Park Places without
Boardwalk
Imagine a world where wooden tents and ranger stations replace
houses and hotels, and where wagons and bears take the place of cars and
dogs. Welcome to the National Parks Edition of Monopoly, ® a new twist
of the original board game by Parker Brothers (first produced in 1935).
Instead of traditional properties like Boardwalk and Park Place, in this
version you'll find Yellowstone, Yosemite, and 26 other properties of
the National Park System. The game board is divided into eight sections
that include Spirit of America, Early Cultures, The Earth Alive,
Hallowed Ground, Ancient Creatures, The Water's Edge, Nature's Great
Variety, and Majestic Landscapes. The makers and sponsors of the game
hope to promote this customized edition as an educational tool to
increase awareness and provide information on the national parks. | |
