Historical Note
I was really surprised by the popularity of this piece, given that it was more "silly" than "funny". I guess people just like hearing about themselves.

The Big Pogo Self-Test

What Board Game Are You?

You know, there's a lot of self-tests out there right now. I mean, every month, it seems like there's a new issue of Cosmo with a headline like, "Is your man sensitive enough to your needs? Find out with this little quiz". Meanwhile, Maxim has some self-test like, "What are you, some sort of sensitive wimp? Find out with this little quiz."

Well, we at the Funny Pages thought it was high time we get in on the action. So we made up our own self-test to tell you what kind of board game you would be if you were a board game. Which might come in useful at some point, I guess.

Okay, enough blabbing. On with the test!
