Details

Bilingual Belgian edition of the Dutch equivalent "Van Dom tot Dam". Kris De Keyser of Hasbro-Belgium announces that this original version of the Belgian variant was specially released "for the benefit of the Clini Clowns", in a limited edition. The motto for the 70th anniversary of this game for all countries was "What would Monopoly look like if it were invented today?". Some countries use this motto literally for the title of the game, such as France with "Et si Monopoly était inventé aujoud'hui?", While the Netherlands translated this very freely into "Van Dam tot Dom". On the lid and the midfield of the game board is a compilation of famous buildings, of which the Atomium is of course the most famous. But, central is Mr. Monopoly in his red car with the striking number plate "Mr. M70". For this edition, the old streets have been replaced by new ones from both Walloon and Flemish cities, with those from Brussels of course bilingual again. The amounts have also been made "contemporary". That is why you will not receive € 200 on Start, but € 2 million, so a factor of 10,000 more. But everything is of course correspondingly more expensive: The purchase price of a station became eg € 2 million. Each property has a photo of the street in question.
