I wouldn't contact the company, because they will say no most propably, even if there isn't any legal basis for prohibition of your game.
Make sure you haven't used any original art(eg. scanned) and don't name your game similar(even in parts) to the original.
Try to change some things like the layout of the board or some rules, so you can argue that your game isn't identical if you get an email from a lawer.
If they anyhow insist on stopping distribution of your game, you still can contact a lawer.
This is my opinion, not a legal advice.
