| Banking system needs improvement |
We played the electronic monopoly for the first time last night. The new properties and pieces were fun, but the biggest problem we had came from the banking system. With the new system of transferring money to and from accounts, the banker now has to be involved with EVERY transaction. In the standard Monopoly, if one player landed on another player's property, they just handed them the rent money. Now both players have to hand the banker their credit cards, and the banker has to transfer the money. It really gets to be a pain when the game is moving along, as it's way too easy to confuse whose card is whose if the game gets going quickly.
I know it's a bit out there in the future, but the ultimate solution would be to have wireless handsets, where each user wirelessly transfers money to and from each other and the bank. But at that point, why not just hand each other money? |

| Fun game but I miss the original places |
It's nice to do away with all the paper money. It takes away the money counting skills younger kids should learn but makes the game much more enjoyable for older kids. (I'm 24 and my sister is 25 and we both still play board/video games.) Instead of spending a few hundred dollars to buy a property then rent for like 60 dollars everything has been changed to thousands and millions. Like 600K ($600,000) or 1.2M ($1,200,000). The places are from the "Here and Now Edition" not the original so you won't see Park Place or Boardwalk anymore... they have been replaced with Fenway Park and Times Square. Also, whoever decided to put the Liberty Bell and The White House on this game needs to be fired. Out national treasures are not and never will be put up for auction to the highest bidder like this game suggests. I realise it's just a game but it still bothers me. I would prefer the electronic banking edition also came in the original places like Marvin Gardens or Boardwalk. Then again, I was raised playing the original version.
Okay, back to the actual review. There are too few houses and hotels and I don't care for the tokens. Who would honestly pick the Altoids tin? Why is that even a "Here and Now" thing? Should of been a Laptop computer or some new Sports car. The electronic banking machine (Looks much like a regular calculator) is very simple to use so younger kids shouldn't have a problem with it after being shown how to do it. |

| Not impressed. |
I suppose I'm a bit of a Monopoly purist, but I really just couldn't make myself enjoy this version of the game. Players have no idea how much money they have at any given point, and the inflation of the prices is unnecessary and makes keeping track of one's own spending mentally more difficult.
On the plus side, though, cleanup is a breeze.
One thing I think would improve the educational value of this version of the game greatly would be to add a check register for each player so that he or she can keep track of spending and so that kids can learn that credit cards really aren't an endless supply of money. |
