YOUR MORGUES
THE RULES
- Pick a total of 20 celebrities.
- Any person whose celebrity is in question will be voted on by the other morgue owners (players) to determine if they are indeed a celebrity.
- Scoring is simple. Just subtract your celebrity's age from 100 and that is your initial score. (For example, Eddie Van Halen died at the age of 65. 100 - 65 = 35 points.)
- In addition, there are bonuses that can be applied to the final score based on some special circumstances which are described below.
- Whoever has the most points accrued by midnight of December 31st wins bragging rights and receives the highly coveted Gag on This Fantasy Funeral Championship Belt for the year!
