Product Description

Editorial Review

Monopoly has been popular for most of the 20th century. (How many games have that claim to fame?) Here's a Monopoly set for the next century, packaged in a nifty square metal box with signature character Mr. Monopoly on top. The rules are the same, but all of the game's components have clever new twists to celebrate the millennium. The board is made of silver holographic foil; the money is transparent; the houses and hotels have a new futuristic shape; and the tokens are little icons of turn-of-the-century life: a computer, a cell phone, an in-line skate, a globe, a jet, a sleek car, an all-terrain bicycle, and a dog (this time it's a yellow Lab instead of a Scottie). --Marcie Bovetz

5.0 out of 5 stars Currency Trouble, November 26, 1999

This review is from: Millennium Edition 2000 Monopoly Game (Board Game)

If you like the classic Monopoly, this is the same game, with a few upgrades that unfortunately aren't worth it. The Millinium Edition has a new style of almost transparent plastic currency that is difficult to read. If you hold a bill in your hands for only a few seconds it begins to curl so much so that you cannot read the denomination. Sure, the plastic is trendy and more durable but it curls up and won't uncurl unless pressed flat applying warmth. AND the shiny holographic surface of the board looks great, but try picking up the card stacks to replace a played card. The surface is too slippery. The only upgrades I liked were the new tokens and the stacking houses.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Monopoly to date., November 21, 1999

They'res so many Monopolys now but this one is surely the funnest to play. The board is really shiny and the houses and hotels are really smart, they glow on they're edges and you can stack them up. The money's a bit flawed, it can get creased very easily which is a shame because everything else is perfect. The best part has to be the new tokens, the boring old wheelbarrow has been taken away and in it's place are celphones and computers! A must have for Christmas and the best Monopoly in years

This review is from: Millennium Edition 2000 Monopoly Game (Board Game)

I like the changes that were made in some of the aspects of the game to give it a millennium feel. The re-styled game pieces (cell phone, etc.) were welcome additions. The houses and hotels were snazzy-looking. Some drawbacks: the play money is very hard to work with. Also, the tin that the game comes in is not as sturdy as it looks. I now keep the tin in the plasic casing it came it after it was dented (rather easily) a few times. Of course, there are some packing errors everyone is talking about with the dice (I didn't get any nice shiny dice as pictured on the outside of the box). Also, some of the cards were missing, and I had to get replacement cards from Hasbro (which came a few weeks later). I guess it's hard to make a Monopoly game that's going to satisfy consumers since it's such a beloved game, but, hey, if Hasbro is going to make it, they need to take extra care and do it right.
