These are only available exclusively during the pre-sale, so if you are a Futurama and Monopoly fan, the time to strike is now.
“Bite my shiny metal token!”
Good news everyone! The World of Tomorrow now features the board game of yesterday! Grab your holophonor for some virtual realty in the year 3000. Buy properties across the four corners of the universe (and the game board) as you hobnob with huggable industrialist Mom, dance with the Robot Devil, and take a mutated plunge into Sewer City. But mind the Hypnotoad – or else Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect 200 Professorland Fun Bucks. Custom Resi-Domes and People Hives replace traditional houses and hotels.
