The objective is to get to the finish and collect the most tokens. As players progress along the board, they encounter scenarios with a choice of two decisions to make. Based on their answer, they either get to move their game piece or receive tokens. At the end of the game, the players are supposed to talk about which decisions they made that they would be ashamed of. On the back of the game board is a factsheet and FAQ on "something for something" love, which is a relationship where sex is given in exchange for favors, money, or gifts. There is also a program schedule for the RockPoint 256 radio serial drama. less
