Nice. Great Christmas gift for the kiddies.

This stuff and these types really have to be stopped - like top national security priority NOW.

You're exactly right to compare this game to Monopoly. As a teacher years ago, I was encouraged to invent board games, an idea I rejected, favoring instead real lessons in planting things, observing change and writing down our observations, with measurements. These radicals believe that game their righteous response and "education for children" to combat the "capitalist demons" of the Boardwalk, Park Place and "do not pass go, do not collect $200." I remember making up my own rules playing Monopoly with my younger sister, before either of us could read the instructions. We then used the play money for a grocery store downstairs in the tv room, where my mother 'paid' for empty cereal boxes and we used an old play cash register. In my pretend Monopoly game, all the little red and green houses were set up on the locations from the start. I wanted people. Just by the way, we also had a religious game called The Road to Jerusalem. We rolled the dice to get to Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum and Gethsemane. There were no little red and green houses. I think the pieces looked like robed prophets.
