Just when you think you've seen just about every version of Monopoly available, inevitably, there's still more to stumble upon. Enter: Ghettopoly. I found this online, and apparently, it was created in 2003 by a guy named David Chang which caused major controversy amongst the Hasbro team who are the original creators of "Monopoly." Where was I when all this happened?
The game features:
• Game Board
• Pink Slip Cards
• Ghetto Doe Counterfeit Money & Loan Shark Tray
• Ghetto Stash and Hustle Cards
• 40 Crack Houses
• 17 Projects
• 7 Collectible Pewter Tokens: Pimp, Hoe, 40 oz, Machine Gun, Marijuana Leaf, Basketball, and Crack Rock
• Non-metallic Dice
• Rules
Oh, and don't forget, you can have 2-7 playas!
I think I want to play just to read some of the "Ghetto Stash" and "Hustle" cards. Nothing beats "Let$ Roll Steal $$$" right after paying a fine for a card that read, "You found out today that the chicken head you be messin wit last night has STD's. Pay $50 for a shot of antibiotics."
I don't know about you, but I want to buy this game A.S.A.P. Sadly, I have to report that production has since been terminated following the lawsuit Hasbro brought against Chang. However, this website has a few copies left, in case you want to stock up for future ghetto adventures.
P.S. I must admit that these game pieces are hilarious.
