My 9yo loves to play Monopoly with us. We've played it with him for years now including the jr and the regular and online version. But counting the money and playing banker is my least favorite part. This one is slightly more tech savvy but much more fun in my opinion. Plus doesn't go on as long. We all enjoy it and we did get rid of the Monopoly Jr version after getting this bc we know we won't be playing it any longer.
Okay, this is the best version of monopoly ever!!! My husband and I love this game because you can complete a game in 30 minutes to an hour. It’s a fast paced version of monopoly. We were very impressed with the banking device because it keeps track of money, rent due, and knows who owns which properties so very little thinking once you get the hang of the rules and game.
There is a lot of fun to be had with this game if you are one of those casual Monopoly players that want a different way to play while also having a great electronic banking unit keep track of all your money and property values for you. But there are some rule changes to some of the core mechanics and other new stuff to be aware of.
- You CANNOT trade properties with other players, unless game effects do otherwise. - When in jail, you DO NOT collect rent from others or raise the rent. It is a MANDATORY rule in this version. - There is no utilities or R.R.s in the game. There is a new go anywhere space if you pay 100. Doing this, you DO NOT pass GO. - Event cards replace community chest and chance cards. They vary in different effects. - No houses or hotels can be bought. Instead, you use a house on the property when purchased to track rent levels that increase from other players and even you landing on them. They also increase when all the properties of a color set is purchased, even if it's a split Monopoly. (Ex: Player 1 has two orange and player 2 just bought the 3rd orange. That will cause all the orange properties to go up one rent level. Two levels if it's a solo player monopoly.) and event cards that can also raise or even lower rent. - When in the negative, you sell your properties for face value to the player you owe money to. The rent level stays where it is. (If you owe the bank, it'll remove the rent tracker) - The game ends when ONE player goes bankrupt (indicated by a siren horn from the unit) and then totals up all player remaining money and property values. The highest amount is the winner.
Pros - Banking unit is very easy and fun to use. Keeps track of everything really well. - No need for a banker. Everyone can be involved. - Less game components to worry about losing. - Plays quicker than a regular game of Monopoly
Cons - Device will need batteries (3 AAA) and a screw driver to remove the battery door. - Only up to 4 players instead of the usual up to 6. - Mover tokens are a cheap plastic.
This version of Monopoly is really great for those who want to play a quicker game while an electronic device keeps track of everything for them in-game. So for the Monopoly purists, this is definitely not the version for you. But give it a try when you can. You may be surprised.
This new Monopoly game is better than previous ones. Quick way to play (not the boring long journey to win). A good way to introduce kids to electronic transactions and some real state. Love it!!!
El juego es algo complicado, en relación a los cargos y descargos de la tc, pero una vez lo aprendes a usar es bonito, todo es más rápido que en el tradicional, tiene nuevas reglas, la máquina de la tarjeta necesita baterías, luego en perfecto estado, en el tiempo correcto Mis adolescentes pasan jugando todos los días, dado que es más rápido de jugar, bien material, duradero
ottimo, funziona bene (attenzione io l'ho comprato in inglese perchè non c'era in italiano), se non conoscete l'inglese comprate la versione in italiano
