You have not yet had breakfast and you notice that there is a sweet aroma of food drifting through the sewer.

(Notes from me. After reading the articale... I decided to make a prototype of the game....I figure what do I have to lose. this is what I came up with. 

The Game Tokens are made from a polymer clay. It took about 15-20 minutes to sculpt(it was hot in the appartment) each pieace and 30 minutes to Bake in the oven at 285 Degrees(man was the appartment really warm for a while. I drew up the board in photoshop.
