1. OVERVIEW
Endgame does not have its own board; instead, it uses
recycled and re-assembled pieces from existing board games (you
know, the ones in your basement that are starting to get a little
moldy...). The following document describes the modification
and assembly of a kit of parts into your very own Endgame
board.

3. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
: BOARD
3.1 Use the liquid correction fluid to mark out "Streets"
and "Avenues" of the Monopoly® board, leaving
the state and place names intact. (For example, "Oriental
Avenue" becomes the "Orient"; "Marvin Gardens"
becomes "Gardens".) Also, cover or cut
out property color designations. (Figure 3.1)

3.2 Mark out a grid in the center of the game board by extending
the borders of the original play spaces. (Figure 3.2)
Figure 3.2: Mark out grid on board.
3.3 Indicate each of the 53 squares of the center grid by attaching
1 inch squares cut from the world map, or by simply marking
it with a permanent felt-tipped pen. (Figure 3.3)

Figure 3.3 mark out play spaces in center of board.
3.4 Cut out and apply MODIFICATION TEMPLATES to the board.
These can be found in the downloadable document endgametemplate.pdf
- The "Free Park" template replaces "Free Parking"
on the Monopoly® board.
- The environmental criminal template replaces the existing
character in "Jail"
- The additional Jail Rules template is affixed to the "Go
To Jail" space.
