Passing ‘Go’: Classic board game gets a contemporary makeover

Baltimore – With more consumers entertaining themselves at home rather than spending money on costly evenings out, what better time to update the classic Monopoly game? The family entertainment favourite of buying and selling property has been given a makeover by Maryland Institute College of Art student Andy Mangold, who updated the packaging and game components with an appropriately classy twist. Mangold’s design covers the game box and assorted containers in cream and a luscious chocolate brown.

As increasing numbers of people look to the indoors for fun in a time of Homedulgence, manufacturers of board games and related family-oriented pastimes have a great opportunity to rekindle the interest in their timeless classics.
