After World War II, the original Cannon token was replaced by the Howitzer-style cannon and the boot was retired for the Horse & Rider. This set can be identified as being produced in 1946 as the phrase ‘Reg. US Patent Office’ is underneath the title. The next print run used ‘REGISTERED’ instead of ‘REG.’

Payoff Table

Free Parking – Monopoly Spin-off

Released: 1990

Each player has a parking meter which must be fed time. This time can be used on errands, which earn the player points. The first player to achieve 200 points is declared the winner.

However, if a player has no time left on the meter and another player uses a ‘Warden Jones’ card against them then they receive a penalty and must return one completed errand card back to the pile – loosing its points value. A ‘Warden Jones’ card can be cancelled by a ‘Talk Your Way Out Of It’ card.

During each turn, a player can optionally draw a ‘Second Chance’ card – these can be good or bad, but must be played immediately.
