Ok I admit we play lots of more modern board games in our house (like Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Carcassonne and Forbidden Desert) but we still have some fun with Monopoly. And I cant imagine many people who haven't played it, so it wont be easy to make this review new and interestingThe 2013 set comes with the new cat piece, which is quite sweet, and pretty much everything else is what you would expect. All the cards and money feel a bit small/flimsy to me but the player counters are metal and the whole game is typically about a tenner on Amazon, so that seems fair. The full rrp of £17 seems a little high (to me at least)We have played the adult Monopoly (this 2013 and previous versions)with our children since they were about 7 after migrating from Junior Monopoly. And we all have fun. We tend to play 'quick and dirty' with a few house rule variants to speed/liven things up (see below if you are interested). The kids have learnt to manage money/counting/sums, negotiation skills, strategic decision making and experimenting with new rules (and the consequences) - admittedly with some with prompting from mum and dad - so there is some educational value in the game. The game has 2 normal dice and a red 'speed dice', we mostly prefer/use 'normal dice' but the red dice makes for a bit more speed/luck.Taking Monopoly on its own terms it is a perfectly agreeable family game (in my opinion), it isn't a game we would play lots of and probably wouldn't be our first choice for an adults only game - 3 stars seems too harsh so we give it a (generous) 4 for being an adaptable classic.. . . a few house rules if you are interested (or haven't tried changing rules yet: all fines etc go on to free parking to keep more cash in the game (does anyone not do this?), no purchases on the first round the board (or until all players have passed 'Go' once (or twice!)); each property is auctioned to the highest bidder as it is landed on (3 or more players and its ruthless!), no rents can be collected in jail; game ends when 1 player is bankrupted and the winner is the one with most cash (or more usually asset value); being allowed to build on properties without owning the set (stated rents with houses are halved until the set is complete) is good fun too

Well it's a monopoly board with the original streets and stations and it comes with all the cards and money. But - and it's a big but for me. There are NO POUNDS SIGNS! A generic M (presumably for 'Money' or for 'Monopoly' which is a word not a currency!) with two slash lines through the M is used instead. Presumably to make it a global edition for all currencies. However one of the great things about a game like this, is teaching your children about money and we live in the Uk and have pounds - I want our boy to learn what a pound sign is! I expected it to be fairly cheaply made when it cost £12 ish, and it's ok - the board is reasonably thick and hard. The detail is a bit basic.But it's ok - except for the awful M's for money. It might be generic but doesn't mean anything to anyone - I would rather it had a dollar or euro sign if not pounds! And we have London streets and stations so we want english £'s. That's what it looks like ££££££!!!! Ok - rant over. I'm off to look for a better edition. I looked at older versions on ebay but found the nostalgia edition in a tin from John Lewis for £19.99. It has £ signs. It seems to be the same as the nostalgia edition that comes in a box (ie slightly smaller board, smaller cards and smaller money) but the boxed nostalgia edition has the proper green trains on the stations and not the black US looking trains. So seems to me the nostalgia edition in the box is the best one - has the right trains and £ signs - but not available new except at extortionate prices. I can live with black trains so will keep the edition in the tin but the money is very small so may buy the basic monopoly again, just for the full sized money!

I bought this just before Christmas so that my partner and I could play a few games as we both had fond memories of playing this classic game as children. It brought out the competitive side in both of us - but gives of hours of fun!I considered whether to give it four or five stars as I was slightly disappointed with the quality of the player pieces which I think are cheaply made and slightly poor quality, but as this is my only minor gripe in the grand scheme of things I decided it still deserved five stars (would've given four and half if this were possible).I love the addition of the speed dive which I had not seen before (having only played with a board made in the 1980's in the past).This enables a game to be played much more quickly as it seems each move becomes an effective move that advances the game. I haven't yet played with the speed dice as I like the traditional game and don't mind at all if the game takes a long time to play as we sit and drink a glass or two of wine and enjoy it. But I think it could be a great tool to use the dice if one has children who want to play but insufficient time to complete a full game.

As a game it is really fun to play with friends and family (even if you're playing only 2 people). I had Monopoly before, but it was with an electronic card system, which required batteries.You have good amount of houses and hotels to build on your streets, 8 figurines to choose from, and compact packaging. It shouldn't take up a lot of space.The quality of the product is excellent, but I would like to have card or plastic money banknotes, because at the moment they're from paper, and can be easily torn (I have an idea of laminating them afterwards,s othey last longer).However, I would recommend you to buy this product if you enjoy playing the game. Most of the people I know really like to play it,but you should definitely try before purchasing for yourself.Happy playing!

