They probably haven’t. But this is business. You need to be ruthless. Keep a keen eye on every player, no toilet breaks – your real estate empire hangs in the balance here.

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. 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! Frequently, Monopoly can incite anger even in the most levelheaded of us when people break the rules, steal from the bank, or skip out of jail. Now this nefarious activity is rewarded in the Cheaters Edition of the classic board game if you don’t get caught. The box even includes a pair of plastic handcuffs for those who cheat unsuccessfully.Monopoly from the Mirror Universe. If you enjoy a game where you give all your money away – this is the version for you. Build a utopia, make society a perfect place. Keep dipping into that Community Chest and when the money runs out – the game is over. The concept originally came from a 1903 game called The Landlord’s Game as a way to relate economic theories at the time. If 7 days has passed we can then investigate with Royal Mail as to where your shipment may be, this may take up to 5 days to complete and is completely out of our control. 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.

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. The world's favourite family board game brings you another exciting edition of MONOPOLY - The Goonies! 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. 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.

There are quite a few versions of this board game out there – but what’s the best Monopoly Editions you can buy?

Four corner squares are present; one where you receive money for passing GO, one where you get sent to jail, another is the jail and finally a free spot for just idling. You can also buy train stations and utility companies. There are also squares where you must pay tax or collect a card from the chance or community chest.The number of moves a player makes depends on the roll of two dice. Players move their tokens along the board in line with the number they rolled. 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. In the centre of the board are cheat cards. The cards encourage the player to cheat and give information on the best way to carry it out. Don’t trust the Chance and Community Chest either – they’re just as corrupt. If you list all of the various Monopoly themes, location-specific, spin-off’s and other variations of the game since its inception – you’ll discover over one thousand. Most of these you’ll never find, some are even fictitious – but the sheer number is still considerable.

As a household board game – many view it as a classic, a staple on shelves and in cupboards across the world. Other avid game players and hobbyists have been hugely more critical rating it amongst the worst out there. One of the most recognisable things about Monopoly is these player tokens, usually made from metal. These are locally based versions of Monopoly – with properties, cards and even tokens tailored to the town, city or country it relates to. 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. There are hundreds of these editions out there. Far more than I can possibly ever play let alone write about.

But the essence of the original will always remain, whether your sobbing over the loss of the Top Hat or in the UK buying King’s Cross Station instead of The Short Line. While the original version is always worth keeping around, Parker Brothers has released countless special editions of Monopoly over the years that are just as much fun to play. These boards draw from popular film or TV franchises (like Star Wars and Game of Thrones), national landmarks, and even moments in pop culture to put a new twist on the game.
