If being sent to jail without passing "Go" or winning second prize in a beauty contest make "Monopoly" feel oddly detached from real life, a new board game - about homelessness - gives a more realistic taste of the cruel twists of fate.

"While you slept at a homeless shelter, someone stole all your money," reads one card in the game "Outside".
