Imagine playing the Classic Monopoly with cash and little dogs, iron, a bag of cash as the games token.
I'm pretty sure almost everyone owns at least a Monopoly set each.
Or the cheap-ass imitation "JUTAWAN" which gives the same satisfaction.
Well, for me, I would usually get annoyed by holding all the cash in my hand. Having to look for the 20, 50, 100 and 1000 dollar notes and arranging them again when a transaction occurs. I have a mild O.C.D. So sue me.
Not only that, it's small and light, so I try to avoid playing it under the fan or my money will fly away and I would have to get my lazy off the chair or floor just to chase after the money.
Anyways, Parker Brothers came up withCOUNTLESS versions of the Monopoly Board games as well as coming out with the ones you can play virtually on your computer.
The computer version Monopoly? You only play it when everyone tends to ignore you and you have no other choice but to play it by yourself.
Recently, they came up with
The revamped version incorporates an electronic card reader that records the earnings and payments for players and transfers money between them.
Still based on London streets, the new "Here & Now" version of the game attempts to incorporate all the trappings of modern-day life.
The new version reflects today's property prices, and includes trendy districts such as Portobello Road Market, Soho, and Notting Hill.
It has exchanged train stations for airports and the game tokens are no longer top-hats and racing cars of days gone by, but the more modern phenomena of mobile phones, roller blades and cheeseburgers.
Chance and Community Chest cards have also been revamped. Instead of winning a beauty contest, contestants now win a reality TV show, and there is no more passing go and collecting £200, as players now pocket a whopping £2 million.
