Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Ultimate Banking Edition Board Game for Families and Kids Ages 8 and Up, Electronic Banking Unit (Amazon Exclusive)

I recently purchased the Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Ultimate, and it has taken our family game nights to a whole new level! This version of Monopoly is fantastic, with updated gameplay that keeps everyone engaged from start to finish.The first thing that stood out to me was the quality of the components. The board is sturdy, and the tokens are vibrant and well-designed. I also love the streamlined rules, which make it easier for newcomers to pick up and play without feeling overwhelmed. The addition of the speed die adds an exciting twist to the traditional gameplay, making it faster and more dynamic.What I appreciate most is how this version encourages strategic thinking without dragging on for hours. We had so much fun negotiating trades and plotting our next moves. It brought out everyone's competitive side in the best way!If you're a fan of classic board games or looking to introduce Monopoly to a new generation, I highly recommend the Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Ultimate. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern gameplay that guarantees a fun time for players of all ages!

Because you use a credit card, the game moves so much faster. You don’t need monopolies to get monopoly benefits and there aren’t railroads nor utility companies. Super fun version!

Love this version - fast , easy and fun

very fun and easy game to play! You have to try this version of monopoly!

Not as fun as it sounds. Kids wanted this because it sounds fancy and they want to use a credit card. The novelty wears off fast. It’s just not as fun as having paper cash.

game was exactly as it was advertised, fun to play with the wife. would recommend to others

Board has perfect thickness and good size pieces

There is a lot of fun to be had with this game if you are one of those casual Monopoly players that want a different way to play while also having a great electronic banking unit keep track of all your money and property values for you. But there are some rule changes to some of the core mechanics and other new stuff to be aware of.- You CANNOT trade properties with other players, unless game effects do otherwise.- When in jail, you DO NOT collect rent from others or raise the rent. It is a MANDATORY rule in this version.- There is no utilities or R.R.s in the game. There is a new go anywhere space if you pay 100. Doing this, you DO NOT pass GO.- Event cards replace community chest and chance cards. They vary in different effects.- No houses or hotels can be bought. Instead, you use a house on the property when purchased to track rent levels that increase from other players and even you landing on them. They also increase when all the properties of a color set is purchased, even if it's a split Monopoly. (Ex: Player 1 has two orange and player 2 just bought the 3rd orange. That will cause all the orange properties to go up one rent level. Two levels if it's a solo player monopoly.) and event cards that can also raise or even lower rent.- When in the negative, you sell your properties for face value to the player you owe money to. The rent level stays where it is. (If you owe the bank, it'll remove the rent tracker)- The game ends when ONE player goes bankrupt (indicated by a siren horn from the unit) and then totals up all player remaining money and property values. The highest amount is the winner.Pros- Banking unit is very easy and fun to use. Keeps track of everything really well.- No need for a banker. Everyone can be involved.- Less game components to worry about losing.- Plays quicker than a regular game of MonopolyCons- Device will need batteries (3 AAA) and a screw driver to remove the battery door.- Only up to 4 players instead of the usual up to 6.- Mover tokens are a cheap plastic.This version of Monopoly is really great for those who want to play a quicker game while an electronic device keeps track of everything for them in-game. So for the Monopoly purists, this is definitely not the version for you. But give it a try when you can. You may be surprised.
