Editorial Review
In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, an unemployed heating engineer from Pennsylvania 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. --Gail Hudson

 Monopoly. A great classic. Love it! June 28, 2010

Monopoly is a great classic board game. It has some educational value, if you're going into finances or corporate psychology. But most of all, it's a lot of fun! It's one of those games that you just simply must have.
 What happened to just folding game boards in half? May 30, 2010

There's nothing to say about Monopoly that everyone doesn't already know, but why oh why does Hasbro insist on designing the board to fold twice? There's a permanent slit going halfway through the board to allow for an extra fold, so you can forget trying to play on a soft surface, and it looks awful. I wish I had bothered to find this out before ordering, because it really is a deal breaker, and the game just sits in a cupboard now.
In trying to cut down on space, Hasbro also made the lousy move of getting rid of the old money tray. It's now a flimsy plastic, with slots for putting the bills in sideways. I could possibly live with that, if the box could be closed with the bills in that position. Alas, the box isn't tall enough, so when you pack up you need to stack the money, then separate it into the slots when you're ready to play.
In short, a slightly wider, slightly taller box would have elevated this review from two stars to five. You got that, Hasbro?
great way to teach kids (or yourself) about money April 12, 2010
Mark Gray
This is a great game with a lot of real world lessons. I think it's a great way to teach kids about money management, although the same could be said for its affect on adults. This is a game that can take an evening, depending on how good everybody is, but if you're looking to move things along, a great way to do so is to pass out the properties randomly at the beginning of the game.
For those of your looking to upgrade your set, depending on how long it's been since you're seen a "new" Monopoly, some things have changed. The money colors have changed and a lot of the wooden or metal pieces are now plastic. More or less though, it's the same great game you remember.

Monopoly is a classic game that boggles your mind. It will challenge you from start to end, but it's really for ages eight and up. The pieces are pretty easy to lose, but you can still enjoy the game. The rules are fairly simple, yet they can get complicated. You can play the shortened version, the one without all the hotels and stuff. Even though it's pretty long to play, you'd enjoy it from start to end. I would suggest the new Monopoly (the electronic credit card version). That's only because the paper money is hard to keep up with.
