Funny, when you first look at this commercial promotional board, you would think, "Hey! It's circular". However, they've made a rounded circular board from the past. I think the circular design was based on a Danish version of the game.

Wooden boards, boards with built in table legs, The Simpsons variation on the game, etc... http://www.muurkrant.nl/monopoly/collecting_monopoly_games.htm As far as putting that ugly monstrosity they call a credit card/ atm machine in the middle, I think they've could have done better job in making the machine look and feel "friendlier!"
