Carbondale-opoly
Finally got this in after a number of requests. We were bemused to see the store listed as one of the spaces on the board, given that no one ever contacted us about it. We are not complaining of course, since we like the increased awareness.
This is the first Carbondale boardgame published in at least 25 years. There was a Carbonopoly game available back in the 1990s but it has been unavailable for years. It would be interesting to see how many businesses on that gameboard are on this one.
