"For the past 70 years, millions of Americans have tasted the thrill of 'owning it all' by playing Monopoly," said Matt Collins, vice-president of marketing for Parker Brothers, in a press release. "The new Monopoly: Here & Now Edition allows aspiring real estate tycoons to enjoy an elevated game play experience that more closely matches today's America."
Since 1935, more than 250 million copies of Monopoly have been sold in 80 countries and 26 languages. More than 200 different editions of the game have been published, but the most popular continues to be the classic "Number Nine." Affectionately known by its original product number, "Number Nine" is based on the streets of Atlantic City and is nearly identical to Charles Darrow's original submission to Parker Brothers.
