I've never heard of the game. I love the quotes in the article from the creator though.

"I just can't believe they are doing that," in response to the lawsuit from Hasboro.

"Should we also ban every single comedian who cracks jokes about Asians?"

The dude obviously doesn't understand the idea of copyrights and trademarks. Outside of the obviously offensiveness of the game why does he think Hasboro would want him selling any game that resembles theirs without payment for their idea? Not to mention they stood to lose much more by association.
