A Tesco. Another Tesco. A boarded up something, and another Tesco. That’s what you can expect to see in this ultra-modern version of Monopoly, which takes inspiration from the depressing lows of today’s miserable, recession-hit society.
Other highlights from the comedic interpretation of the classic board game include plenty of Poundlands, branches of Starbucks everywhere, and boarded up JD Sports warehouses. The Community Chest cards have also been updated, including a new take on the “Get out of Jail free” option — which involves moving to the Ecuadorian Embassy and staying there forever.

Oh the giggles I had reading this…
I would like this version very much, especially because of the Business Tax.
It always seems that my Top Hat has an attraction to Super and Income Tax whenever I play.
Ah, Gallows humour, nothing like it.
What really should happen, is after a few rounds on the board the bank suddenly goes bump and takes all your property and money.
You will then be forced to keep spinning, landing on any ‘owned’ property now means you pay money to the bank or its off to jail. There are also no more get out of jail free cards as the bank has all of them as well.
Now as you are playing, when you roll certain streets, you will not be allowed to land on them at all. These streets will have little walls and be gated. Instead you will have to stay where you are and learn your place.
That is until someone flips the board, punches the banker and everyone goes down the pub.
Half the board should be Tesco Metro
