If the standard [game of Monopoly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-expansion-packs) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exploding-kittens-the-board-game), but a round with friends can be an uproariously good time. After all, it's a more [adult version of the game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sims-board-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.
