Cool New 3-D Buildings
Monopoly City is exactly like classic Monopoly in lay out, rules, and gameplay--roll the dice, move your character around the board, and try not to spend too much time in jail or go bankrupt! However Monopoly City has also made several neat changes, with newly named properties, new monetary values, futuristic buildings, and new playing cards.

Whereas with the original version of Monopoly Park Place was one of the most prestigious properties to own--with Monopoly City you will be striving to acquire a permit for the fancy Fortune Valley. The buildings are modern and 3-D, and the currency has much higher values, ranging up to five million dollars--no small change here!

Instead of property deeds, you acquire permits for the zones you'd like to build in, and this latest version also includes an electronic trading unit, making it possible to hold "public" or "private" auctions for your properties and districts.

Learning Important Values While Having Fun
Monopoly City is not only fun for your kids and the family, but it also teaches important lessons and values about money--including the work and planning that goes into building their own dream city. We also like that this board game includes several new fun features like the electronic trading unit and updated cards. Long-time Monopoly fans will find these new twists fun and interesting. And for those who are just learning how to play, the game is certain to become an instant hit.

What's in the Box
Game board, six movers, buildings, 22 District cards, 25 Chance cards, six Reminder cards, one Rent Dodge card, two dice, one money pack, and one trading unit with instructions. (Batteries not included.)

great update & expansion for Monopoly

Review Date: September 21, 2009

Reviewer: art 87, LA, Ca USA

after many years of Monopoly play, the old version has become tired & somewhat boring. this update & makeover makes Monopoly interesting again. at first, the new pieces seem complicated, but once u get into the game, u can see the basic Monopoly game in there.

the ability to buy houses/hotels which are now buildings & skyscrapers right away without owning the whole color group makes the game start up quicker. the new hazards & bonus buildings add an extra dimension for play as well as the new twist for railroads.

the new beeper/timer also adds fun & the expanded layout & taller buildings add a nice new visual element to gameplay.

my only gripe is the print on the deed & chance cards is rather small.

but overall, a great make over of an old favorite.

Great Game, a few areas need to be improved

Reviewer: Marc, USA

The game has the same basic idea as the original Monopoly, but adds several different buildings to make the game more challenging. I have played about 15 games and had a few complaints...

1) We ran out of houses every single game. We used some from the old Monopoly to compensate

2) The instructions aren't very good. There were several times when a situation came up that wasn't even mentioned in the booklet.

Great new monopoly version

Made Me Want to Play Monopoly Again

Review Date: March 29, 2010

Reviewer: tterb45, north american continent

This version of Monopoly uses a timer to limit game play time. Brilliant move!

Endless play-time to finish the original version of the game had discouraged me from playing; 3+ hours on one game was way too long for me. The timer limits you to one hour and gives you warnings when you are getting close. I don't dread the thought of starting a game anymore.

Thanks to the manufacturers for making Monopoly enjoyable for me again!

Great game
