Monopoly: The Mega Edition review
Everyone loves the timeless game-play of Monopoly. Now with Monopoly: The Mega Edition, you'll be able to own more properties, build more buildings, handle more cash, and, amazingly, play faster than ever before!
1. OWN MORE: The massive game board has 12 additional spaces, including 9 new properties. You'll be able to buy, for the first time: California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina and Arctic Avenues, plus the Gas Company. Each joins an existing group.
2. BUILD MORE: Buy all the properties of a group, build your houses and hotels, and then keep on going by building Skyscrapers for a chance to earn mega rents. Good news: you can build houses and hotels once you own three out of four properties in a group (or two out of three in the smaller groups). You can even build a Depot on a railroad to double its rent.
3. GET RICHER: Start play with $2500, including a $1000 bill.
4. PLAY FASTER: Roll three dice on your turn: two regular dice and the special Speed Die. The Speed Die gives you a chance for a free trip to the next unowned property. (Later in the game the Speed Die could send you to the next property you owe rent on. Ouch!) From time to time you'll earn free Bus Tickets. Use them to go where you want to go, but beware: they expire! The Speed Die and the Bus Tickets make the action speedy, intense, and sure-fire fun!
Best of all if you already know how to play the Monopoly game, you'll be playing Monopoly: The Mega Edition in minutes. Bigger: game board 50% larger than most boards; new depots and skyscrapers. Faster: special Speed Die and Bus Tickets quickly zip you to where the action is; building appears sooner... and so do rents! Own it All... and More! 7 more states to join the game!
