Monopoly: Tropical Tycoon
Tropical Tycoon is a modified version of Monopoly that incorporates new rules, new pieces, and new winning conditions. It uses a DVD (required) to generate random events.
In addition to beach houses (houses) and resorts (hotels), properties can be developed with Casinos, Parks, Restaurants, and Piers. The rent for the Casino is pure luck, but sometimes the owner has to pay out to the visitor. Parks don't garner much rent, and what rent they gather is based on the weather, which can change with every Chance or Community Chest event (the Park's main benefit is its worth in Fortune Tokens at game end: A Park on Gentle Sands is the equivalent of four million dollars cash at the end of the game).

Piers' rent depends not only on the weather but also the presence or absence of a cruise ship, which is also affected by the card events. Finally, Restaurants' rent is dependent upon the neighboring property improvements. There are very few of these developments, though, so the competition for them can be fierce!
