Monopoly Edinburgh Edition
Kate Ho
I was just wondering whether anyone has a copy of the
Edinburgh Edition Monopoly board. I need to get a list
of the properties on it - in order from GO, to the end.
Since I only need a list of it of the properties, I don't
really want to shell out 25 quid
just to get the list. If anyone could help out I would
be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Kate

I think that there are several versions - I remember one that had
Princes/George/Queens Streets as the Greens, and Charlotte/St Andrews as the
deep blues.

Am I the only person here who's refused to buy this product on principle
since it first appeared? I mean, if they want to distribute for for free a
box containing a sheet of cardboard, a few scraps of paper and some bits
ofcheap plastic in order to persuade me to sit for hours staring at their
advertising, then fine. But asking me to pay through the nose for the
privilege?
(But I hadn't realised they seem to change the streets included with each
print run according to the advertisers they've sold to.)

The street names used vary with the advertisers who change between
printings.

Maybe we should have an ed.general version of Monopoly, featuring:
Go to jail square: can be avoided if you have a compulsory ID card
Tenlf bs Trbetr Fg: If you land on their square, you can buy any
property you like.
If you land on any propeties belonging to fofp, you are shot and
eliminated from the game: however, fofp buys a property in case the
credit bubble catches him.
If you buy the Odeon, you can turn it into flats or a hotel
Landlords must complain loudly about anyone who has paid them rent each
time they pass go
Tenants must complain loudly about anyone they have paid rent to each
time they pass go
Men must wear ties while playing. Women can wear whatever they like
Randomly, a new player appears from time to time and wonders why none of
the properties are in Edmonton, then disappears after a while.

One of the players is a skateboarder, and is despised by all.
There is no skate park or Bristo Square on the board.

If only. To rid Edinburgh of this loathsome scourge of teenage angst and
bad dress sense, I think we should set up skateboarder traps.
It'd be really easy; just lay a few wide-open cages with rough the
Square with a nice, big, juicy poster of Avril Lavigne/Blink 182 at the
other end, and we'll have them all in no time. Thing is, what to do with
them once we've bagged them? Deporting to the Siberian Salt Mines is an
option.

Hmmm. I wonder what an ed.general board would look like:
* There's no Free Parking. In fact pay two quid for coming into the Zone.
* Go to Grays of George Street and buy repairs on all your houses.
* Victimless crime: Get Out of Jail Free.
* Community Chest: Get two pounds for every house from every player to
finance a pornfire.
* Chance: If you have the car piece, go back to Dalkeith Road. Do not
pass Go. Do not collect 200 Pounds. Everybody here hates cars.
* Chance: If you have the bicycle piece. Do not pay rent. The rules
don't apply to cyclists.

Turn them into speed humps?

But their nose chains would get wrapped around car axles.

And it'd just make them more depressed. Especially with heavy lorries.
