About this deal

The concept is fairly clear – total domination of the capitalist theme board. Build your property portfolio, make as much money as possible and bankrupt all the other players. Each player is given a sum of money to begin with from the Bank – often a combination of large and small denominations. This sum can be used to buy properties as you go, for which you receive a playing card containing various rent values. If an opposing player lands on your property – they pay rent.

If you’re the type who thinks a game of Monopoly is too short, you can extend the length of a single playthrough exponentially with this variation. In this game, no one can win until someone owns every single property on the board—and this time, there are 66 of them to trudge through. Oh, and there’s only one die, so you’ll travel around this super-sized board at a snail’s pace.To do this you need to explore Hawkins, visiting the locations from the show and whatever you do – avoid being trapped in the upside down place. Based on the fantastic nostalgia-laden retro sci-fi tv show from Netflix, this game is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Cards such as winning a prize at a beauty contest or it being your birthday can result in the bank or other players giving you money. Buy, sell and trade as normal – but don’t fall foul of the Demogorgon. Take an 80’s nostalgia trip to Hawkins and save the day. But the outcome is still the same – bankrupt the other players. Collect the properties, grab that money and work your way to the top. 4. Monopoly: Country and Towns Editions: Various

Reviews

Wars have been fought over misunderstandings over Monopoly games. Divorces, fights and lifelong friendships ended. When you have an entire collection of card colours or types – you can now buy houses. The more houses you have, the more a fine you give when a player lands on your property. The fines for the final stage, the hotel, are eye-watering! In an attempt to downscale global operations in these financially difficult times, Rich Uncle Pennybags (or Mr Monopoly) now uses voice recognition to control his banks.

The fundamental gameplay and parts of Cheater’s Edition are identical to that of the Classic game. The board is dark themed instead of the usual white and the houses are absent – only hotels this time.Properties are also more child-friendly – where players can now buy a skate park, toy store or ice cream parlour among other things. These are locally based versions of Monopoly – with properties, cards and even tokens tailored to the town, city or country it relates to.

Though some may decry some of the choices in these geographic-specific versions as a little stereotypical – if you take it for the tongue-in-cheek spirit it’s intended – they’re quirky and fun. The concept originally came from a 1903 game called The Landlord’s Game as a way to relate economic theories at the time. So whether you’re buying this for yourself, a trip, to play with friends or as a Christmas or Birthday present – there’s a theme somewhere you’re sure to love. Like a revisionist George Lucas – it could be argued there is no definitive “classic Monopoly” edition as it has been tweaked and fiddled with over the years.To spice up the risk of getting caught, handcuffs are attached to the jail square. Players sent to jail must wear the cuffs until released. Houses are called booby traps, and hotels are called treasure chests. Instead of Community Chest and Chance cards, you're dealt Never Say Die and Hey You Guys cards. As for the properties around the game's perimeter, they're all locations around Astoria, OR. Meanwhile, the game tokens are objects like Willy's eye patch and Chester Copperpot's skeleton key, and the money features the smiling faces of characters like Sloth, Data, Chunk, and Mikey.
