Monopoly Disrespects New York, Turns It Into Indiana Avenue
If you ever needed a reason to not trust the collective will of the internet, here ya go courtesy of Monopoly enthusiasts: "In the online contest that began in January, both New York and London were relegated to the red property." A red property? With the rents we pay? Yup, crappy $220 Indiana Avenue where even a hotel only gets you $1.050 if someone lands on it. At least give NYC Marvin Gardens status. Montreal took the prime spot, Boardwalk, and Riga (Latvia) got Park Place. Even the dollar is replaced with some weird currency with a crossed out M in this international heathen version of the nostalgic board game. Jump for the full list of altered properties.
- Dark Blue: Montreal (Boardwalk), Riga (Park Place)
- Green: Cape Town (Pennsylvania), Belgrade (North Carolina), Paris (Pacific)
- Yellow: Jerusalem (Marvin Gardens), Hong Kong (Ventnor), Beijing (Atlantic)
- Red: London (Illinois), New York (Indiana), Sydney (Kentucky)
- Orange: Vancouver (New York), Shanghai (Tennessee), Rome (St. James)
- Magenta:Toronto (St. Charles), Kiev, Ukraine (States), Istanbul (Virginia)
- Light Blue: Athens (Oriental), Barcelona (Vermont), Tokyo (Connecticut)
- Brown: Taipei (Baltic), Gdynia, Poland (Mediterranean)
