There are countless themed variations of Monopoly, but this one is the best yet. Technically, The Doom That Came To Atlantic City isn’t actually a new version of the game, but a loosely based satire that has the monsters from your Lovecraftian nightmares trying to take over South Jersey.
Yeah, because if you were one of the Great Ones wouldn’t you start there, too?
The game is the work of artist Lee Moyer, designer Keith Baker, and sculptor Paul Komoda and has been a work-in-progress for 20 years that is finally going to happen thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Rovio has a huge hit with Angry Birds so, naturally, they are milking it for all it’s worth. We’ve already seen the line of plushes, but now a board game is in the works from Mattel.
Angry Birds: Knock on Wood comes with 3 Angry Birds figures, 4 pigs, 56 cards, 14 blocks and a slingshot launcher. The participant must draw a card, build the structure printed on it, and then their opponent must try to knock it down using the correct supply of birds.
The game will drop for $15 starting this May. More images are available after the break.

I’m not a big fan of board games. I’ll play a board game if its on a console or my phone, but somehow the fun of an analog version escapes me. But the fact that we live in a digital age did not stop Japanese game maker Epoch from unveiling a Super Mario Bros and a Super Mario Kart board game at the Tokyo Toy Show.

“Who’s Naked” puts a perverted spin on the classic game of “Guess Who” by expanding the pool of characteristics that players can utilize to determine their opponents character. In other words, pubes, boobs and penises FTW.

Instead of UFOs and lasers, these aliens prefer to battle for control of earth over a gentlemanly game of chess. Hmmm….chess is not my game. How about Connect Four?

Nothing would get an intellectual woman hotter than challenging her to a game of Erotic Chess. It’s dirty, yet sophisticated—like an orgy breaking out at a book reading or a porno being shot in an art museum.
This wide shot covers the whole board, but as you will see from close up shots featured on the product page, things get pretty hardcore. The sets appear to be handmade to order in Russia, so no pricing information is listed.
