It looks promising. I've never been a fan of the original game, or any of its spin-offs with the possible exception of Spaceopoly (or whatever it was called). I am a fan of Sim City however, and the setup of this board looks like it might be an amalgamation of the two concepts.
If that is in fact the case, I'd definately be willing to give it a try. My one disappointment already is that when I saw the title of the post, I was imagining more "streets" to give you more movement options, but I am willing to reserve judgement untill I see more on the game.
