Those familiar pieces to the Monopoly game are the shoe, the thimble and the race car, but have you ever heard of the version with the gun or crack cocaine?

Only during "Black History Month" when stereotyping actively encouraged :)
This person is also selling this game.
Summary
Another "Monopoly" clone, but set around a theme of the Clinton Presidency. Plays much like classic Monopoly, but things are replaced: you collect "Hush Money," get sent to Sen. Fulbright's office instead of jail; pay Capital Gains Tax instead of a Luxury tax; and so on. The game isn't particularly harsh, though, more like light satire.
A "Hush Fund" (read: Free Parking) is an official rule of the game, paid by all fines that are not rent.
The game revolves much around the "Whitewater" deal (remember that?), and is billed as "The Great American Sell-off Game." Properties include major monuments and governmental proterties, such as the UN, Whitewater, Air Force One, and the Washington Monument.
Of trivia interest: Only a month after I bought this game, the Arlington Cemetary (pay cash = get plot) scandal hit the Clintons. We had lots of fun buying the Arlington Cemetary after that.
