When the family is round for Christmas or Thanksgiving, or other shared events, do you ever get the old board games out for something to do to keep everyone entertained? If so, how long have those board games been there? Did they belong to your parents before you? Could they go back even further? The reason we ask is that even a basic game of 'Monopoly' might be worth well over one hundred thousand dollars, and we're not talking Monopoly money either. We're talking real cash!
The tell-tale sign that you may be playing a version of 'Monopoly' from the 1930s is that the board is oilcloth instead of cardboard. Well...that and the date on the box! If you are, then you've got one of inventor Charles Darrow's very first editions, and it's worth approximately $146,500. We hope you haven't lost any of the pieces over time!
