Socialopoly Game
Socialopoly is a modern take on the classic board game Monopoly. Old Kent Road is now StumbleUpon and Mayfair has become Facebook.
Each of the board's features have been reinterpreted to coincide with the social media theme; the railroads are now operating systems, community chest and chance, now PC and Mac, and the player pieces have transformed from old boots and dogs into web browsers.
I'm Jonny Campbell, the student behind this little board game revamp. I hope to be releasing a limited number of Socialopoly board games over the next few weeks. Be sure to follow Socialopoly on Twitter to find out more.

Community chest and chance have been revamped
