During a recession, it’s always good to see someone come up with some ‘reality with a twist’ entertainment to ease the tension. Monopoly: Recession Edition is a fabulously funny way to show indications of the current economic state.

Monopoly has been a popular pastime for decades, and we have seen some unique enhancements to the family favorite over the years, but none as outwardly bold as this gem.

The Monopoly: Recession Edition has foreclosed properties, crashing stocks and ghastly taxes. But if you manage to pass Go, you can collect an unemployment benefit.

So turn off the television (if your cable company hasn’t already) and gather the family in the living room for a rousing game of Monopoly: Recession Edition. (billshrink)
