Taking a Closer Look at “OKCopoly”

This weekend while I was rummaging through a second-hand store in the metro, I came across a gently used copy of “OKC-opoly.” For those of you who are either new to the state or flat-out uncultured, there was a craze about 10 years ago when cities from across Oklahoma were commissioning custom Monopoly boards for their townsfolk, and Oklahoma City was no different. As if regular Monopoly wasn’t bad enough, now metro families had the opportunity to create decade long grudges over the sucker who gets to buy the State Capitol or Bricktown. Not only does a lot of the board seem outdated, but I also think the creators could’ve done better at reflecting Oklahoma City culture in the first place. I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at the game, and offer some changes in case they ever want to update it...
