Big Lebowski Monopoly


Stranger knocks you out and steals your rug. PASS OUT. Do not observe Shabbos.

Samzo has created a ridiculously detailed Big Lebowski Monopoly game, with property, Community Chest (Briefcase) and Chance (White Russian) cards. (Hat tip to John Farrier of Neatorama)

Recessionopoly: Do Not Pas GO, Ever


Looks like times are tough for Rich Uncle Pennybags, he's sold off the car and is out on the street. Still, you'd think he'd be able to stay at Baltic Avenue - that place is a dump. (Recessionopoly by Carlos Rocafort IV at Threadless)

Omar's Coming! Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200


A Monopoly version of The Wire? Oh, hell yes! From The Poke:
Based around the journey a young gangster might take through the fictionalised Baltimore of the show, players move from corner to stoop, past institutions featured in successive series like the school system and the stevedores union, acquiring real estate, money and power before ending up at the waterfront developments and City Hall itself.

“We hope The Wire Monopoly game will go down well not just with fans of the show, but everyone who secretly wishes to be a poor violent black drug dealer from America.
I would play this in a heartbeat. (Link via The Ampersand)
