All Hasboro needs to do is make an upgrade pack available for this version<br /><br />With the limited $$ you just cant get too far in the game and the outcome is just pure luck with no strategy.

Of course we started by buying properties and then trying to get the whole suit to build, but then I thought about it, if I didn't build and only collected my Go money I was at a million quicker. But what fun is that? And also, how do you actually know you are at a million? Do you include the property value at purchase price? If so then you are constantly having to stop while playing and add the properties and cash to see if you are there yet. That part sucks, adding everything as you go. Makes it no fun. So how do you actually track how much everyone has to see who is there first? And if it is by cash only then why put money out to build? How are the investments you put out into buying property and buying buildings tracked and accounted for towards the million dollar goal? Found the game to be confusing and would rather play to monopolize and win than to gain a million first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-62432726989113336422012-12-27T14:40:07.554-08:002012-12-27T14:40:07.554-08:00One of the kids received this game for Christmas s...One of the kids received this game for Christmas so we played it. I have to agree with you on all counts. It ended within 1 hour when the youngest kid (10 year old) amassed the million in cash with pure unadulterated luck. Nobody even owned any houses yet! My first thought was, why even put the houses and hotels in the box?! Not only did they, as you said, "surgically remove the best parts of the game", they made it pointless. You can't get to the good part of Monopoly. I'll concede that it's at least a decent starter Monopoly for the kids and teens. Perhaps *that's* the ultimate goal of Hasboro's marketing department. Win 'em with flash... and the sales of original Monopoly will live on as the kids grow older.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-92039473159264392672012-09-02T07:38:57.902-07:002012-09-02T07:38:57.902-07:00This game stood out even MORE when I went to WalMa...This game stood out even MORE when I went to WalMart the other day - just because of this review.Wind Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-12640862212266332142012-08-31T13:12:21.144-07:002012-08-31T13:12:21.144-07:00Dad always won Monopoly with those damned orange s...Dad always won Monopoly with those damned orange spaces, no matter how hard you tried to prevent it from happening.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623599564665774177noreply@blogger.com
