Monopoly The Mega Edition by Winning Moves Games USA, a Bigger and Faster Version of Monopoly with the Speed Die for 2 to 8 Players, Ages 8 and up (1104)

Mega Monopoly Additions: One property of every color group plus one utility has been added to the board to make it a square of side length 13 (instead of 10). There are also a few new mechanics including a special third die, train depots, skyscrapers, and bus tickets. The special die allows you to roll and draw a bus ticket for later use or to roll a Mr. Monopoly which allows you to move to the next unowned property after you move the number shown on the two standard die. In this game you can build houses and hotels when you own all but one property in a color group, and can only build skyscrapers on a color group upon owning all properties of a color group. Bus tickets allow you to move to any place in front of your token on that side of the board in exchange for your turn. Gameplay: This version offers more strategy and less luck than the standard version of monopoly resulting in a higher level of interest. Overall this game is more fun to play because of the new mechanic of the Bus Ticket. This mechanic gives control to the player on where their next turn will take them. This allows players to get desired properties quicker and makes the game more exciting than the original. Aesthetics: Overall this larger monopoly board looks great and offers 11 starting tokens that are of high quality. The board folds up nicely and fits compactly into the box which is a little bulkier than your standard monopoly box. The new $1000 dollar bills are nice, and the houses, hotels, skyscrapers, and train depots look great. Customization: If you want to play a longer game of monopoly you could remove the mechanics which were added to the game by simply removing the "third" die. This special die contains one side to draw a bus ticket and two sides of Mr. Monopoly, which moves players to the next unowned property after completing your turn in regard to the two standard dice. Removing this from the game allows you to use the increased board size and starting funds without changing how the game plays in relative to classic monopoly. I have also attempted to replace the special die with another standard die. If you font enjoy the new mechanics they can be adjusted to address your issues. Personally, I remove some of the bus tickets when playing with 3 people because we often finished games before they completely ran out.

Super nice Monopoly, a little different with the fast pace style, other than that super fun.

My family loves this game. It helps my kids learn about money and banking. Competitive fun but easy enough the whole family participates. Beware: games can last hours.

Love it! The game is a WAY faster play. All 3 of us were almost bankrupt after about 4-5 rolls haha. Love it!! Highly recommend :)

Best monopoly version. Easily scaled up for groups of up to 10 if they added more bills.

We are Monopoly lovers and have at least 30 different Monopoly games. My son's new fiancee is also an ML, so I bought them this Mega Monopoly to try. At first, it seemed complicated so I let them figure it out. I joined in by the second game. The rules are slightly different and there are more properties as well as different cards (Bus, Mr. Monopoly) in addition to the standard Community Chess and Chance. I like the strategy involved, and I like the ability to be able to put houses on when a full monopoly isn't owned (most monopolies now require the purchase of four, not three, properties. Houses can be put on if only 3 are owned). It's not a short game, and true MLs might like it just for variety's sake. My kids (6 of 'em ranging from 13-30) aren't in agreement about whether they like the Bus cards, but the cards definitely add a new strategy to the game. The Mr. Monopoly (or is it Moneybags? I can't remember) also make the game move faster. I've decided I like it as a change once in a while. The basic rules are the same, so there isn't a huge difference. If you want to play without the bus or Mr. Monopoly/Moneybags cards, you can--so it's not something which has to be done. If you like Monopoly a lot, I'd give this one a fair chance. Don't just do what I did--look at the "new" rules and walk away. (I let my kids figure it out.) Play a few games of it. It's NOT complicated--I made it seem that way in my brain. It's fun with a slight twist. The only reason I didn't give it straight "five star" ratings is that the game would have to be "perfect" and I haven't found the perfect game yet. It is definitely educational because when played correctly, it involves a lot of thinking and planning. I didn't give it a five-star durability rating because it's Monopoly--the contents can definitely get bent and wrecked if the wrong people mess with it. This particular game is definitely up to the Monopoly standards--good quality paper, strong game board, etc. By the way, the board is larger than a normal board. We liked that!

We absolutely love this game! It is a refreshing and new approach to the classic game. Game does not go on forever like the old version and you still have "free parking" money.....lol

Thank you very much for the service, the product is perfect, exactly what is in the food, thank you very much

It is a fantastic upgrade to the classic game. Bigger board, more properties, a speed die. Great family game with quality pieces. We were 3 players and it took at least half hour to complete the one round to get $200 monopoly money. It was so much fun. Tip: Make use of the Bus ticket.

Muy buen juego, es entretenido y muy adictivo; aunque las partidas son extensas, siempre hay diversión.
