Social Media Monopoly Board Game

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 ...
