I have reason to believe that Monopoly is a universal game, it has been published in several different languages and in different edition/ version. My sister even bought (by mistake) a Spanish monopoly and has been constantly teased by my daughters about it. Anyway, before I completely transported back to memory lane, what Id really like to tell you about is this 18 karat gold Monopoly board that was sold for $2M dollars. I wouldn’t be surprised if they soon come up with a game version that requires real money wherein you can purchase real properties.

Toys. They are not just for kids but also for the kids at heart. Some want toys that they can really use and play with while some want toys for their collection. Either way, toys sole purpose (I believe) is to bring joy to everyone. Do you think there’s a difference though? Does the happiness a toy can bring depend on how much it cost? Well, to each his own and happiness shouldn’t come with the figures is my personal belief.
