@@gaz-atolla7519 I actually did this! In 2020, we had to recreate monopoly in a theme for my graphics design course. I chose pubs in Nottingham, because that’s where my school is. My teacher wasn’t too happy with me, a 15 year old, creating a pub themed monopoly with alcohol puns throughout my chance cards. I renamed it alcopoly (I know, it’s a weak name) and I renamed the chance cards to cue cards - because you play pool in a pub (I’m still proud of that) - unfortunately it was on my school account, and obviously because of Covid we finished early, so I never got a chance to move it to my personal account. Probably about 50 hours of work gone, not including my other designs like album covers, thousands of lines of code from my compsci course and also a few websites i designed. As you can guess I’m not happy that my college took away access to their server the day we left.

Monopoly runs are sometimes held around London. There are a few different versions involving either finding the streets or specific landmarks nearby. But in both runs I did, Old Kent Road was the most annoying. It is so far from everywhere else on the board and the landmark we had to find on my second run wasn't even on the road! It was down a side street (a painted ww2 tank, very cool once we found it).

Fun fact: Monopoly was actually originally created as a political game critical of capitalism called 'The Landlord Game'. It was made by a very progressive feminist in the UK in the early 1900s. She wanted to educate everyday people on the issue of income inequality she witnesssed and how those with wealth exponentially gain wealth at the cost of those underneath. She was pushing for fairer taxation, where the wealthy were taxed more in line with their wealth. As opposed to the poor working class bearing the brunt of the taxation, as was occuring then (as still does). She even made an anti-monopoly version where the players had to work together to win. The game existed like that for decades, played often informally. She never tried to make a lot of money off of it. Then in the 1930s or 40s it was growing in popularity... In classic American style, some Americans saw a chance to exploit it and its maker for money. They bought rights to the concept for next to nothing from her (knowing they were ripping her off) and blatantly lied to her about their intentions. Then they bastardised the whole concept, claimed it entirely as their own, and turned it into a money-making machine that made them very wealthy. And she got absolutely nothing and her contributions wiped out. Basically, the history of the game is pretty ironic. It started as a game critical of wealth exploitation free for everyone to play, and was turned into a game all about exploiting others by some greedy Americans who exploited and screwed over its creator.
