Advantages: Can end quickly, dvd makes it interesting, each person is allocated a character
Disadvantages: Not enough chance and community chest clips
This game is taking monopoly to the next step...
The DVD that comes with the game, randomly allocates characters to the players, which give specific bonuses to each player. The currency used is updated from the old game, the smallest note is £1,000.
When in the old games you would have houses, they are beach huts, and hotels are now resorts. There are also new buildings to buy for your properties: casinos, piers, restaurants and parks. The DVD decided the rent for these, based around the weather on the program, how many people are around, i.e. if a cruise ship has pulled in, and what features are to the immediate left and right. So, you could either get off lightly, if there is a storm in progress on the DVD and no tourists around, you would not get much of a fine landing on a casino or restaurant! But it could go completely the other way...
Community chest and chance are also given by the DVD, and generally follow a storyline. However, when all the choices have been used up, they are not repeated and they just stop.
Personally, I liked this game! (Even though I didn't do well and ended up bankrupt after landing on a casino and getting a £2,000,000 fine...) I like that it can end quickly, instead of going on for hours as monopoly generally does.
Summary: Overall, pretty good!