It's been at least a decade since last I played and there have been both improvements and compromises made to this later version of Monopoly Classic.On the plus side, the inner packaging design makes it easier to seperate the bank notes and the property cards and the board folds up to a fourth of it's capacity, making the box easier to store. There's also a new feature in a speeded-up option using extra dice.On the downside, the game pieces aren't as good a quality as in the original version - a bit rough around the edges. But this doesn't really detract from the overall enjoyment of the game which is still as good today as it always was if you prefer interacting with family & friends as opposedto going solo on a PC version.

Ahhh who doesn't love a game of Monopoly?!I used to play this for hours on end with my parents as a child. I loved it then, and I love it now, but my Mum's old 1980's board is on its last legs. I have purchased this for my daughter (well, more for me!) so she can have as much fun playing this with me as I did with my own mother.There are a few little differences between this and the older versions, but nothing too major. The place names are the same, the objective is the same, but the money seems thinner, cheaper, and some of the playing pieces have been changed, I assume to be more modern.We haven't played our first game yet, I need to find a day where we have 7 or 8 hours free!Hours of fun for all the family!

This traditional, classic board game is wonderful. Up to 5-6 players can easily play it and it will provide hours of fun. Though it does not have any of the fancy new instruments, for example a credit card machine, in my opinion this makes it even better. As someone who grew up plying monopoly with my family it is one of the few board games that I believe everyone should have in their house. It will cause competitive sides to rise, deals will be made, which only causes the game to be more thrilling. Also there is something quite satisfying when holding a big pile of fake cash in your hands! Since this is the British version the streets and properties of London are used.The quality of this game is superb!

Generally speaking the quality of the product is quite good. However, there is one part which I wasn't really satisfied with: The paper what's used for the money is really thin and weak. I was working in printing industry for years and I know that choosing a stronger paper - which can stand children's hands - would raise the cost of the game just by a few pennies... After using it twice the money started to be worn off. Adults are able to be careful with this but children can't control their movements yet, so it won't stand the test of times for long, I'm afraid.Anyway, all the other parts are really good and the game itself is enjoyable, of course, even for adults :-)

I bought my first monopoly board some 40 years ago and kept it in great condition for 30 of those years. However, I needed a replacement and this was purchased for my kids. All kids want to do nowadays is play on their consoles/ipads/phones and that really doesnt lead to any interaction, so this was really aimed at weaning my kids off their devices.To be honest, I have to say that this has been fantastic. My kids have had some really mammoth games and I have enjoyed playing with them. The best part has been haggling with them over property deals - they've become ruthless!Overall, a superb classic that you will play again and again.

This is just how I remember the game being in my youth. The box, pieces, board, cards, money are all top quality.Good instructions, interesting game play and potentially a very long game. My two sons and I play and they are already addicted - ages 7 and 6. Teaches them all kind of useful skills for life and explains the concept of owning and renting too as well as some great practical maths.The introduction of the quick play dice is also a great idea and gets the game going fast.Yes, thankful for this game and it's not causing too many fights either...

This version of Monopoly is the classic original version of the game, without many of the franchised children's characters from movies or cartoons. It is exactly how I remember it to be: competitive, fun and intensely practical to help prepare kids for their future financial affairs. Not for the faint-hearted (if everyone is playing seriously) and it is likely to reveal a person's real character and propensity towards wealth, possessions and debt! Highly recommended for family and friends alike.

Having spent many hours as a youngster playing this game, I brought it for my two children (7,14) It's the usual set up, one player being the banker, rolling doubles gives you another go, going to jail etc!We've spent hours playing it, and it's great for family time, although the odd argument did flare! One thing I don't understand, why have they introduced another dice?? I didn't bother to find out what that was about, the classic game is still the best and doesn't need to be messed with!

This version of monopoly has a great compact box design with everything fitting nicely in only about half the space of the old version. Monopoly is a great board game as long as you resign yourself to the luck element else it can cause a couple arguments! My only quarrel and the reason it scored 4/5 on quality and design is that you do not get enough houses and hotels, when playing with 3+people if you end up playing a long game with house rules you will often run out of these markers.

Let the family arguments begin.while bonding at the same time got this for my family as part of a Xmas eve box.a game we played when we were kids with our parents grandparents, so much to our 3 children's horror , 14, 13 and 11, I asked all to put all phones away and let's sit and play monopoly like we did in the 80s.They loved it, was lovely to sit with my husband and kids playing a game and actually talking laughing and of cause arguing . Some thing we seem to have lost nowadays.

We bought this for our 6 year old who showed keen interest at a friend’s place. The high quality kit contains well described instructions and cards etc as you would expect. Comes with the original 8 metallic tokens (pieces). The box has racks to organise the property cards and money so there is no mess of things about and you don’t need to bring anything to the table just the set you bought.Great game and Argos supply the original high quality game set hence highly recommended!
