Sneak Peek: Futurama Monopoly

A few days ago, the UPS man brought me an unexpected package. It was odd, because instead of giving me a standard UPS box or a nondescript cardboard box, this one was green and labeled “Planet Express.” Which could only mean one thing: it was a Futurama package! Here’s a complete photo gallery of what I found inside…

We love us some Monopoly here at ForeverGeek. We’ve written about its various incarnations many times.

So imagine my delight when I discovered that inside my “Planet Express” box was a special preview of Monopoly’s upcoming Futurama edition, including a game piece and other elements from the game! It was a super cool surprise, and I knew immediately that I had to share it with our readers. Enjoy!

But first, the details: Futurama Monopoly is scheduled to ship to consumers around the middle of October November, but a pre-order sale is happening now, until the end of September. Futurama Monopoly is available exclusively from USAopoly.com. It will not be sold in stores.
