Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition

This version of Monopoly is nice if you like the original board game as it's a fairly faithful imitation. The extra versions and boards increase the variety of play so you may get a little extra replay value, however the extras didn't really satisfy me as much as the original version did.

My only complaint is that there really don't seem to be many trading options, just direct cash and property trades so you can't bargain for reduced rent or things like you can in the real game.

Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5.

This game is excellent value. It is the World Edition so it includes boards from countries all over the world. Never gets boring! Collect $200.

Brings the board game into the digital age with out loosing any of the enjoyment. Once you start you won't be able to stop expect to spend a lot of time playing this one.

Great game, I rinced it for 1000GP's in about 2 days!

Despite the economy slowdown, it is great to know that $200 can still be collected each time you pass Go and that prices for properties, houses and hotels in Monopoly have remain unchanged. What the new digital version does is make the business of property management much easier. The moving of tokens, exchanging of cash, buying of properties and even going directly to jail is all automated. However, for the calculated land barons, the hours of bargaining and manipulation of homes around the board remain intact. For those who want immediate gratification, there is the Get Rich Quick version that replaces the time honored rules with mini-games.
