Fancy getting legless, getting into a fight and throwing up in your living room?

Anyone game for it may find themselves getting stopped by the Old Bill while still sitting in their armchair.

It may be worth the risk, if only for the fun of a pub crawl between bars which are only an inch apart and all in one room.

Games fanatic Edward Bell is hoping to encourage masses of people to join in such antics.

The beauty of it, however, is that no one need wake up the next day with a hangover.

Edward, 54, has recreated his native Hanover area of Brighton as a board game, complete with seven hostelries to visit.

The game, called Legless, invites players to navigate their way around the likes of the Horse and Groom and Cobden Arms. The aim is to stay as sober as possible.

At every throw of the dice they are in danger of being given more to drink, getting into a fight or being stopped by the police.

They can save themselves from getting completely legless by resting in the park, eating a Gristles burger or stopping off for a kebab.

Edward said Legless had proved popular with locals in Hanover and he was hoping a games publisher would take notice.

He said: "It's a virtual pub crawl, where you are balancing the units you consume with the money you spend. You can reduce your alcohol by eating.

"You have to drink in all seven pubs to win the game and you throw the dice to see what you drink.

"If you throw low numbers, you have soft drinks but higher numbers are for stronger drinks.

"The person who does not drink up all his money is the winner.

"It's certainly not encouraging people to drink - more like to stay at home and not go to the pub. If you did this for real, you would probably die.

"Some people have threatened to try it as a drinking game but it could be quite lethal. You could be made to have six cocktails in your first couple of pubs so it's not really advisable."

Edward initially created the game with the name Hangover, of which all 500 copies sold out in the pubs advertised.

However, Legless has been modified so it can be personalised for any town in the country.

Edward has had previous success in creating games so is hoping this will take off.

He said: "I had a hand in a game called Solar Trader, which I developed with some friends. It was about trading commodities around the different planets of the solar system with a general aim of saving the Earth.

"It won an award as best board game of 1992 but there was a recession at the time and although it went into production a lack of promotion meant it didn't take off."
