3.0 out of 5 stars A (sometimes) short game of Monopoly August 18, 2012

Chances are you've either heard of or have played the original game of Monopoly. For those few who possibly know or don't know better of it, it is a roll and move game which involves acquiring portions of the board in a bid to financially strangle others off it.

This edition of the Monopoly formula however is an attempt to adjust the game in which to address one of the ever present issues with a game of Monopoly, its game length. Immediately notable is the board which has done away with the railroads, the utilities, and the tax spaces. The next difference is during preparation of the board when cards are placed over each property. With exception of the occasional tile that forces you to auction off that property, most are there to make more purchases, steal properties to complete sets, and speed up building houses. The third difference is the money scale. Though it all looks like large lumps, relatively everyone actually starts with small amounts. The original game started you with $1500 whereas this one has you start with $372. The money differences are noticed further throughout play as properties aren't that comparatively cheaper which means properties on the high end are more likely to be auctioned off and the equivalent Boardwalk set is unlikely to be directly purchased in the first lap. The last difference in the game can be considered a rather significant one. The game has a set end goal, reach a Million (or $1000 in equivalent currency) to win. What this means is not everyone may have to endure the inevitable wealth vacuum that signals the end game in a regular Monopoly game for there to be a winner.

So it could be a shorter game of Monopoly. However, everything else that makes the game what it is for the last several decades the vanilla iteration of the game has been around. Buying, selling, trading, building, and bankrupting are all there. It can be a distilled experience depending how the game progresses though which seems to be the aim of this version. Whether or not you consider this game for you would be whether or not you thought Monopoly is worth playing. It may be a shorter drink but it still tastes the same and sometimes to some, it's how much exposure that matters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, more Strategic Twist on Monopoly November 5, 2012

By Miriam

Monopoly Millionaire is similar to Monopoly in a lot of ways - you move pieces around the board, buy property, collect rent, etc. However Monopoly Millionaire adds some new game elements that make the game a little more strategic and a little more fun. If you land on a property it must either be bought (by you) or go up for auction. Whenever a property goes up for auction, some bidding strategy can come into play - you can bid up the price, you can get a property for cheap, etc. Also, every property has a Fortune card at the beginning. Fortune cards throw in such curveballs as being able to steal another player's property, get a free house, and other twists and turns.

The goal of Monopoly Millionaire is to get to a million dollars first. I like that there's a set goal (so that the game doesn't last forever) and it definitely alters game play strategy. I found myself planning a property take-over and house expansion based on my Fortune cards. Another player would bid up the price of a property for auction "just because."

Overall, I really had a lot of fun playing Monopoly Millionaire. I think the new features give it a bit more "suspense" and a little more player interaction. I thought the changes were enough to make the game more interesting but not so much that I forgot this was a game of Monopoly.

I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review, but my opinions are entirely my own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Millionaire Monopoly March 14, 2013

By Jamal Muhammed

Millionaire Monopoly is supposed to be a fresh look at a classic. But it was more annoying than anything. Due to the fact that this was the millionaire version people started out with more money. Which I though was fine. But with the experience that I had when playing this game with a group of friends it turned out to be more chaos than fun. As fines were assess and properties were dolled out it didnt have the same feel as regular monopoly. People had to revert to calculator. What's 1,000,000 minus 75k. Or what is 10,000,000 minus 2.5 mil. The bank soon became a money changing table. I jokingly told my friend this game should be called monopoly third world edition. The money you are given is so high and the fines are so low it was a joke. My friend had to pay a 75k fine with a million dollar bill. My overall advice is buy this game and see if you like it but overall me and my four friends didn't like it because the fines were low and the money you were given is too high. The game wasnt as fun because everyone was trying to subtract large numbers in their head and the banker kept miscalculating. I feel the larger sums made the game more onerous because it caused more calculations which took away from the fun of the game.
