Chez Greek

Some friends of mine recently introduced me to a card game called Chez Greek. I haven't yet decided what to think of it...

It's based on Chez Geek, which is put out by the same company (Steve Jackson Games). The idea of Chez Geek is that you and your opponents all share an apartment, you have a job which leaves you with a certain amount of income and free time (which varies by job), and you have to accumulate slack (because your job is so stressful) by buying things, watching TV, surfing the net, getting laid ("nookie"), having guests come over, getting a cat, etc.

Chez Greek is the same, except you're in college, sharing a fraternity or sorority house, you have a major instead of a job, and there is a lot more booze to buy and nookie to be had.

The rules start out with, "you've decided to join a frat [sic] or sorority - because renting your friends is better than having none at all."

It's actually somewhat humorous if taken with a grain of salt (or a shaker full). The cards themselves are amusing - for instance, one of the TV shows you can watch is "War of the Week", and two of the cats are named "Bud" and "Wiser". But I'm concerned because it very much perpetuates the stereotypes of greek life being all about booze, drugs, and getting laid.

Whaddya think?
