Editorial Review: Product Description: Here's your chance to own it all with the world's most popular board game! Since 1935, the Monopoly game has been bringing families together to buy, sell and build in Parker Brothers' Property Trading Game. Whether you're creating new cherised memories or rekindling your youth... the Monopoly game is the classic favourite. Suitable for 2 to 8 players. Amazon.co.uk Review: Move over every other game ever invented and make way for the classic board game by which all others are judged. Monopoly is the absolute timeless family game. It's a game about strategy, chance, luck and ultimately about greed. Invented during the Great Depression in 1934, Monopoly has since been translated into 26 different languages and has sold over 200 million sets worldwide. It's a small wonder that most people have grown up with Monopoly. Monopoly, with its thrilling property-owning rules and objectives, is highly educational. For early Monopoly beginners of seven years, it encourages arithmetic skills. At the same time it teaches older players about money management, property management, basic economics, the art of negotiation and compromise (just how much are you prepared to trade for Mayfair). In many ways Monopoly also mirrors the lessons of life--chance and luck can throw even the best-laid plans astray, and if you 're not prepared to take the big risks you're unlikely to be life's big winner. Yet Monopoly is also great fun and for some reason its simple rules don't tire or become dull from repetition--truly the mark of a timeless classic. The only significant downside to Monopoly is that the full game can be a very lengthy event easily lasting hours. Monopoly can be enjoyed by children as young as seven years old and will still thrill a 97-year-old; it is suitable for 2-8 players. A perfect game of family fun on a rainy day, a long holiday or a cold winter night, Monopoly will probably be the most played board game your you will ever own. --Victoria Mackenzie Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best game everI find the naivety of the "I lost because I rolled a 4..." comment startling. I loved this game as a child and played it often, I now have children of my own and we play it. In all the hundreds of games I have played over the years only a very small percentage was bad luck the deciding factor in the game and I cannot think of a single game when a game was won because of good-luck. There is an element of chance in the game but there is far and away more skill and strategy than chance. Any player that is out because he rolled a 4 rather than a 5 had probably lost the game a long time ago and that was just the killing blow. Perhaps he had overstretched and was caught out or perhaps another player had risked his fortune ...

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. Rating: - Still successfull after nearly seventy years at the top.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 ... Read More: Rating: - Timeless ClassicMonopoly 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. Rating: - Monopoly!!!!!!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. |
