I'm getting used to the Here & Now Monopoly, but it was very strange at first.
There are no more railroads, they are airports now. The utilities are now cell phone and internet service. All the properties have changed ... you can now buy Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver, Disney World, The Grand Ole Opry, Las Vegas Blvd., etc.
And the money is crazy now ... it goes from $10,000 to $5,000,000! And you have chance cards like, "Get a tax break for driving a hybrid" and "Go to jail for identity theft."
My kids actually like it so much more, though. It makes so much more sense to them.
And I apologize for hi-jacking this thread with my Monopoly story! 
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
