It wasn't just spray paint and stencils...this was 3D.
This artist (or artists) bombed Logan Square and apparently other parts of the city throughout a few month period. When asked about the project by a journalist, Bored said, "the goal of this entire project has been to present something different than a stencil painted on the ground or a poster pasted to a wall. Something 3-dimensional that can be picked up, beaten down, kicked, yanked, grabbed, and broken. And if someone ever put forth the effort to remove it, like a weed it will always grow back. And if left alone it will evolve into something different."
Names on the property cards, Community Chest, and Chance cards were changed a bit to reflect the area. For example, there is no Albany Avenue in the real Monopoly game, but there is in Logan Square! Some Chance cards included real-word messages such as a Go To Jail card for "public douchebaggery" and a marriage proposal to a very lucky Carissa.
