On a winter evening in 1935, the board offered a city in miniature without asking anyone to leave the table. Streets became color bands, deeds became crisp certificates, and every landing became a decision: collect, trade, or wait.

That clarity was not accidental. The title deeds made ownership legible from across the room, while orange chance cards broke the rhythm with a flash of uncertainty. The result still feels generous because its rules are visible: nothing hides behind a soft corner or a vague promise.
