International Monopoly

Saw this on Peter David's blog. The Wild card voting is still going on, but personally the choice of what cities go where shouldn't be up to Monopoly fans. At least not for this first international edition.

For anyone who doesn't want to follow the link, there is an international version of Monopoly in the works, with people voting on the Internet what cities are on the board. the top vote getters are at Park Place and Boardwalk, and there are a couple of wild card spots open, which will take the place of Baltic and Mediterranean avenues.

As I said, it shouldn't be up to the people. It should be based on economy. that is how it was in the original. New York is the 5th richest city in the world, so it should be where Pacific Avenue is. Zurich is the richest city on the planet, so it should take the place of Boardwalk. If they want to have fans chose the cities, do that with the next edition.
