At first glance it looks to me like gill sans, "national typeface of Great Britian"

Best answer: Nope, don't seem to have it. Looks really similar to Kabel and also quite close to Geometric.

Best answer: err... The second result for a google search for monopoly font says it's Kabel Heavy.

If you look closely though, I don't think it is. The "s" is different. Could be the angle of the photo, but I think it's a custom font based on the previous fonts mentioned. Kabob seems decent enough clone

I hate myself for being so picky but you (and many others) are using the term font when you mean typeface. Explaination.

Actually, I don't hate myself at all...
