Who needs a Monopoly board game when you have the real thing: CP, Central, King Power, ThaiBev etc.

Be aware that there is two (2) versions of this game marked ‘T’ & ‘F’

 

‘T’ is the standard version without add-ons.

 

’F’ version has property prices double of those in the ‘T’ version. In addition to property prices shown on the board, each property is subject to further payment of ‘key money’. It should be noted that property purchases are only valid for 30 minutes. Following the 30 min period the purchaser loses the property.

 

The games board designers are still to finalise a number of issues, such as the naming of the railway stations and at what intervals both ‘Water Works’ and ‘Electric Company’ will be out of action during the playing of each game.

 

 

????????????????????????????????

I heard that some of the playing pieces will change. The long retired boot will reappear in the flip-flop. The little Scottie dog becomes an indeterminate breed Soi Dog. The Battleship of the original game will become an aircraft carrier (possibly a submarine, decision is not yet made).

 

The long retired the thimble, and wheelbarrow, which were replaced with the penguin and Tyrannosaurus will be replaced with Rolex wristwatches or similar. Although there is sentiment that the Tyrannosaur should stay. Keep watching this space.

The wheelbarrow replaced by a tuk tuk. Gotta see this one!

Well, if they want it to be successful they should have the cabbies run it. 

 

They are used to monopolies.
