I didn't see the NC State one I have on the Wikipedia list. So there probably is a Cary Monopoly out there somewhere.

Maybe it would have beige houses, SAS Institute, Bond Park, shopping areas, Koka Booth (drawing of him would be on the Chance cards)...and the game pieces would be SUVs.

One house would have SCREWED BY THE TOWN OF CARY, scrawled in tiny letters on it.

What else?

Big-box stores instead of hotels, of course.

Can you imagine the "Community Chest" cards?

"Fined $1000 for overgrown shrubbery"
"Fined $2000 for chain-link fence"
"Fined $500 for balloons displayed on mailbox for birthday party"

Granted, Chapel Hill's could be much worse (I live in CH!):

"Pay $5000 for school taxes"
"You are assessed for street repairs - pay $750 per house/$1800 per hotel"
"Pay $10000 in parking tickets"

Add to that a fine for keeping chickens and an $25,000 fee for ripping out your well which provides free well water and providing city water.

We haven't lived here long, but every time I go past that house I think...Man, I'll bet there's an interesting story behind that!

I think instead of the corner that has "go to jail", they should put Crossroads in there since every time I go into that plaza I inexplicably take a wrong turn end up funneled onto the highway and end up miles away from where I thought I was going.

Good call on Bond Park. Since there are so many incredible parks in Cary, we might have to replace the traditional railroad properties with Bond Park, Marla Dorrel Park, North Cary Park and Hemlock Bluffs. Own them all and extort your fellow players at will!

My grandparents had a version for Fayetteville. We thought it was pretty cool as kids.

LOL, some of these ideas are funny, especially Crossroads being "jail" and the "screwed" house!

Yes, and there *is* a railroad line in Cary. But I'm seeing the cards saying things like "Painted your house blue! Skip a turn!" and the playing pieces could be a Honda Odyssey or maybe a Prius; an Ugg boot; a Goldendoodle pup....
