“Ampersandland” by Donica Ida
Ampersandland is a drinking game for type-nerds. The object is to get to the end of the path before any other player. Landing on a grey space requires you to answer a type-related question. Getting it wrong requires you to drink. Landing on a red space earns you a Safe Card, giving you the option to pass a drink to another player once during the game. Game pieces are vintage lead type from the Williamsburg flea market, and the game bag, playing cards and coasters are all hand-stamped.
