J.R. Baldwin created a board game loosely based on the novel “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” by Hunter S. Thompson.
It comes inside a inside a suitcase, perfect for taking on “trips”.
UPDATE: J.R. has put the game up for auction on eBay.

Wins award for “Worst game to get through airport security”.
LSA is a tryptamine, not an unclassified hallucinogen. Not to be a nerd or anything.
Hey dummy – he has LSD classified as a tryptamine – it has a red cap, just like the rest of the section. Maybe you should start with the game ‘Clue’ to help develop your powers of observation/deduction
I think Clue might be a little avant-garde for our vigilant friend here. Perhaps we propose he start with something a little more foundational such as, Go Fish.
yeah but gidon is talking about LSA the one behind Lsd. and He is, right it is a tryptamine
Damn you for being right. I jumped the gun
J.R either loved the film way way too much or has far too much time on his hands…great thought i suppose maybe need to fine tune the rules a bit more….
@Echodad:
Or he liked drugs, duh!
where can you buy it?
I only made one as an art piece, but it’s still available for purchase :)
is this available for sale? or will you make one that is? price? Very Cool. Nice work!
I am seriously interested in purchasing this game from you if you are serious about selling it.
Thanks
“It comes inside a inside a suitcase, perfect for taking on “trips”.”
hmmz…so how many suitcases are there??.. :P
but sweet idea, i really liked the movie
I looked at J.R. Baldwin’s site and it appears that the game pieces are merely “Homies” spray painted. (”Homies” are little figurines of gansta’s often found in quarter vending machines.)
I did enjoy this, however. :)
Isn’t it missing weapons and ammo???
Uh.
No.
They didn’t have weapons and ammo in the movie.
Casey,
There was indeed a gun in the suitcase, just one pistol, but still…
This is awesome. I’m not sure if this falls into one of other categories, but some nyquil or mucinex would be a good addition.
If you want to trip on dextromethorphan try to avoid nyquil or mucinex. There are other options out there that contain only DXM, such as Robitussin Geltabs or Delsym.
I would buy this game in a heartbeat… That is, if it wasn’t like $3,500….
there better be some thorazine in there! lol
Very cool game… Between the Fear and Loathing game and the Homies game, the drugs and violence angle is locked in. Unless you are into a board game of religious warfare, like Playing Gods (http://www.playinggods.com/). I’d say that completes the picture!
Looks really good, very well done!!! But I don’t know if it would really be a fun game to play… you’d probably spend more money on the drugs than you would win from the pot anyways
Hey everybody! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a book! It was a book twenty-seven years before it was a movie!
That pretty awesome!
