Potteropoly Update - The Board and The Original


Here is a plain board I made in Illustrator based on the traditional monopoly board. You can right click it and save and print for yourself and write in whatever you want. It is already in CYMK mode and 20 in.  x 20 in.

So before I make my own monopoly, I thought I'd research what comes in the standard monopoly game so I know what I need to make. Here is what I found:

PIECES

20 in x 20 in board
16 Chance Cards
16 Community Chest Cards
22 Streets 
4 Railroads
2 Utilities
2 Six Sided Dice
1 Speed Die (Optional)

MONEY

The distribution of cash in the U.S. version has changed with the newer release versions. Older versions had a total of $15,140 in the following amounts/colors:
  • 20 $500 bills (orange)
  • 20 $100 bills (beige)
  • 30 $50 bills (blue)
  • 50 $20 bills (green)
  • 40 $10 bills (yellow)
  • 40 $5 bills (pink)
  • 40 $1 bills (white)
The newer (September 2008) editions have a total of $20,580, with 30 of each bill denomination. In addition, the colors of some of the bills have been changed; $10s are now blue instead of yellow, $20s are a brighter color green than before, and $50s are now purple instead of blue.
Each player begins the game with his or her token on the Go square, and $1,500 (or 1,500 of a localized currency) in play money. Prior to September 2008, the money was divided as follows in the U.S. standard rules:
  • 2 each of:
    • $500 bills
    • $100 bills
    • $50 bills
  • 6 $20 bills
  • 5 each of:
    • $10 bills
    • $5 bills
    • $1 bills
