I just found out about the new version of board game Monopoly world edition. i really hope i can come up with the money for this
i can hardly wait. this is what i've found out about it.
The 22 cities that earned spots on the MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition are as follows, listed in order of property groupings with the highest rent properties listed first:
-- Dark Blue: Montreal, Riga -- Green: Cape Town, Belgrade, Paris -- Yellow: Jerusalem, Hong Kong, Beijing -- Red: London, New York, Sydney -- Orange: Vancouver, Shanghai, Rome -- Magenta: Toronto, Kyiv, Istanbul -- Light Blue: Athens, Barcelona, Tokyo -- Brown: Taipei, Gdynia
"The destinations chosen by the international voters offer a fascinating snapshot of which cities have the world's attention today," said Pauline Frommer, creator of the Pauline Frommer guidebooks. "Of course, there are the perennial favorites--Paris, London, Rome, Jerusalem, New York--but also some real surprises on the list, like Riga and Gdynia. I hope the game sparks players interest in geography -- and visiting all of these cities would certainly enhance your life!"
Along with the 22 property spaces featuring world-class global cities, the game will include updated Chance and Community Chest cards that highlight events and culturally relevant scenarios from countries around the world. Players may celebrate at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, organize an international music festival or host a St. Patrick's Day festival in Dublin. Additionally, the tokens, houses and hotels reflect icons and styles from all seven continents.
it will be available to buy in stores around the world 8-26-08!! and on club Pogo 9-3-08! yay! are you buying it? are you looking forward to it?

Wow bunny, I had no idea! That is great! I want one! I love
monopoly. I would love to have one. I'm going to start looking
for it. Do you have any idea what the price is going to be.
I'm going to have to start checking the stores. I'm going to
have to see where it is being sold and who has the best price.
I bet it's going to be hard to get a hold of. It's probably
going to a big seller, especially for Christmas. I live in
NY so I know it's going to be a big hit here. I will do some
research and keep you posted. I would love to get one for me
and one for my Mom. We used to play it all the time as a
family game. Let me know any other information that you find
out and I will let you know what I can find out about it being
released around my area. I will do some checking in the stores
where I live. I am about 45 minutes from NYC so I will see what
I can find out.
