There are a few product line-wide deviations from a standard Monopoly board that make Land of the Sky's games discrete. Aesthetically, this includes replacing the standard color scheme of property sets with a rainbow scheme (with Red being the lowest value, and pink being the highest), and renaming all properties and tiles, including those not normally re-themed in officially licensed variations and localizations of Monopoly such as the "Chance" tiles (usually renamed "Contingency") the "Go to Jail" tile (often renamed "Go Home"). Besides these aesthetic changes, the board layout is essentially identical to Monopoly except that the final "Contingency" ("Chance") space is swapped with the second to last property, separating the properties in the final color group by two spaces instead of one.
