3.0 out of 5 stars Fashionable, but miniaturized!, November 2, 2008

This review is from: Monopoly Game - Special Silver Onyx Edition (Toy)

I purchased this elsewhere, and was way disappointed when I opened the box to find practically everything TINY! We're talking money (and not enough of it for a REAL game) the size of business cards, property deeds/cards smaller than Post-It notes, Chance & Community Chess cards like a book of stamps, and houses/hotels you could fit in your ear. Ironically, the darn dice are huge, which is silly since the playing surface of the board itself is pretty small. Buyer beware, as always.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Special" Edition? I think not., March 31, 2009

Bought this from Borders for 90 bucks (Christmas vouchers ;), as I figured it was time to get a nice, big, deluxe monopoly set.

Never have I been more disappointed. The board is smaller than the regular, fold-out monopoly board. The cards are smaller, but the worst feature is the tiny, cheap, single sided money supply, of which there is not enough to even distribute the starting cash! This version even comes with different allocation rules to make up for it!

We didn't even make it twice around the board, before giving up - its cheapness being so infuriating. You just feel stupid holding the tiny notes.. Monopoly is all about holding wads of cash. The Onyx edition doesn't deliver.

For monopoly lovers, this is pretty much the same as the original version. The only difference is the size. For some reason, they made this edition teenie tiny! And the pricing in Amazon is ridiculous. I mean when they say Special Silver, is it real silver and onyx? Aside from the size and price, the colors are amazing (go Raiders)! Try Barnes and Noble for a cheaper price...
