Obviously advances in Technology have improved the board dramatically, and as much as I like the cheesy patriotic approach with our massive flag and pictures of landmarks in these cities, I think its too garish.

No one wants to have to pull out a pair of sunglasses before they play Monopoly at Christmas!
