The days when you could buy up Mayfair lock stock and barrel in real life for £400, as you can in the original London version of Monopoly, are either long gone or never existed.
Next month a new special edition of the 70-year-old board game goes on sale which reflects London's dramatically changed property landscape.
In the new version, out go most of the original destinations including the water works, Oxford Street and Bow Street, and in come hugely higher prices, the London Eye and Covent Garden, Notting Hill and Soho.
Those hoping to buy the most exclusive spots in the Here and Now! edition of the game will have their eye on Canary Wharf and the City rather than Park Lane and Mayfair - and they are going to cost a fortune.
In the new edition, the first ever complete makeover of the London game, Canary Wharf costs £3.5m, while the City will set you back £4m.
Of course, in reality buying up those areas would cost a hell of a lot more, but at least the new prices don't sound quite as preposterous as those in the original.
A study by Prudential in December last year found that the average house price of addresses on the original Monopoly board was now £565,269.
Phil Spencer, of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location said London had changed greatly over the last 70 years and property prices had risen to values never imagined in the 30s. He said: "We have seen particularly strong development in areas such as Angel, Islington, which languished right near the bottom of the ladder in the 1930s."
Angel, which is not one of the costliest spots in the 30s version, is knocked out of the new version by Hammersmith Apollo.
