Hi Mike
The one RNIB used to sell was enormous but really accessible. But I just
played a normal game with my family growing up and knew everything off by heart
including colours, Community Chest and Chance cards, and values. The fight in
our house used to be who would be banker between my sister and brother. My dad
usually had to step in to stop the pair of them cheating! I am sure everyone
has a Monopoly story?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

John...the best properties to buy are the ones after the jail corner square and
near to Free parking, statistically landed on more often than Park Lane and
Mayfair.
Jackie, sadly the Cobalt one is American.
I've managed to cobble together lists of all squares and lists of all title
deeds, house prices, hotel prices, mortgage prices etc.
And lists of all the Chance and Community Chest cards.
So if push came to shove I could label an existing UK set, or maybe put a Pen
Pal sticker on each square and on each card.

Hi Ian,
You had better translate the Bairns for the Southerners! Smile!

Wow John, your friend s collection sounds very impressive. We ve had
since the bairns were young a Simpsons monopoly set (Not Braille
adapted by the
way) which has never proved problematic to me. I ve also recently
heard of a Game Of Thrones set which has recently come out which I
would love to experience.

Dear list,
Please use caution and avoid Monopoly sets based in different countries.
Going back many years ago I was on holiday in the USA and I went to
the shop in San Francisco selling goods for one of the American blind
institutions; I cannot remember which one. There was a monopoly set
there which I bought with great anticipation.
I could never really get on with it as all of the streets were
totally unfamiliar. That is, I always knew that Old Kent Road was a
very cheap place while the real ones to go for were Park Lane and
Mayfair. I did not know which properties were which colour and hence their
value.
There are many different sets of monopoly available in the sighted world.
A former colleague of mine collected them and had around a thousand
different sets.

Hi Mike
I believe Cobolt Systems does, but whether this is based on the UK
game I'm not sure.

Hello folks
I just did a search in the online RNIB shop for Monopoly, and of
course, nothing, since they now don't appear to sell more than about
half-a-dozen things.
Anybody got any ideas where I can get a Braille or otherwise
accessible version of Monopoly?
Mike
