February 3, 2008 - The folks behind Monopoly, one of the most-played board games in the world, are now creating a "World Cities" version, where cities will take the spots currently held by Broadwalk and Atlantic Avenue!Voters can choose the 20 cities from a list of 68 that they think should make the board. Voters can also nominate their own cities, and the two with the highest number of votes will also be part of the game. That means that Walla-Walla could possibly be placed right next to London and Paris.
Because fans vote for their top 20, the leaderboard so far is a bit weird (Riga over Berlin and Amsterdam?). With Canadian cities, you might be surprised to hear that Montreal currently ranks #1 in the leaderboard, ahead of the "no-brainers" like London, Paris, and New York. Vancouver is currently ranked #13. Toronto is just out of the top 20 at #21.
Here are my votes for the top 20:
London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Sydney, Athens, Rome, Cairo, Istanbul, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Beijing, Rio de Janiero, Dubai, Madrid, Los Angeles, and Toronto (sorry Vancouver, but of course I have to vote for my hometown!).
Vote for your top 20 here and be sure to vote for Toronto so that 3 Canadian cities can make the board!
