Monopoly Fans!




The classic game of Monopoly, created in 1935 by Charles Darrow, has been morphed into more than 100 different genres. As an avid player, also known as "the hat," I decided to do my research and seek out a "top five" list.


5. MAKE-YOUR-OWN-OPOLY: Construct a custom made board game by using just a pen and scissors or produce a production quality board game by using your PC and any simple color printer. Just think of the possibilities...

4. NINTENDO-OPOLY: Now you can buy, sell and trade your favorite Nintendo characters for a whole new game-playing experience.

3. NIGHT SKY MONOPOLY: Become an astronaut for an hour or two! Move around the game board as you purchase comets, planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies and build observatories.

2. GHETTO-OPOLY: Tasteless? Offensive? Maybe. That won't stop me from buying it. Instead of houses and hotels, ghettos and projects are built. The railroads are substituted by liquor stores, and the boardwalk becomes a strip club. I dib the piece of crack rock as my piece.

1. TRIOPOLY: Triopoly adds exciting new dimensions and game-playing strategies as players build financial empires across three different levels. You gotta see it to believe it! (Below)
