| Description: | The dot-com bust has inspired movies, theater, music and books. Rich Koehler, a 32-year-old unemployed dot-commer, last month released Burn Rate, a card game inspired by his experiences at a Seattle Internet company. Monopoly, the best-selling board game of all time, was created in 1934 by an unemployed Pennsylvania man. "Some of the things that were going on in the new economy, it looked like it was setting itself up for a pretty good parody," said Koehler, a former product manager at Seattle-based Qpass. Not only is it a whimsical take on the dot-com collapse, but Huffman says it connects with serious game players who spent time in the high-tech industry. [...] to make ends meet, he is following the path of many laid off high-tech workers. |
