Today’s FavoritesFacebook Parking Wars

Play against invited friends on Facebook.

Objective - earn points by (1) parking your cars as long as possible without being ticketed,

and (2) ticketing your friends cars when parked illegally on your street.

If you cannot find a legal park for your car, you must park illegally.

The longer a car is parked, the more points are accrued.

Ticketing a car with lots of points brings lots of points.

Street Signs change unexpectedly, so legal parks become

illegal eventually.
