Guide Review - Monopoly - America Edition
Boardwalk and Park Place are replaced by the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial; Chance and Community Chest have become American Places and American People; the pewter tokens include the Liberty Bell, the space shuttle, and apple pie.
The four corner squares are given new optional rules. For example, on Go To Jail you can try "the American legal system" by paying $20 to hire a lawyer; on Go you can forgo your $200 salary to travel to any non-corner square on the board. The America Edition is a worthwhile addition to the universe of Monopoly games.
