Stranger than Cheapass Games

Remember the Cheapass Game 'Parts Unknown?' (now out of print)

It's all fun and games until someone loses a Spleen?

Well, proof that the world is far stranger than anyone could possibly make up...

Man convicted in lucrative body parts scheme
"A man accused of carving up cadavers donated to UCLA's medical school and selling their parts to unsuspecting medical research companies was convicted Thursday in the lucrative scheme..."

Modern day grave robbers... How disturbing, and how bizarre.

Ewwww (to both the game and the real life grotesque-ness)!

Of course, I've been trying to kill Dr. Lucky for a while now, only to be constantly beaten to it by my son!

It's actually kind of a fun game.

Every Mad Scientist in town is trying to reanimate the dead - you're going to get rich quick selling them bits and bobs. If there are too few extra parts for the market, townspeople go missing. If there is a surplus, extra townspeople appear. If you haven't got real brains and the market demands them, you can sell a substitute - like cheese.
