Advance your hot-air balloon token to Greystone; do not pass "GO"; do not collect $200. And so it is with the game of Monopoly: Napa Valley Edition, the classic real estate trading game in a customized version that successfully melds wine critic Robert Parker with Parker Brothers. Game play is the same as the traditional version--buying, selling, and collecting rents on properties and enhancing their value by erecting various structures--but on this game board it's vineyards and estates (the Napa version of houses and hotels). The low-rent properties Mediterranean and Baltic become Caymus and Dunn, and Boardwalk and Park Place give way to Beaulieu and Beringer--yet for some reason Free Parking and Go To Jail retain their 1935 graphics. --Tony Mason
