NEW GAYME
A new game, created by Gregg Mayfield of Philadelphia, is on the market called "Twinkees and Trolls".
The game begins with those first, early experiences while growing up, progresses through "Coming Out" and the first visits to a Gay Bar, a show bar, a leather bar, and the inevitable "Tubs". It follows with travel to various cities and resorts significant to the Gay Community. The object," naturally, is to accumulate as many "Twinkees" and as few "Trolls" as you can.
