Methopoly is Fashioned After an Illegal Substance Dealer's House
Michael Hemsworth — February 16, 2013 — Pop Culture
If the standard game of Monopoly isn't serious enough for you, then perhaps a round of Methopoly is more up your alley. The game is meant to be a day in the life of a drug dealer with the various stops and events that happen along the way. It's probably not the best game to play on family game night, but a round with friends can be an uproariously good time. After all, it's a more adult version of the game, even if it is modelled after the illicit drug.
There are a number of stages in Methopoly that are typical with the lifestyle that a seedy drug dealer might progress through including obtaining a house, preparing the drug, dealing with customers and even heading out on the town to find prospective buyers.
