In this awesome new street game, small teams compete to collect Kensington properties and develop them into expensive lofts and swanky coffee shops. But watch out for the team of angry locals, bent on thwarting your efforts in an attempt to save the market from certain doom.

What: With your teammates, you’ll run around Kensington market, scouting properties, strategizing, and negotiating with other teams. Your objective? Build fancy stores, raise property values, make $$$! Or, if you are super lucky, you will be the secret team of locals, charged with protecting the market from these evil developments. Along the way there will be art, vicious debates, and possibly an Apple Store.

When: 2pm, Saturday March 6, 2010

Where: Bellevue Square (that little park in Kensington market), around a sidewalk chalk map of the surrounding neighbourhood.

How long: The game will proceed in 5 rounds, lasting about an hour.

What to bring: A digital camera (camera phones are cool too, as long as they aren’t super low res)
