I won in Monopoly

[xt1me]

One of the uncles got the cork version of monopoly for Christmas so we played it today after we all meet up for our traditional St. Stephen's day meal.

There are two things I want to say about the game.

First: it's not actually a cork version of monopoly, it's a bunch of tourist hot spots in cork slapped onto a monopoly board. There aren't even that many cork streets in it, just locations. And it's all very politically correct.

Second: It has basic design flaw that I can't believe was missed. Of the four railway stations, (in this four transport areas; bus station, airport etc) three of the have photos of there respective locations and one has the traditional clip art train. Of the two utilities, one has the clip art of the light bulb and the other has a small photo of the location like the transport cards. HOW DID THEY MISS THIS? It has to be a mistake, there is now way they could have planned to make it so you can no longer tell at a glace what type property cards you own. It's stupid.

I honestly wouldn't recommend buying this, it doesn't feel like a lot of thought went into it. Your better off getting the original or making your own version. As a monopoly version of a city were you like it falls short.

Still monopoly is a fun game and is a classic for a reason so it's not like we didn't have a good time. It was getting late as we played it so we had to end a bit early so I don't know how fairly I won but I had the most amount of money and the most hotels on my property so I won by a comfortable margin. So I'm happy.
