To boot, it’s all made out of paper, making it accessible for anyone who wants to build their own Mushroom Kingdom set. Of course... Continue reading

Rich Uncle Pennybags is very pleased with this new Monopoly set designed by Andy Mangold. Look at the packaging, the card holders, the lines of hotels and such; it’s quite the work of art.
