Conceptual modern re-invention of the classic board game, Monopoly
With a focus on more vibrant colors and the game's Atlantic City roots.
The colored borders correspond to each player’s color and drawer. Slotted drawers pull out of each side to create a space for the player to hold their money and property cards, instead of tucking them precariously under the game board.
To tie in more of an Atlantic City bonus, the rolling dice have been replaced with a miniature slot machine. When the lever is pulled, the machine spins to reveal two dice values. As an added bonus, the roll might occasionally include a Community Chest or Chance icon, allowing the player to pull a card with their turn.
Community Chest and Chance Cards:
These cards feature large-scale illustrations and bold typography. Due to a recent campaign to upgrade the outdated captions, these cards each feature new modernized and inclusive scenarios.
Property Cards:
Since buying real estate should be exciting, the property cards were given new life, with bright colors and a sleek design. The original cards were weighed down with superfluous text, whereas these new cards communicate only the necessary information, using simple iconography.
As a way of encouraging players to go for a full monopoly of properties, the cards are designed so that when laid out in order, each set forms a letter in the word, “Monopoly.”
MONEY:
Each bill of monopoly money is marked with a famous figure from New Jersey and the Atlantic City area. While the front resembles a more vibrant rendition of a standard bill, the back has a short bio about the figure depicted.
All money can be stored in the sleek “banker’s vault.”
Figures depicted:
Meryl Streep, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springstein, Danny Devito, Queen Latifah, John Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston.

Not only is the game fully self-contained, but the game spaces are lined with magnets to keep game pieces perfectly in place throughout the game. The middle section lifts up to reveal a storage area for all elements of the board. The game contains a "banker's vault" to store the money, a velvet bag for small pieces, and spaces for the cards and mini slot machine.
