Monopoly board to be remapped

Hasbro is working on a major overhaul of the classic board game Monopoly: Atlantic City would no longer be the basis for the game. Instead, the "here and now" version would have properties voted on by the public. Needless to say, people in New Jersey are not happy, and they are starting an online petition.

DULLARD TAKE: Hasbro will offer the Atlantic City theme in the "classic" version, so this isn't a total abandonment of tradition. Still, for those of us who grew up learning the ways of slum lording by building cheap hotels on Baltic and Mediterranean, this does seem wrong.

DULLARD GAME TIPS: Buy the orange properties. They are in perfect position to zap opponents who are getting sprung from jail. Also, the railroads are a great way to drain cash from your rivals, and they don't bear the construction costs of other monopolies.
