Monopoly: Temkalogia
Hookah Place by Smokkin · a bar in central Grodno · 25 Sovetskaya St. · courtyard entrance
A tongue-in-cheek redesign of Monopoly for post-Soviet business life: instead of streets you trade in connections, schemes and hustle. Players buy up property, upgrade it and bankrupt each other while the board keeps throwing in absurd twists.
