Monopoly ... created the game of Monopoly. Realizing that his get-rich theme might appeal to other Americans, he had the game printed and distributed in a Philadelphia department store. When he couldn't keep up with the overwhelming requests for more sets, he arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. And the rest, as they say, is history. But Monopoly is far from a quaint historical relic. To this day, it remains a riveting game of luck, chance, and savvy wheeling and dealing--all of which can make some lucky dog rich, rich, rich! Based on the purchase of Atlantic City real estate (a city currently renowned for its get-rich gambling opportunities), Monopoly is now printed in 26 languages with more than 200 million sets sold worldwide. Players still scoot the same beloved board pieces: the old shoe, the terrier, and the hot rod. This set also includes rules for a shortened version of the game and a new token, winner of Monopoly's recent "design a token" contest. This is capitalism at its most fun and ruthless, a must-have edition in the family game closet.

 ... family gatherings as it is fun with more people and can take up a long time as well as being one of the more fun board games. Now there is a credit card version of the game which I don't think is as good as it stops you playing with all that fake Monopoly money, but can be good as it is far easier to put away when you are done. The credit card version of the game can cost around £30 but for the classic version is available for £10....more

Premium Review Monopoly: Finally - I'm A Champion! (1102 words)
by - written on 03/03/08 (Very useful, 81 readings)

Monopoly is the greatest board game ever created! It is so much fun to play and quite strategic, meaning luck doesn't win you the game! Luck may well help with the roll of the dice; however you need some tactics in order to beat your opponents. Monopoly can get pretty competitive but is always fun to play! I used to be terrible at this game and whenever I played with my brother, I always lost to him! Having recently played with him a couple times, I managed to win both times and have improved greatly! Monopoly is a game where you will progress around the board buying properties you wish to if you have the money. If not, you can mortgage current properties and ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Monopoly: Classic Edition (560 words)

Monopoly is one of my all-time favourite board games from being a child. I remember playing the game when I was younger with my family, usually a Christmas time when everyone got together. The game is fun, although if it lasts for ages and ages as it sometimes can do, it can get a bit tedious! The idea of the game is to make as much money as you can until everyone else goes bankrupt. The original board game consists of famous streets around London, including the famous railway stations such as King's Cross. Player's can buy property land, as well as houses and hotels to gain more money from Player's when they land on their property. One player is ...  Read the complete review

Monopoly is one of my favourite memorys of being young, The fun I had playing it with my younger brother was to no end and to this very day I still love getting the chance to play one of the best and most well thought of family games ever. I was learnt to play Monopoly at a young age and became addicted to it Its as it is such a well constructed fun game, In fact I dont no anybody who hasnt got a Monopoly game I cant praise the game enough for all the years of enjoyment it has given me. Well I havnt got anything bad to say at all about this game and am wondering if I even have to explain about what you do and what pieces come with the game as it is ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best known games of all time and as such I'm not goig to waste time going into all the ins and out of the rules of the game other than to give a brief overview. The objective of the game is to progress around a board and to buy up property depending on which square you land on. When you own a property you can charge other players rent if they land on it and if you buy a whole street you can add houses and ultimatley a hotel which increases the cost if people land on it. The objecive is to bankrupt the other players. The one problem with this game is that it can take a long time to play especially if you have a few players, ...  Read the complete review

I used to play board games when I was younger. Monopoly is probably the only board game I still play regularly. I have 3 friends with whom we meet to play a good play, and do some wine tasting too! Monopoly is a game where you compete agianst up to 6 players in building your own portfolio of properties. It is not the kind of game you can play in 30 minutes, some of our matches have lasted more than 10 hours! There is a mix of luck and strategy involved in this game. The luck is surely a factor at the beginning of the game, where you are handed some properties to begin with and then you throw dices. Depending on where you land, you will ...  Read the complete review
