New Monopoly Version
September 3, 2008
One of my other hobbies, besides being a myth enthusiast and a web developer, is playing cards and board games. Such games are not only entertaining; I also believe they can help us live better lives better improving our decision-making ability.
A few years ago, Hasbro released a new version of Monopoly called “Monopoly Here & Now”. It is a wonderful version that has adjusted prices for inflation and widened the scope to include top properties across the United States (the original game included only properties in Atlantic City). I have enjoyed that version, but I was happy to discover recently that Hasbro recently announced another new version called “Monopoly Here & Now: World Edition”. I recommend this news article, which includes details about all the new properties in the game: Montreal Passes Go To Claim The Top Spot On Global Monopoly Game Board.
I admit that my love of board games has taken a backseat to my love of myth and web development in my life over the past year or so, as well is in the current design of this web site. I have written about a few pieces of board game news here before, which are interesting reads if you haven’t encountered these particular stories before:
