The Game of
Photo-opoly
T he game of Monopoly has been
one of the best games to play for
any age and occasion. But sometimes
don’t you wish you could add a
personal touch to the game. Wouldn’t
you want to make your own rules and
change the picture of the old monocle-
wearing Rich Uncle Pennybags and
replace his with your own?
Well, now it is very much possible
to do that. The Photo-opoly lets you
personalize your game with your
own pictures. So now you can finally
dig into the old shoe box and use
those photographs somewhere. The
good news is that you can now play
the classic board game any way you
want, that is because you are using
your photos in it! Photo-opoly, it is
everything the original one was, but
way more awesome.
Use whatever photos you have
lying around. But by planning ahead
around a particular theme or occasion

and using photos to match, you can
make a totally unique game that
celebrates life’s particularly awesome
moments.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1 – Get your photos and use
the included glue stick and materials
to put them in the game in place of the
normal Monopoly real estate spots. Use
the included labels, or create your own,
to name your spots. (A sharpie’s even
included for writing)
Step 2 – Get the family together
and play! In no time flat, you will be
rolling your way to mom-and-dad’s
anniversary or reliving the glory days
of college.
Name Your Game!
Here are a few ideas (just be sure
to attach -opoly onto the end of it!):
