A BIZARRE marijuana-themed board game has been mysteriously delivered to at least 20 Glenelg East residents. The game, Hydro Lord, is a Monopoly-style game where players have to buy hydroponic set-ups, then harvest and sell the marijuana.More than 20 copies of the game, which is covered in images of marijuana leaves, were dumped last Thursday (October 18) in the front yards of several houses in Fifth Ave, Sixth Ave and Keen Ave, Glenelg East.Glenelg East resident David Smith discovered the boxes on Thursday while delivering magazines to letterboxes.``I just started seeing more and more of them, they were in driveways, on the footpath... there had to be at least 20,'' he said.Mr Smith, who has a son, 5, said he was concerned for any children who may have come across the game.The aim of the game is to buy hydroponic set-ups, survive without being caught by police for four months, harvest the crop and reap the cash.Hydro Lord's website claims it is ``an exhilirating (sic) board game that takes you into the lucrative money making world of hydroponics; the trials and tribulations, the highs and of course the lows''.The game's box also carries a warning: ``The game accepts no responsibility for ideas players may acquire during the game.''Mr Smith called police, who collected all visible copies of the game from front yards.``They said they'd never seen anything like it before,'' Mr Smith said.Police at Glenelg Police Station told the Guardian Messenger they had never heard of the game and would launch an investigation into the matter.Sturt Police Chief Inspector Les Buckley, who took over the investigation, did not return the Guardian Messenger's inquiries before deadline.The Guardian Messenger attempted to contact the makers of the game through their website but they did not respond.
