Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Board Game

There is nothing like playing the original Monopoly game. Fun any easy to understand for the whole family.

My 8yo is learning to manage money and budget. She didnt grow up playing this like I did, so I am passing on tradition. Needless to say, she has beat my 6x on this damn game. I refuse to let her be the bank and refuse to let her chose the ship token, that's mine lol. Funfilled memories being created with this classic pastime.

The rules of Monopoly, as far as I know, are passed down from generation to generation. Different tribes of peoples speak of different laws governing the play mechanics. I, personally, come from the "Pay All Fines To The Center Of The Board and Collect Them When You Land On Free Parking" tribe. In addition, I relish in the pain that comes from non-math oriented players attempting to determine how much of their hard earned (read collected on free parking) monies they have to pay when they land on Luxury Tax or pick Street Repairs from the deck.This version destroys everything I held sacred in my tribe's worship of Monopoly. My 9 and 11 year-olds shout "No! That is not in the rules...the rules clearly state, blah blah blah". And they then point them out, printed ever so helpfully, on the little card-board insert that keeps the pieces organized when packed away. Damn you Hasbro, first D&D...now Monopoly...simply shameful.For those who want to know how Hasbro has "ruined" this classic:1) You now play with Monopoly money (it even has a new M symbol instead of the correct $ one)2) All those % calculations that I loved to watch drive players insane and bring the game to a screeching halt...gone3) Better graphics and more durable cards...what was wrong with felt?4) Smaller dice (so now the 6 year old can play...wtf!?!)6) Some bastardized red die that can be used to play a faster version...FASTER VERSION?!?!? Monopoly should last HOURS...nay DAYS!7) Printed rules both inside the game box AND in the easily hidden/destroyed/lost rules book.8) A !@#$%^ cat...seriously?!?! The FIRST thing I did was make the little Scottie dog chase that flea-bitten, allergy inducing, adorable kitten all the way to Jail (and not Just Visiting)This is simply NOT the game I remember...it quite possibly might be a totally different game...at least it is still fun :)

Going through the reviews, I was in doubt whether to buy it or no. Since it's sold by Amazon, I decided to buy it. However, after buying it I found that it's quality is really fine, and the only thing that I didn't like is that it has a fourfold board rather than a bi fold one.One side of the square board (which obviously has four sides) has a cut (profecianally made and looks nice) from the middle of the side towards the center of board to allow folding. This weakens it from centre, might also get it torn but less likely. That is the only thing that I didn't like. Rather than this it is almost perfect for me. And for the price of 7.84 $ I feel that I am obligated to give 5 stars.

I love this board game and when I saw a great sale on it, I had to have my own set for my new house. Board games are a great way to bond with friends or pass the time while unplugged, so great in a power outage. I am excited to introduce the product to my child when she gets a little older and can understand how to play the game. We may start with the junior version first for both of our sanity. We have a monthly board game night with a few of our friends and this is in the regular rotation. I have always preferred the classic game to the different versions, but if I found a deal on a zombie version, I may have to splurge and add it to my collection. Great classic game that everyone should own at least one copy of.

This is a classic game I loved playing growing up. I purchased it this year as a new game for my family to play together during the holiday break. While we've enjoyed played this game, I'm a little disappointed that the board itself, started to tear after the first use. It's really frustrating that games are being cheaply made. Back in the day a game board would last countless uses before showing any wear, and this board gets used once and is already starting to fall apart.The reason for the 4 stars, is aside from the cheaply made board, everything else is great. The pieces, cards, houses, hotels, dice and cards are all well constructed. We've enjoyed playing the game. I was very happy with the price and quick shipping from Amazon.

This is a timeless game that I played with as a child and wanted my daughter to be able to play it as well. It arrived on the delivery date. Which I love. I like to know when I'm getting an item to be home. It was packaged alittle flimsy but still durable enough. I was pleased to see the parts of this game weren't at all what other reviewers have mentioned. It's durability is very nice. The game pieces are well made and the best part, the cat piece is an awesome way to spruce up an older game. I love it. I recommend it!!

I've played this game since I was a kid and recently bought myself a new one to enjoy with my family. What I love about Monopoly so much is it's ability to bring the whole family together. There are a lot of fun board games out there, but not too many that have more than 4 players. So a lot of times in our family, because of size, people have to sit out of the game. That's never a problem with Monopoly. And if you haven't gotten a copy for yourself in the past few years, you need to! Know why? THEY HAVE A CAT NOW! lol It's really adorable. Although I haven't gotten a chance to play as the cat yet! My daughter loves to grab it first. ha
