Not to play.
I'm sorry, I know it sounds callous of me, but I really cannot stand that game. If you ever find yourself in Walmart or Target and you happen by the toy section it's worth it to pick up a copy of Monopoly Deal. It's a Monopoly-themed card game that gets Traditional Monopoly's point across in a tiny fraction of the time it takes to play the former. And it costs all of $5.
Not to play.

To get a functional set of the original anymore requires eBay and about $200 (at minimum) so this should end up being a fraction of that. Figured you'd like to hear the news, my friend. As soon as I saw it I thought of ya!
Knowing Fantasy Flight Games, in the end you might have paid even more once they start churning out expansion after expansion

A good time was had by all!

My advice: If you don't have any strong emotional connection to this particular copy of Merchan of Venus: Sell it as long as it is worth as much as it is, then grab a shiny new copy for much less when the reprint arrives sooner or later (it is still unknown, who in fact, will, as the legal battle is going on in the background.)
