Property values went up since the Depression

Cadaverous Pallor · 09-21-2007, 02:27 PM

Debit cards, new tokens, higher values.

No cash at all! I do like the new tokens, I have to admit, but I definitely have mixed feelings. I mean, you can't even do the free parking cash thing if you wanted to, nor steal money from the bank while the banker goes to the bathroom.

Heheh, that's awesome.

Meanwhile, this week's Time Magazine reports that, despite rising and sinking tides of real estate boom and bust, home prices were valued the same in 1990 as they were in 1890.

The Space Shuttle? I like all the other new tokens, but seeing as it's less than a decade from retirement, seems an odd choice.

Damn it, in editing my post I forgot to say this! I was totally gonna say this, I swear!

innerSpaceman · 09-21-2007, 04:04 PM

Yeah, that one struck me as a bit odd, too.

So who's buying this and when are we playing??

Yeah that one is bizarre. I think Altoids is a bit of an odd choice too. Ugh, those product placement marketing bastards are at it again.

Isn't there a horse and rider on the original?

innerSpaceman · 09-21-2007, 05:54 PM

It's a rocking horse, I believe.

Ghoulish Delight · 09-21-2007, 06:09 PM

There's an actual horse with a rider. But that's different. People still rode horses. Perhaps not as daily transport, but people still ride horses. Especially rich people, which is afterall what the game's about.

I'm not playing if I can't be the Westie.
