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
Great buy always a great choice. This is a great game I have played over 500 times. I have played it with real money (had to tell the goverment why I needed so much money from the bank) that was great as no one wanted to pay up. I have played this with people all over the world (nepal, India, Japan) and they all think it is a great game. I would first look over all the vertions (paixar, navy, coffee...) as mabe it has a topic you are into. Buy this game if you do not have it already one.
Great toy It's still great toy for modern kids to get them interact with relatives and friends without computer
Monopoly I enjoy playing all versions of this game, (except the card game. That one is lame.) It is a fun, and entertaining classic board game. I think I will always like playing it.
satisfied with my purchase This is the original version of monopoly. Although house and hotels are plastic, the board game is solid and so are the cards and money.
Very highly recommended
Fun game/reminder of my childhood This is a fun game with reminders of my childhood included. It's nice to have a family game without electronics or new rules to learn, which so many of the games I grew up with have these days. Monopoly still teaches counting and money management skills! There is a new twist - the speed die, but it's optional. The speed die helps you move the game along quicker in case you don't have a full day to spend at the game table.
