The rollout of localised and themed Monopoly boards was a genius sales idea for the makers of the game.  Residents of any dull as ditchwater commuter town can expect to purchase a board showcasing all their major landmarks, like Tesco Express, or followers of an aids-crippled band can expect to roll the dice and move their guitar around a board highlighting their gig venues etc.

 

I think it's time the denizens of the GF apply a bit of thought to the possibilities of new Monopoly board locations or themes.  So suggest a location or theme, perhaps throw in a few highlights from the board, but most importantly, what would be your 6 metal playing pieces to go with that game?  We know for example, that the old top hat has been replaced, and the Queen version of the game has a guitar, a fat bottomed girl on a bike, a vacuum cleaner etc.

 

What would be the 6 symbols you'd like to see included with your version of the board?

ok, I'll go first then.  

 

Board location:  Netherton.

 

Highlights:  well, not many to be honest, but Marian Square would be a highlight.  All four corners would be Jail, and the game comes with an ultraviolet light so you can check the authenticity of the monopoly money. 

 

The 6 pieces:  knife, gun, needle, lacoste trainer, onesie, Greggs steak bake.

if you'd said shit biscuits, I would've repped that twice.  Dogshit-coloured corrective shoes is right though.
