buses of all types. The dice could be flat 4
engines.
