Vote to determine new Monopoly board

London, New York, and Paris are currently top contenders to replace Boardwalk in the forthcoming world edition of Monopoly.

However, democracy can change that. Vote for your favourite city (Vancouver) here until February 29.

Move over Pacific Avenue, hello Vancouver? Three Canadian cities are among 68, from Amsterdam to Zurich, being considered for inclusion in an international version of Monopoly to be launched this fall. Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, are fighting for spots usually held by the likes of Illinois or Pacific Avenue.

Starting this week, fans are being asked to vote on the company's website for the cities that should fill the precious squares on Hasbro's world-famous board game.

The 20 world cities with the most votes as of Feb. 28 will earn a spot on the board better-known for making Marvin Gardens a household-name. They'll be placed on the board "from highest rent property to lowest rent property" according to their voting tallies. That will determine whether Toronto and New York will be the new high-end Boardwalk or Park Place.

I took this photo right after I spent all my Monopoly Money getting Boardwalk and Park Place and four houses on each. I ended up winning the game. The first time ever I've won a Monopoly game.
