Do you mean the political incorrectness of showing stereotypical black Africans? — JIP | Talk 14:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Danish game board and rules by Brio

The version marketed by Brio in Denmark differs in a few respect to what is described in the article.

Re political correctness: The only human depicted in the board has brown skin and perhaps arab features, rahter than stereotypical negro features.

Re pices: The horseshoes are replaced by visa.

Re rules:

  1. The notes are worth 1000, 5000 and 10000 - but below, I'll put a parenthesis around the extra zero.
  2. The initial sum given each player is 500(0), not 300.
  3. The "blind passenger" rule: If robbed on an island, after sitting over one round one can take the boat for free. The move-max-1-or-2-rule is not mentioned.
  4. When arriving at a city, one can turn over the piece - either by paying 100(0) or by throwing a 4, 5 or 6 - already in the same turn where one arrives at the city.

I wonder if these differences are specific for the Danish version?--Noe (talk) 14:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
