A new board game based on the popular favorite "Monopoly" is now on toy store shelves. "Ghettopoly" pits players against one another in a fight to conquer the streets by becoming the most powerful, drug dealing, gang-banging pimp on the block. Many feel that the game is way over-the-top, and have deemed it "hateful" and "racist." Still, the kids seem to love it as "Ghettopoly" is all the talk of the board gaming world. Here are descriptions of other new versions of popular family board games that will undoubtedly cause even more of an uproar.

Scrabble: The Poorly Funded Urban School Edition
Regular Scrabble is hard enough, but try playing without any A’s, E’s, P’s, R’s, C’s, W’s, S’s, U’s, B’s, I’s, Y’s and H’s. And that’s not the only challenging twist in this revamped version of the classic word game: watch out for those asbestos laced tiles!

Family Murder/Suicide Clue
Whodunit? Where? With What? Was it Uncle Clem in the TV Room with the shotgun? Cousin Susie in the kitchen with a cleaver? Momma in the backyard with the Weed Wacker? Solve a fascinating new mystery every time you play this classic detective game that relies on your sleuthing ability to deduce the culprit, the scene of the crime, the murder weapon, and the country music song that was playing on the radio at the time of the transgression.
The Game of Life Sucks and Then You Die
Want to teach your kids that life really isn't what it's cracked up to be, but in a way that's sort of fun for the whole family? Then "The Game of Life Sucks and Then You Die" is the board game for you. Maneuver your game piece (alcoholic single mother, unemployed man with hepatitis-C, or crack baby) around the board and helplessly try to avoid life's soul wrenching obstacles (poverty, malnutrition, racism, sexism, homophobia, the Man). In the end, each player will die a tragic death, but we’re all gonna die eventually anyway, so who cares?
