Didn't see this in search.

Hiding an escape kit in a Monopoly board is about as clever as it gets, IMHO.

Er...I’m not sure why it’s tagged front page news - I don’t think I clicked on that.

In Obamanopoly, a customized version distributed to Al Qaeda, Iran, the Taliban, and Vladimir Putin, silk maps of the positions of U.S. & coalition forces, as well as missile defense locations, are hidden inside the board.
