The game tokens are now a labradooble, McDonalds french fries, starbucks cup, laptop, airplane, toyota prius, new balance running shoe and a motorla cell phone.

...which means that McDonalds, starbucks, Toyota, New Balance, and Motorola must have fronted some BIG BIG BUCKS to this project!

"Unlike advertisers that typically pay to be included in branded-entertainment projects, the five marketers whose products are becoming branded tokens did not ask Hasbro to be included in the new edition nor did they pay Hasbro a fee, Mr. Blecher said.

Rather, he said, the company sought out the marketers because their products will help the new version offer “a representation of America in the 21st century.”

Sorry to stray from the topic so much!

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!
