No, there's no game involved, and no Chance or Community Chest. Instead, this is *your* chance to finally own a virtual piece of real estate! All you have to do is write a message here and open up a storefront. It doesn't matter what you sell (except that it has to be vaguely legal). It doesn't matter that no one will buy it. In fact, the whole idea is utterly inane! So...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
I'm using this message as well to open Fable's Tarot Parlor and Shooting Range. That's right: get in touch with the inner you, then work off that excess energy by blasting apart a few hamster brains. Fun for the whole family!

Wow...This sounds like my kind of place since I'm a Hippie by birth and a NRA Member by choice.
BTW Nice bead curtain.

Well then, I think I will be opening a bookstore... a bookstore of really old books, books from back before even Fable was around
...
Welcome to Zelgadis' Bookstore of Ye Olde Bookage! Old books are our specialty! Don't touch anything until you've paid! A cleric will open the cases if you wish to take a closer look, but only after a security deposit! If you so much as sneeze in my store, the bouncers will throw you out! Enjoy you stay. No pets or children allowed. Shoes, shirts, pants, gloves, and hats required!

Don’t fall for it guys! Fable’s setting up a trap! Run away while you still can! *Kayless tosses a box of Depend fable’s direction and scampers away*
Depend offers a full range of moderate to heavy absorbent products for incontinence that gives people the freedom to be active and independent. Our name means trust, understanding, confidence and self-respect.
