The Daily Mail reports that the Stones, themselves a 48-year old institution of sorts, have teamed up with the world's best-selling board game to celebrate the game's 75th anniversary.
The Stones have put their stamp on the new edition with street names like Mayfair, Park Lane and Old Kent Road being replaced by the titles of the band's most revered albums, such as 'Beggar's Banquet' and 'Sticky Fingers.' Houses and hotels have been replaced by gold and platinum records, while the traditional Community Chest cards will feature guitar licks and lyrics.
In addition, the four railway stations on the Monopoly board have been renamed after some of the band's major world tours, such as 'Urban Jungle'. Instead of playing with the Monopoly money of old, players will trade using concert tickets, while the makeover is topped off with playing icons -- traditionally a dog, a ship, a top hat and so forth -- being replaced by figurines of wild horses, drum kits, devil horns and the Stones' famous 'tongue and lips' symbol
