• And The Canadians Rejoiced:
  • The world board contains three Canadian cities (Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver) but only one American city (New York).
  • The Monopoly Streets video game edition features a "Landmark City" board, where all the properties are named after famous cities from 8 countries (Mexico, Spain, Germany, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and France).
• Game Breaker: The game has a very limited amount of houses, because the players are supposed to upgrade their houses to hotels, returning the houses back to circulation. The rules prohibit building more houses when all the houses are on the board. This makes it a very profitable strategy to buy lots of houses without ever upgrading them to hotels, as it prevents the other players from buying any.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Do Not Pass Go, do not collect $200."
  • "Get Out of Jail Free" Card.
• Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Being that it's been the best-known and most commonly-played commercial board game in the Western world for nearly eight decades, it's probably not too surprising that a lot of folks have gotten a little sick of Monopoly by now. Check in at BoardGameGeek.com sometime to peruse the litany of complaints that many folks have with the game.
