Feds 'N' Heads is a board game published by Playboy Press and Rip Off Press in 1971 that is based on the identically titled underground comic by Gilbert Shelton.
Victory conditions
Feds 'N' Heads is a basic "roll the dice and move" game.[1] Players all start on the Home square, where they each collect $50.[1] They then move around the board, trying to land exactly on places where they can buy a "lid" (1 ounce) of "weed" (marijuana) while avoiding the card-drawing squares "Burns, Busts, Bummers & Rip-Offs" and "Weird Trips".[2] Sample cards from these squares include "You smoke an entire lid of grass, get monstrously hungry, and spend $25 at the Delicatessen" and ""You get paranoid and flush five lids down the john. This will cost you $25 for the Roto-Rooter man."[2]
Players must return to the Home square to get more money, and can stash their weed there as well to avoid losing it to other players or cards.[2]
The illustrations on the game board are by Shelton, using a style developed for his 1968 one-shot comic called Feds 'N' Heads and further developed in his Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comic.[1]
The winner is the first player to collect 35 lids (equal to 1 "key"/1 kilo) and then return to the Home square.[2]
