Back in his hometown of Sugar House running his familys board game shop and café, Ben Rosencrantz just cant seem to get his life to pass go, much less collect. Once he was a happily married English professor in Seattle. Now hes a divorced caregiver, looking after his ill father and a Chihuahua named Beans while still figuring out the rules of retail management. At least the town has become more LGBTQ+ friendly than when Ben was a teenagerand that flower shop owner, Ezra McCaslin, enjoys flirting with him.
But despite his usual clientele of gamers, Ben is barely earning enough to keep the store running and stay on top of his fathers medical bills. Then a local toy and game collector named Clive offers him a winning strategyto purchase a turn-of-the-twentieth-century edition of The Landlords Game, the realty and taxation game that inspired Monopoly, at a tenth of the rare editions true value. Suspicious of Clives shady, low-priced deal, Ben turns the offer down.
Then Clive turns up dead at the front door of Bens and a backpack full of bills appears on his doorstep. Now Ben is the #1 suspect in Clives death, and unless he and Ezra can prove his innocence and find the real killer, hell go to jail for murderand no amount of double dice rolls will set him free . . .
