Skulls in the Stars 
No more complaining when I punch you or about the rules that I’ve come up with. 🙂
…and aren’t you glad I didn’t come up with a rule like the blue slugbug?
Official Slug Bug rules (as decided by me)
1. A current era slug bug gets one punch
2. A current era convertible slug bug top up gets two punches
3. A current era convertible slug bug top down gets three punches
4. Two current era slug bugs together on the road – side by side or one right after the other – three punches
5. A vintage slug bug – three punches
6. A vintage convertible top up slug bug – four punches
7. A vintage convertible top down slug bug – five punches
8. Driving by a VW dealership – no punches for anyone
9. Players must be in a car when punches are delivered
Rules I’m comtemplating implementing
1. Choose a color for the day – that color gets double the punches
2. Running total winner – whoever gets the most punches wins for that car ride
Dear Lord, you’re turning Slug Bug into a version of Magic Realm, but with punches!
A vintage blue slug bug – sleep with Dr. Skull’s ex-girlfriend… THREE TIMES!
PD – WHO has to sleep with Dr. Skull’s ex-girlfriend? And which ex-girlfriend is it? I need details to add that to the list of rules.
