    #Woodwagon!

    As an update to the “Roadmaster!” post… I’d gotten some questions about “And what is ‘Wood Wagon’? How do you play that?” And here, I thought everybody knew this one…

    So, we present:

    WOOD WAGON!

    Ideal for highway trips, commutes, and spins around the block, the basic rules to “Wood Wagon!” are:

    • A wood wagon is defined as any vehicle with wood of that wood-ish-looking fiberglass stuff as part of the body.
    • Each Wood Wagon is worth 1 point
    • An erroneously called Wood Wagon docks you -1 point
    • All contenders must be present in the vehicle during play and the winner is decided by whomever has the most points at the end of the trip.

    • CLASSIC example of a Wood Wagon

      CLARIFICATIONS, CAVEATS, AND ERRATA

    • The “wood” must be part of the body of the vehicle. So…
    • Something like a stake bed would be OK:
    • But a semi hauling logs would not be OK:
    • A “Wood Wagon!” call has a value of 3 points when played in combination with “Buick!” Points are cumulative.
    • Since so many wood wagons are “late model”, some groups may optionally wish to double point values on “new” wood wagons (e.g., a woodied PT Cruiser)

    Just as a reminder to myself re: “got inside”: Grab a 120GB hard drive (or something) (from somewhere) and hook it up like Command-Tab
