Futurama Sweepstake-O-Rama

Mark Burger — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:30:00 GMT

Earthican! I came back from the not-so-distant future to tell you that you will own everything! You will buy Cookieville minimum-security Orphanarium, build a Resi-Dome, and make your friends pay rent just for looking at you with that so-called "face." Welcome to the world of tomorrow! Welcome to Futurama Monopoly! You will own your friends so bad, they'll weep like sad, little brain slugs. Game Informer is giving away collector's edition Futurama Monopoly games and brand new Futurama, season 6, DVD sets. But that's not all: our grand prize is an unbelievably rare Futurama Monopoly signed by Matt Groening and the cast of Futurama (Katey Sagal, Billy West,...).

Without changing the space-time continuum, I can safely divulge that we will pick eight weekly winners on Tuesday, February 14, 21, and 28. Each drawing, we will give away five Futurama Monopoly games and three season 6 DVD's. On the 28th, we will select one grand prize winner from the overall pool, who will receive the one and only autographed Futurama Monopoly, as well as the season 6 DVD set!

Excited, aren't you? I knew you'd be. I also knew you'd be looking for the entry button right now. Muah-ha-ha-ha! I own omnipotence! I also know that you will enter once every day to increase your chances, because we let you. And I already know that you will try to enter more than once a day. It's okay. Sometimes I make up my own cheat codes too - and they never work. Someone will post a comment about "...the entry page doesn't work!" and I will appease by saying "I know. It's fine. The code monkeys fixed it and you're entered." What else is going to happen in the future? What does your year 3000 look like? Is someone finally going to kiss Bender's shiny, metal %^&? Submit your prediction in the comments section and the person with the most nominations (comments on your comment) wins a photoshop'd picture with you and any of the Futurama characters.

Oh, and here's the link to the Futurama Sweepstake-O-Rama entry page

(scroll down for photos of the prizes)

Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, Katey Sagal,...and more have all signed this sweet baby!

Here's an image of the back of the box.

"Bite my shiny metal token!" -token. There's also a Hypnotoad, a Planet Express Ship, a Brain Slug, a Seymour, and a What If Machine token. Chance and Community Chest cards have been replaced with Good News Everyone! and Attention Puny Humans! cards. There's also lots of cash you can collect from your opponents and plenty Redi-Domes. And more...

Awesome, awesome cover art of the Futurama Season 6 DVD 2-disc set.
