Are they going from this --

I used to like that game but now it seems like it takes forever for it to end.

This will bomb like "New Coke". "Buying Boardwalk" is a part of our cultural lexicon.

There's already a million Monopoly retreads.

Heck, every sizable university has a "[univ name]-opoly" version selling at their bookstore.

"We encourage Monopoly fans to help create the look of our new game board by voting often at our website for their favorite landmarks," Matt Collins, Vice President of Marketing for Hasbro, said in a statement.

Zounds!

This guy must be a Democrat!
"Vote often"..... ?

Capitalism evolves!

Like Hell, this is nothing but fixing something that ain't broke.

Actually I feel the game is more of a lesson in socialism, that is there is only one winner with capitalism, and everyone else looses, implying the need for socialism to protect everyone from the one winer.

Another socialist aspect of the game is all the property is "rent controlled", and the owner is unable to set a fair price, this ends up hurting the poor renter, with the blame being placed on the capitalist, but we know it is really the socialism causing the problem.

I think this game belongs in the garbage.

If ain't broke, don't fix it. I live about 2 miles from the site of the original Parker Brothers. It was a stroke of brilliance at the time, and like all such things, can rarely be improved upon.

[TBP]

Sure, that will work well.

[kpp_kpp]

watch for "Monopoly Classic" to come out a few months after the redesigned Monopoly... at a higher price.

Monopoly is a lousy game.

This site has rankings of board games that are much better:

Until May 12, fans can vote on www.monopoly.com for their favorite landmarks from 22 cities — including New York's Times Square, Chicago's Wrigley Field, Honolulu's Waikiki Beach, Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.

Jagoffs ain't even got the Stroh's Clock or The O as a choice.

I loved playing Monopoly as little kid and I had no idea where or what Atlantic City was at the time. Neither did any of the kids I played with. But we all loved the game and played for hours on cold winter days in the bad ol' days before cable and video games.
