Whereas the original Monopoly restricted players to the Atlantic City, the Monopoly Here and Now edition takes players on a sweeping tour of the entire United States. As they struggle to become the top money maker of the game, players can purchase properties such as Texas Stadium in Dallas, Las Vegas Boulevard, Times Square in New York, or even the White House. The traditional railroads have become airports such as JFK, LAX, and O’Hare. Participants will enjoy encountering these familiar names and places in the game. Additionally, the Monopoly Here and Now edition presents an educational aspect that was not available in the original version. The traditional Monopoly may have taught players all about different attractions in the Atlantic City, but this probably did not have much educational significance. Children can learn all about the geography of the United States as they play this fun and exciting game.

Even the playing pieces of the Monopoly Here and Now edition have received a modern update. Rather than the classic wheel barrow, iron, or battleship, players can now choose game tokens reflecting a piece of contemporary culture. One can drive a Toyota Prius across the game’s board. McDonald’s french fries, a laptop computer, and a Motorola RAZR mobile headset are available for choosing. The traditional Monopoly boot has been updated into a New Balance sneaker, and the classic dog has become the ever-popular labradoodle.
