> Anyway, she collects Monopoly boards. When we lived in Europe, we took the opportunity to pick up English, German, and French boards -- which are interesting, because the property names are all different (in the English version, St. Charles Place is Pall Mall; Atlantic Avenue is Leicester Square; Boardwalk is Mayfair; and so on), and the monetary denominations are adjusted by a constant factor to compensate for the difference in the respective nation's currency. (It's great playing Monopoly with 50,000 franc bills.) The Chance and Community Chest cards in the German and French versions are a great way to give those rusty foreign language skills a workout.

THEY CHANGED BOARDWALK? How dare they. All WE corrupted was their language. This is hardly so dismissable.
