Disney Monopoly

Maybe I have been surrounded by children for too long or perhaps I am just trying to make excuses for myself, but as time goes by I seem to enjoy Disney more and more. So when I was out shopping for a gift for a couple of friends and I spotted this special edition of Monopoly I could only resist it for the shortest time before I caved in and got my money out. I should tell you that I have always enjoyed the traditional game and have many happy memories of time spent playing this as a child with my siblings and parents and then later with my own children. Now my foster children love to play and I encourage them as I feel board games are good for social ...  Read the complete review

The original version of monopoly was created in 1934, during the Great Depression. This Disney version was created in 2001, almost 70 years later, which shows that monopoly is such a timeless classic. There are so many different variations of monopoly on sale these days that I'm sure most people own/have owned at least one version. I know I, for one own several different versions, because even though you are playing by exactly the same rules, as there are different places, characters etc it feels like a totally different game. And that is the beauty of monopoly, even though it is such a well known and well loved game, every time you play it will be different. ...  Read the complete review

I got my Mum this version of Monopoly for Christmas a few years ago. She loves Monopoly and Disney so I thought “I can’t go wrong”. My Mum did love it and as she already had the original version it started a collection. I think they, (Hasbro), have recently changed the Disney edition so it now includes a fold out Disney castle in the centre of the board but the version I have does not include this so I will be not be commenting on that. --£-- Monopoly --£-- I also won’t go into the ins and outs of Monopoly: Briefly it is a board game for 2-8 players of ages 8+. It has been a popular game for decades and now comes in many editions. The ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game as both my children love Disney and as I enjoyed the classic Disney films as a child I thought it would be something we would all enjoy. The version that I bought is the new one with the pop up Disney Castle in the center of the board. There is actually 3 Disney Monopoly's available, the one pictured above, the Diney/Pixar version and the pop up castle version. I can only comment on the version that I pesonally own but I gather they are all pretty much the same with different board and playing piece designs. I doubt there isn't a person alive who dosn't know how to play Monopoly, it is the world's most popular board ...  Read the complete review

Disney Monopoly is great for kids (and big kids!). I got this game for Christmas a few years ago and loved it! It retails at about £30, which I think is fairly reasonable in terms of the price of board games generally. The character pieces are Disney characters instead of the usual Monopoly pieces and all the places are Disney films instead of the usual London streets. It's mostly exactly the same as standard Monopoly in that the game play is carried out the same, the board layout is the same, it's just the details that are changed to be Disney themed. Instead of the normal houses and hotels, in the Disney version you get Snow White ...  Read the complete review
