Governor’s son creates, sells game

Downtown's Hobbs to carry 'Don't Drop the Soap'

? A son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap.”

John Sebelius, 23, designed the prison-themed game as a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

He has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”

John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor’s mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.

The game also goes on sale starting Thursday at Hobbs in Lawrence.

The site describes “Don’t Drop the Soap” as a game “Where no one playing enters through the front door!”

The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using Wheelz, muscle-flexing Anferny and business suit-clad Sal ‘the Butcher.’

“This game is intended for mature audiences – not children – and is simply intended for entertainment,” Corcoran said.

She said Kathleen and Gary Sebelius think their son’s work is interesting and creative, especially the shirts he designs by hand and also sells on the site.
