Tired of telling people that Second Life isn’t a game? Want to take a break from using Second Life to earn money for your groceries and mortgage? Want to kick back and not rework your Marketplace listings for better sales performance?
Announcing Second Life: The Game!
Plays just like the serious business and socialising platform of the same name*! Features gameplay and concepts from a familiar (and more importantly, public domain) board-game to allow ages 13 and up to have a good “first hour” experience, and some fast, easy fun.
A wide variety of Community and Linden Lab Policy cards makes the game endlessly replayable! Here are some samples:
Second Life: The Game provides hours of enjoyment without requiring an always-on Internet connection, and contains no DRM.
System requirements: 1 ordinary table-top. At least two players. Snacks: optional.
Second Life: The Game – Fast, Easy, Fun.
* Gameplay not actually guaranteed to be similar to the online content publishing, commerce and communications platform, Second Life.
Disclaimer: Second Life: The Game is a work of pure whimsy and satire. It does not exist. If you send me money, I will absolutely spend it and you will absolutely not receive anything.
Update: Thanks to Crap Mariner there’s now a Flickr Group for new cards. Thanks to all of you there’s some real beauts in there. My hat is off to your crowdsourced comic genius.
“Go directly to Ban. Do not pass Desktop. Do not collect Stipend.”
For a minute there I thought you were revealing your secret project…
No
I just figured we could all do with a good laugh. 
You should totally make this game! It would be a real hit! LMAO!
Hahaha! That’s delightful, thank you.
Beautiful.
The day couldn’t get better. Sunshine, blue skies, a tidy garden. Then sitting down to read this – I’ll be grinning the rest of the day.

That’s a very nice prim mustache there.

[...] Tateru's having fun again. [...]
That made me giggle ^^
Best satire I’ve seen this year. Lot of work there on that downloadable boardgame Tat. Kudos.
Somehow, a Second Life game based on Monopoly seems a little too realistic to be a game. Are you sure you’re not branching into horror genre? ;D
By the time I got four houses on Estate Manager and was ready to rez a hotel, the houses got auto-returned.

I think we need more cards:

Brilliant
You know, there’s this website called Kickstarter…
Seriously, you made my morning with this. Thanks.
Always a pleasure, Joe
Halfway through, I briefly considered Kickstarter, but I’ve got other projects on, and I seriously doubt I could pry loose approval for the name
I’d go for a verson of “The Game of Second Life” based on the gameplay of The Game of Life. Gotta save for that college education, buy life insurance and get married. hahahha
I want!
How much?
Do you take PayPal?
Can I get the money to have a L$ on the bills?
You know Rodvik’s going to be miffed that the cat’s out of the bag prior to SL9B.
Seriously, though? I smell a Kickstarter.
*applause*
There may be more to this concept than initially considered. Do we have a viral concept here?

@ Mariner: Those cards were hilarious. : )
Definitely going viral. We can probably expect a boxed release any time now. Or at least downloadables.
That is so clever and funny. Love it!
Would be a lag-free session of fun, for sure. Brilliant!
Brilliant, Tat!
You know there exists an SLopoly board game in world, right?
I can’t have been the first with the idea.
