‘The Wire’ Monopoly Game | The Poke:

Monopoly, the iconic board game that for decades has instilled the values of aggressive capitalism into the young, joined forces today with the hit TV show ‘The Wire’.
“The Wire is all about corners,” says Hasbro spokesperson Jane McDougall, “and the Monopoly board is all about corners. It was a natural fit.”
Based around the journey a young gangster might take through the fictionalised Baltimore of the show, players move from corner to stoop, past institutions featured in successive series like the school system and the stevedores union, acquiring real estate, money and power before ending up at the waterfront developments and City Hall itself.

OH MY GOD 

holy shit is this real I remember dreaming about how awesome this would be

I have a couple of quibbles from a game design perspective, but a very cool concept overall.

Yay, Baltimore!

Yay, The Wire!

Yay, perpetually losing the game because of the square that says The Game!
