Ought to have been Typopoly. From timbasmits.com. 'PROJECT / FONTOPOLY & MR FONOTOPOLY CHARACTER DESIGN FOR "GO FONT YOURSELF" EXHIBITION'
Timba Smits, a
London-based
graphic designer from
Melbourne,
Australia, created this lovely poster called
Fontopoly. This looks like a fun game, although like most of these type projects, I'm sure helvetica wasn't there, and arial.

There was this I saw recently too, the
fontgame.ilovetypography.com & Type Trumps over at
Face37.com
'After the hugely successful Type Trumps comes the much awaited sequel — Type Trumps 2 — 30 new designs showing different
typefaces being assigned
numerical values. Type Trumps, a play on Top Trumps, uses figures to enable the cards to be won or lost using some of the tried and tested 'Top Trumps' rules.
The Type Trumps have a 'ranking', which is a subjectively ascribed positional value based on my personal favourites'
