Finally, a board game that we would want to play, courtesy of cool comic book creator Brandon Graham, whose critically-acclaimed King City is the tale of boy and his super-cat trying to steal things in a futuristic underground city. Now Graham's made a geeked-out version of Monopoly where "Community Chest" and "Chance" have been replaced by events like "Bitten by a Radioactive Spider" and "Portal to Space Monster's Mouth." Check out the board under the jump.
Everything's almost fun and games until you hit Square 3:
Psy-Kicker's Evil Pet Dolphin tries to take over your mind. Roll 3 or higher to break his brain.Someone, somewhere, license and mass-produce this game now, please.

So anthropocentric. Why not a super-cat and his boy?
And way too much Euclidean geometry for an Elder's being taste.
It's good, but it doesn't beat the purity of the Wandering Damage Table for AD&D.
Chock full of awesome.
tehee.."evil pet dolphin tries to take over your mind..."
Foolish humans! You face the wrath of..The Fin!"
I think it's based on the game Life, not Monopoly. They're both pretty horrible games though.
What if someone did something like this based on a good board game? How about....Settlers of Cthulhu?
Where can I buy one?!?!?!?
What is a "low dome ninja"? They lurk on this board and I have no idea what the reference is to!
@ratlas: You are so right! io9 does tend to be a bit humancentric.
