Art imitates life?
The first ever Dublin Monopoly board has finally been unveiled to the public following a launch in the capital on Thursday morning.
Over 30 Dublin landmarks feature as part of the iconic game, with the usual ladder of pricing structures in place.
Given the current property crisis in the city, the release of the game should result in much biting social commentary, you’d imagine.
Or perhaps the inevitable heated debates will instead focus on the likes of, ‘Wait, why is there a Freshly Chopped in there?’ and that sort of thing.
The full rundown of locations in order of board advancement and their relevant prices – in fictional Monopoly currency (M), of course – looks like this:
