Columbus Monopoly : Discover Columbus

Discover Columbus

May. 26, 2006 - Columbus Monopoly

A list of Monopoly Games. If Dayton Ohio, Rockford Illinois and both Madison and Waukesha County Wisconsin have Monopoly versions, surely Columbus Ohio has one. The three places I have lived that are not on the list are: Akron, Columbus and Green Bay.

There is a Green Bay Packers version on the list though and an OSU version. There has got to be a Columbus Monopoly game. I am sure I have seen a Columbus game at the airport. Privately manufactured? Hasbro now has a lot of the images, etc from the Parker Brothers Game copyrighted.

OSU Mathematics seriously smart people back in 1995 about Monopoly:

"This is a probability problem. Moves in Monopoly are (almost) a Markov chain. The reference is: Ash & Bishop, "Monopoly as a Markov chain", Mathematics Magazine, vol 45 (1972) pp. 26--29."

I saw the Monopoly list on Grow-a-Brain so had to check if Columbus Ohio, the best known Columbus (according to Wikipedia anyway) was on the list.

My friend managed to get it direct from the Lions in Columbus.
They do pop up on eBay, but not often.

I do collect monopoly sets and I have over 500 sealed editions and quite a few open editions.

Contact me via my website if you want to chat more / for more information.
