Maybe I'm just not tuned to the band's frequency, but Queen doesn't seem like it puts out a ton of cash-grab merchandise. So it's kind of cool that the band has turned its eye to making its own, official version of Monopoly, following the likes of Metallica and AC/DC. The game will take you through the band's history and still throw your ass in jail at points.
"Tour the amazing gig history of Queen, from their very first at Imperial College in 1970 to their last with Freddie Mercury at Knebworth Park in 1986. Tour the world with the band and buy gig locations and hit singles. Build staging blocks then upgrade to full productions and watch the rent come pouring in. Take your chances with A Kind of Magic and In the Lap of the Gods cards as you tour the board as one of the iconic Queen bespoke tokens. You can own it all!"
Guitarist Brian May says the album is coming out in May via his website. No word on if he'd done that just because it's his last name or not.
