Japanese Monopoly


The English version of Monopoly can be found at Toys "R" Us and a department store named Isetan. We decided to buy the Japanese version in case neighborhood friends want to play. This is called the designer version. There have been other versions available here. (Check the link below.)



This is what the center of the board looks like.




"Go" is "Go" on the Japanese board. The spot with the "thumbs up" is called "Challenge". The spot with the heart is "Chance".




All of the money came in a stack that was glued on one side. The picture was taken at night under a "warm" light (not fluorescent) so it's yellow.




Different colors of ink were used instead of different colors of paper.




These are the tokens. As I remember, they are the same in the United States version of the game.
