It’s no secret that Monopoly is responsible for 90% of friendships collapsing, with the famed board game almost always ending in bloodshed and anarchy. That description is also apt for a certain award-winning TV show by the name of Breaking Bad. So, you can imagine the anarchy that would result from a Breaking Bad themed Monopoly game.
Players will be able to play as Heisenberg’s hat, Tio’s bell, a money barrel, a gas mask, the pink teddy bear and the RV as they buy, sell and trade famous locations from the crazy show. These include Saul Goodman’s law firm, Los Pollos Hermanos and many more. It doesn’t stop there, as houses ave been renamed as ‘Tented Houses’, hotels to ‘SuperLabs’, the Community Chest Cards to ‘Heisenberg Cards, and the Chance Cards to ‘Walter White Cards’.
“Players will want to ‘tread lightly,’” the product site reads, “to buy, sell, and trade properties to be the last one standing in this risky version of Monopoly.” Sounds perfect for Breaking Bad, and even show creator Vince Gilligan agrees, saying “Walter White described himself as being in the empire business. What better partner could we hope for than the folks behind the original empire building game?”
Sounds sick as hell, if you can’t wait for these beauties to hit the shelves in Straya you can cop Monopoly: Breaking Bad at theop.games for $40 USD.
