I, along with many others who have played Monopoly, have never heard or looked up a board game before I buy it. IMDB has a much bigger recognition, and doesn't seem as nerdy/geeky to the common person. That aside, games with dice, like Monopoly and Risk, are a lot of fun, because people realize that there is a chance element in their daily lives...they can have a great idea (landing on and buying Boardwalk) at exactly the wrong time (right before the land on somebody's hotel on Connecticut). I have played the new 21st century monopoly and by preserving paper fiat money, it was pretty fun, but the properties were not realistic. This new game with e-bank disallows any house rules (free parking to win other players' bank fees) and mess with the city street paradigm that made it fun in the first place.
