Insulae are Roman, and around 2000 years after these things were made.  Ancient Greek would be something like sunoikíai.  But this would be Mycenean, so who the hell knows.

What I want to know is how Subby is calculating the exchange rate between dollars and ancient drachma.


I guess you could say it's one of subby's many talents.

Could be a scoring system for another game. Like maybe a tournament of "Oware/Mancala" or the game of Mehen.

My Sober Alt: I've got hotels at the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus, 3 houses on the island of Lesbos and all of the gyros vendors which are like the light blue properties.


I'm going to call up one of the novelty makers to do a Romopoli set.
