Who knew?

That's how it shook out when the dust settled and the 22 cities in the first global edition of Monopoly, out next week, were announced earlier this week.

Above, the new cities and their colors on the board.

Three of the four railroads will be replaced by air, cruise and space travel options.

Huh.

"Take a ride on the Freedom of the Seas" doesn't quite have that same ring....

Iopii

The new version costs $34.99.
