The game:
This game of inland make can of course not so easily been read
by a non-Slovene. However it will become clear that the (oval!) spaces of the
game board built groups of cities, small
states, countries and even islands,
like:
Purple: Lichtenstein - Andorre
and San Marion.
Brown: Monte Carlo - Cannes and
St. Tropez.
Red: Simbabwe - Sambia and
Nigeria.

Jamaica.

Kittsbühl.

Airport and Orly.

with an illustration of a clown in the centre with the text Dobrodsli v

The game:
During the second half of the nineties Parker has with great energy introduced
this capitalist game in the former "East bloc" countries. Also in the
states who formerly were part of Yugoslavia. Slovenia was the first to become
independant.
In this for the rest of Europe so well-known "standard" box is
naturally the red plastic "banker's
tray" with holes for the 7 banknotes and property deeds still present with
the banker.
The game board is folded in four and fits, when stored,
precisely on the banker's tray. The back of the board is as usual red,
the playside is blue green. This
edition is "Izdelano v RepublikiIrski" and therefore it shows the
picture of the "laughing family" at the bottom of the box.
On the game board the PRILOZNOST cards with nice red
back are as usual near the Start corner while the DRZAVNA BLAGAJNA
cards with their nice blue back
are near the Free Parking corner.
The banknotes are of the one side printed new model, i.e. with
a black MONOPOLY ribbon and Uncle Pennybags in the upper part of the circle and,
almost invisible, the remark "1996 Tonka Corporation". The currency is
SIT and the denominations are resp.: 100 (purple)
- 500 (dark pink) - 1.000 (yellow)
- 2.000 (green) - 5.000 (blue)
- 10.000 (beige) en 100 (light
red).
The 10 tokens are of light metal and are the well-known: hat -
shoe - car - boat - dog - wheelbarrow - rider-on-a-horse - thimble - iron and
canon. The green houses
and red hotels
are of not transparant plastic and have all an overhanging roof with an
excentric chimney.
Both dice are white with black pips.
