Toys and Games Reviews of Monopoly Family Championship
Customer Review: Great version of Monopoly but still not perfect.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a life time fan of Monopoly and have owned more Monopoly boards that I can remember. This latest version of the board is very interesting in that it gives you the official tournament rules as are used if you should ever happen to enter in an official Parker Brothers Monopoly tournament that are held every year. You can still play regular Monopoly or various house rule versions, but this version makes it easier to play the tournament version by including some extra special stuff. Included is a speed die, which some classic players will find weird but it IS used to speed things up in official tournaments so if you want to feel what it's like to play like the pros, you'll use it. Basically the speed die adds to your regular two dice roll, either a 1 to 3 in #s, or a bus, or mr monopoly. The 1,2,or 3 on the speed die just adds to your move, effectively getting players around the board faster, the bus on the speed die allows you to roll the value of one or both of your dice, so if you rolled an 11 (5 on one die, 6 on another, and then BUS on the speed die) you could move 5, 6, or 11 spaces - your choice. The final added speed die face is Mr Monopoly which immediately moves the number you rolled, where you can act (buy it, auction, or pay rent of already owned) but THEN you get an extra turn almost and are moved on to the next un-purchased property. if all properties are purchased, you are moved onto the next property group. This speeds up the game significantly and adds a little more maneuvering & strategy. It's not for everyone, but it is interesting and was the MANDATORY way to play in the last official tournament. It remains to be seen whether they keep the speed die around for the next 2013 tournament (as long as the world doesn't blow up, get taken over by aliens or the New World Order.. but lets think positive here.. this is a Monopoly review!).
Also included is a score pad for easy tallying of your total net worth at the end of the game if you are playing a timed game. There is also a rather hokey trophy included, but you might get a kick out of it.
The standard monopoly tokens are included, but the houses and hotels and board have some different colors. All in all I really like this set of Monopoly and for the cheap price it's being offered here it's definitely worth picking this version up. I have a few pet peeves that keep this from getting a 5 star review, and they are as follows:
The board is a 'quad' fold board. I hate quad fold boards as do most people, they are ugly and not as sturdy and they include an extra slice in the board that is not needed if they would just go back to making bi-fold boards. Please Hasbro, listen to this. No one likes the quad fold boards.
The money. This version of monopoly money is a little weird and not the standard colors. They changed the 10s to the color the 50s used to be, light blue, and they changed the 50s to purple.
Not a big deal but annoying if you have older standard monopoly money or are a fan of the classic colors. Also, they only include 1 pack of money and you always end up needed more if playing with more than 4 players.
Still, these little things don't keep this from being a great version, at an awesome price. I was very happy with it!
