growing up playing monopoly in the malja'a (bomb shelter)by candle light , is a quintessential lebanese expeience, people of a certain age group will remember well.
So naturally it was exciting when i
read that monopoly is making a new edition with famous city names on the squares.
You can choose from 68 cities, the 22 with most votes go on the board.
choose hereI thought beirut must be on the list, surely, I scrolled through , no beirut, checked again, looked closely between Lithuania and Latvia, Nothing!
i feel cheated , and as if to rub salt in my wounded city's ego, there at the bottom of the list was her nemesis, new and shiney Dubai.
maybe someone has wasta with hasbro and can put beirut on the list
as for me i wont be palying monoply anytime soon, it aggravates my ptsd.
