Brixton in new Monopoly game!

[colacubes]

Dark blue surely has to be Trinity Gardens!

 

[ChrisFilter]

Green should be 'Poet's Corner'

 

[clandestino]

Ok, cool. So, so far, we have:

Brown
Light Blue - CHL
Purple
Orange
Red - Brixton Hill
Yellow
Green - Josephine Avenue, Poet's Corner
Dark Blue - Trinity Gardens

I reckon Acre Lane's either a Purple or an Orange
Brown for Rushcroft Road? Or Light Blue?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

The new board is shite... totally against everything the old monopoly board stood for.

And what exactly did the old board stand for Were there some strange unexplained political undertones perchance, or mystical lay lines that revealed the sixth secret of Fatima? Or you just being a grumpy old man?

 

[clandestino]

I take it Hollis is referring to the original Atlantic City board. I had no idea until recently that Monopoly was invented in America.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Green - Josephine Avenue, Poet's Corner

Brown for Rushcroft Road? Or Light Blue?

But Poets Corner is full of rich bastards. Shouldn't that be purple?

 

[Hollis]

The inclusion of Brixton with all those Walt Disney style tourist attractions is entirely fitting.

 

[Hollis]

And what exactly did the old board stand for

Proper roads, proper street, proper stations.. not contrived shite for tourists.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Is there any Free Parking left in Brixton these days? That square would need to be an NCP car park now....

 

[clandestino]

But Poets Corner is full of rich bastards. Shouldn't that be purple?

Have you ever played Monopoly?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Have you ever played Monopoly?

Well OK, the purple is the most expensive property isn't it?



























Actually, haven't played Monopoly for years and years and years

but Mayfair and Park Lane were purple weren't they? Or is it dark blue?

Shit, I really need to dig my monopoly board out

 

[Hollis]

Well OK, the purple is the most expensive property isn't it?

Dear oh dear.

 

[clandestino]

They're dark blue! It gets posher as it goes clockwise from brown pretty much.

 

[colacubes]

Ok, cool. So, so far, we have:

Brown
Light Blue - CHL
Purple
Orange
Red - Brixton Hill
Yellow
Green - Josephine Avenue, Poet's Corner

Rushcroft is probably a light blue just. Electric Avenue is a brown though

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Dear oh dear.

Dear oh dear indeed.

Please enlighten me

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Dear oh dear indeed.

Please enlighten me

it's simple, Monopoly is about...

Proper roads, proper street, proper stations.. not contrived shite for tourists.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

it's simple, Monopoly is about...

I consider my hand well and truly smacked

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

I consider my hand well and truly smacked

Don't get him started on Cluedo

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Don't get him started on Cluedo

Oh, I used to love Cluedo.

Professor Plum, Mrs Scarlett(?), Colonel Mustard, Mrs Peacock, ??? Green, er, the vicar(?) parson? forgotten now.

*scratching head*





















It's been probably 25 years since I played that

Light Blue - Coldharbour Lane, Rushcroft Road
Purple - Railton Road

I'll leave your suggestion pending for now gg eek: )....!!

Twelve more locations to fill...

Two utilities - Brixton Rec and Town Hall? Be nice to get Brockwell Park in there somewhere.

 

[PacificOcean]

Being Brixton - all the places should be brown. Shakespeare Road being a particuarly murky shade.

*runs*

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Orange - somewhere where there's lots of Irish

 

[Kameron]

WAIT WAIT WAIT! Hold on a second. How in the name of living fuxk has The SUN been re-branded a Utility replacing Water Works on the new Board?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

WAIT WAIT WAIT! Hold on a second. How in the name of living fuxk has The SUN been re-branded a Utility replacing Water Works on the new Board?

Solar Power?

But that's NOT the new board.. it's last year's board... *shakes fist and dice*

 

[gaijingirl]

Solar Power?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Windmill = Wind power

Waterworks - Hydro power
