NewYorkOPOLY

Start spreading the news--there's a new board game and it's, like, a totally fabulous New York experience. Everything that makes the Big Apple the center of the universe is in this game--Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, massive traffic jams, and more. Like Monopoly, this game for two to six players starts with everyone receiving a stash of cash. With a roll of the dice, the players round the board, landing on various landmarks like the World Trade Center, Carnegie Hall, or the Bronx Zoo. When you land on a property, you can opt to buy it, trade it, or pay rent. Two kinds of wild cards, Big Fun and Contingency, spice up the competitive action. Anyone who owns large blocks of property can build a skyline or, when it's fully developed, trade the buildings in for the key to the city. For those poor souls who exhibit poor financial judgment, there's always the option of a mortgage--if the IRS doesn't get them first--to keep their dreams afloat.
