Free Parking

Free Parking is a children's card game for two to four players, published by Parker Brothers in 1988 and named after the Free Parking space on the Monopoly board. Charles Phillips created the game, which is otherwise unrelated to Monopoly apart from borrowing its title and its box-cover graphics. Each player has a parking meter and a hand of five cards, and on a turn either draws up to six cards or discards three for three replacements. Players score by laying down Points cards, but each one costs minutes on their meter, which they can refill with Feed the Meter cards. Hazards include Officer Jones, who forces a player with an empty meter to discard a Points card, and Time Expires, which empties a meter at once; Free Parking and Talk Your Way Out of It cards protect against them. The first player to reach 200 points wins. Reviewers describe it as easy to play and heavily dependent on luck. It was later distributed by Winning Moves under a Hasbro trademark.
