The Mystery of The Scream: New Game

A new board game based on the theft of the famous painting The Scream from an Oslo museum has "shocked the art world," according to an article posted on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's web site. Players can either be the police or art thieves trying to snatch The Scream. The game, Skrik-mysteriet -- or The Mystery of the Scream -- is published by the Norwegian firm Aschehoug & Co. The Munch Museum in Oslo originally offered the game for sale in its gift shop, but quickly pulled it from the shelves in response to criticism from -- my words -- uptight art snobs.
