[The video flicks on to show Patty, grinning from ear to ear and holding a colorful box in her hands.]

Ahoy, Luceti! Who's up for playing a board game tonight? I found this beauty in the store today! [She gives the box a loud shake, then flips it over to read from the back.] "The world's number one game has gone global! This world-class Monopoly gameboard has you traveling to cities across the globe." [She breaks off for a moment, turning her attention back to the camera.] I'm not sure which globe they're talking about. They mention Africa and North-America, so that's Earth, right? I'm pretty sure it's Earth... [Her gaze moves back down to the box in her hands.] "You'll cross six continents before you pass Go. Get ready to wheel and deal in the millions of dollars with your own Monopoly credit card and a digital banking device that keeps track of your balance."

Sounds exciting, right? Says here I need two to six players, but you have to be older than eight to play, ya know. Might be too scary for the littlest kids. [She puts the box down on the table and lifts the lid off, then fishes out the board itself. One hand grabs the journal to adjust its angle after she's unfolded the board, so she can show it off.]

This looks pretty complicated. It even comes with tiny little houses! Anyone who wants to help me figure out how to play is welcome! I'll make hot cocoa if you bring your own snacks, ya know.

[Emil scrutinizes the box and the board for a moment, before...]

... that doesn't look like the Monopoly boards I've played with before. And I didn't think it had a credit card, either...

Then... You've played Monopoly before? You know how it works? [... Creditcard and differences in the board aside. They can figure that out later.]

Yeah, they have a version of it at the rec center. That's why I was confused-- this one doesn't look like the version I've played. That one had a board that was a lot plainer, and no weird machine that went with it.

Well... Maybe this version is better! More new and more complete!

It did say "across the globe," right? That's probably what it is. I think the one in the rec center is just supposed to be in one city. No wonder you don't need as much money in that one.

Just one city? Booo, that's not traveling. The best kind of journey is the one that takes you across the world, ya know.

I thought Monopoly was more about building lots of houses and making money than it was traveling, though.

It is? But traveling is lots more fun than making money, ya know! Building houses is just plain boring unless you can decorate 'm, but it looks like they're too tiny for that.

I don't think you're supposed to decorate those houses... they're too tiny to do much of anything with, except maybe drop on the floor and step on by accident.
