| In
the beginning, the Wheel Of Intoxication was nothing more than a crude
hunk of plywood, cut into a circle and scribbled on with magic marker.
It had an old dowel with an eye-hook screwed into the end that was nailed
to the plywood and used as a spinner. Spaces on the board were mainly
just commands to drink a certain amount, or to make up a rule. |

Eventually,
steps were taken to improve the game. This wasn't any undertaking
in a business sense. Just a few people sitting around, bored,
and trying to occupy their time by improving the wheel... This
led to different spaces and corners on the board that were initially
used for design purposes, but slowly we came up with more uses
for them. The corners were decorated with moons and flowers and
hippy crap like that, and we incorporated them into rules that
we'd make up spontaneously during the game. |
| While
we were redesigning the wheel on the East Coast, there was someone
on the West Coast planning to make the move back east to start
his own company. Consulting, maybe. Or high finance. And there
was always the fact that porn was making a comeback... Armed mainly
with years of experience working for a billion dollar toy company
(we can't say the name, but it rhymes with, 'Smattel') ex-California
boy made his way back home. |

Now
picture a party, where everyone is having a really excellent time.
Music is playing, people are getting relatively funky, laughing
a lot, joking with each other and everybody is, as we said (and
we cannot stress this enough), having a really excellent time!
The ex-California boy, being in the business of fun, was determined
to find out what was causing such a ruckus. So he set out after
only six or seven beers to discover the secret of big fun!

Of
course, it was the Wheel Of Intoxication! After intense, mind-numbing
discussions (i.e."Wanna start a company?" <belch>
"Sure.") we decided to reinvent the Wheel! It took
us a long time, but now we believe we have the greatest party
game ever invented, And we're not alone! Our
customers truly believe our game is
awesome, too. So if you are ever in search of a good time, look
no further. Boingo Games and The Wheel Of Intoxication bring
out the best party in everybody. God bless us, everyone!
