Join us for a game of Monopoly!!

This puzzle isn't very difficult; but it is interactive & will require a little work on your part.

As a kid, my sister & I loved to play the game of Monopoly. Now we invite you to play along with us! I will be player one with the car token, she will be player two and has always liked the ship token, you can be player 3 with whatever token is your favorite. So get that dusty old game board out of the closet & play along for 10 rounds using the classic rules (no $ for free parking, no bonus $ for landing directly on GO). But first, a brief history of how it all began.

Germantown, PA, 1930. It was the Great Depression and Charles B. Darrow, an unemployed salesman, was looking for affordable entertainment for his family and friends. Remembering his past vacations to the seaside resort Atlantic City, NJ, he devised a game using the city's street names and railroad lines. It caught on rapidly among his friends and neighbors. Darrow knew he had a hit and he started making the game sets and selling them to local department stores. By 1934, the MONOPOLY board game had taken off like a freight train. Darrow couldn't keep up with the idea so he took it to Parker Brothers. In 1935, the company bought the rights to the game and Darrow eventually retired as a millionaire.
The MONOPOLY game quickly became America's best-selling boardgame and is now published in 26 languages and in 80 countries. An estimated 500 million people have enjoyed playing the MONOPOLY game from Parker Brothers. In fact, the latest facts and figures show over 200 million games have been sold worldwide!

Here is the original 1935 box.
