Starring Mark Zuckerberg as Rich Uncle Pennybags! The goal is simple. Buy as much stock in the social media properties scattered across the board until you control all of the game’s money. Just watch out. You don’t want to land on Paypal or wind-up locked up in MySpace oblivion. Land on the wrong space and you’ll wind up backtraced by the cyber police. You’ve dun goofed. But hey, look at it this way. No zombies to avoid. Link [via]

While I’m certainly not creative enough to have ever even thought of merging the two, thanks to Nick “Neptune” Endean, the worlds of Monopoly and Resident Evil come together to create a gaming-themed board game beyond the likes of which we’ve ever seen.

Rich Uncle Pennybags is very pleased with this new Monopoly set designed by Andy Mangold. Look at the packaging, the card holders, the lines of hotels and such; it’s quite the work of art.
