Classic Monopoly
Monopoly was one of my absolute favourite games when I was a kid, and I've been waiting patiently for my kids to get old enough to play it with them. And it seems every time we're in Toys-R-Us I see some new 'special edition' Monopoly game -- the Star Wars edition, The Lord of the Rings edition, the Batman edition, the Scooby Doo edition, etc.
But I'm thinking that when I introduce my kids to the joys of Monopoly (and then mercilessly reducing them to penniless losers), I'll do it Old School. So it's handy that one of the special editions Parker Bros. is going to release for the 70th anniversary is a re-make of the Classic 1957 Monopoly Game. I'm too young to remember this one -- my first game was either from the 70s or maybe I got a hand-me-down 60s version from one of my cousins -- but my kids won't figure that out for years!
