Monopoly Revolution

[tingletangle]

Every Christmas we buy a boardgame for the family and dd has suggetsed Monopoly Revolution. We have traditional monopoly already.

She does like the credit card version of the game of life, is this similar?

Monopoly City is good if a tad complicated- not heard of Revolution.

I have heard of it but don't know anything about it, it will be interesting to see what others say.

We always used to get at least one board game as part of our Christmas present. I quite like your tradition of choosing it together though - when do you 'get it' on Christmas Day with other presents or in time to play in the days before Christmas?

I did always get games I wanted though as I had a fully detailed Christmas List when I was young

We have monopoly revolution. I find it a bit of a fiddle having to put the credit cards in and out all the time but the kids think it's great!

Yes I think the same with the new Game of Life with the credit card but dd loves it.

AllGood - how is it different to the original?

Main things is that instead of money, you have an electronic bank thingie and each player has a credit card that they insert when it's their turn. If you have to pay another player something you put both cards in and transfer the money.

Also, instead of chance cards, the board is divided into four zones and, sometimes, when someone removes their card from the bank at the end of their turn, it plays a noise and they pick a zone and all the players in that zone get the chance which comes up on the screen.

The board is round but has all the same streets etc and the house and hotels are the same.

It plays bits of music which everyone madly sings along to.

I am planning on setting the kids and grandparents going on it at Christmas and quietly slinking off!

awwwww

I thought it was going to be one where you march into the banks and utilities and nationalise them all

[disappointed]

Ordered it for my nephews a few weeks back. The reviews are excellent, I want it for us but mine are still a bit too young.

lol springheeled.

I will order it then.

I'm an old fashioned kind of a girl :) I like the monopoly money
