The very popular Monopoly board game has received the steampunk treatment, and with a little use of electronic components, the board has become more “active.” The modification adds a community chest that simply holds the cards, a water tower that lights up when a player reaches the water company, a steampunk train that takes a round every time it reaches the railroads, street lights for the electric company and a ray gun for chance cards.
It would be fun to play the childhood game in its new Victorian flavor.
