Customer Rating:      Summary: Monopoly - one of THE greatest games Comment: I remember playing Monopoly as a child with my family. One of the best things about the game is that it reestablishes true "family time" in a modern world where the typical family no longer sits down to eat dinner together. Our Monopoly games would sometimes span a couple of days and we would wait with great excitement for our Dad to say it was time to resume playing after the dinner table had been cleared. Well done to the makers for bringing out an updated edition featuring modern London landmarks. I shall be playing this version with my children in years to come...but will still be keeping the original for the nostalgia.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Still successfull after nearly seventy years at the top. Comment: There cannot be many people in the English speaking world who havenot played or atleast seen a box containing a momopoly set.
At present it has been printed in 34 different languages and as the basic rules are within the grasp of most people from single figures to triple figures.
Looking at the rules you would think this was a game of chance really desided on the luck of the dice but this game is played at championship level and if you know the odds of how the dice may land its almost possible to win every time aslong as you know what properties you need to buy.
I have a book written some years ago outlining the properties that you will land on no matter what you throw.
As you may have gathered the most expensive properties in Green and Purple can and easily be missed several times.Those Orange,Red and Yellows may be a little cheaper to develop but you are guaranteed to land on them far often with dire consquences if they have been developed.
By the time your opponent has landed at Park Lane or Mayfair you may be out of the game.
Monopoly can be played by all ages and the fact that Speers games have kept the price down over the years must say something about its popularity and sales.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Timeless Classic Comment: Monopoly is the best-selling board game in the world. In the game, players roll the dice and may land on properties. If so they may buy them. If another player lands on already owned property they must pay rent to the owner. Rent can be increased by building houses and hotels. Sometimes players will pay taxes, receive rewards and even be sent to jail. The aim of the game is to bankrupt your opponents. The game is excellent fun for older children and adults alike. It has a good balance between luck and strategy. An absoulte must-have for every family.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Monopoly!!!!!! Comment: Well, board games are very easy to use, take it out of the box, pick your characters, set out your money, roll the dice, move a square. Its so easy to use and you still catch the fun aspect of the game. But its especially great if you are playing with friends over or if you are at a party. Quite hilarious too.
I guess the reason why it gets a 4 stars is because the bits can go missing easily and it isnt really that educational. Other than that, great fun for big audiences or friends and whats better than having fun without no cables, no electricity and no break down? It is so safe yet so simple. You should not be missing out on monopoly at this price, BUY IT.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Monopolized a lot of my spare time when I was a kid Comment: Monopoly is a classic game where the players take the role of property developers and can buy cheap property such as the pairing of Whitechapel and Old Kent Road or go for the 'creme de la creme' pairing of Mayfair and Park Lane. This game demands more than the lucky roll of dice and one tactic is to buy all the 4 stations as well as water and electricity works. I gree on the educational value of this game in that it is a prelude to basic economics as well as the art of negotiation. Come on then roll the dice or Go To Jail !
