Monopoly still sucks; Monopoly Gamer is a WAY better take on it despite some of the legacy issues persisting through to this version. We don't claim any ownership on their stuff that we feature on this site, just copyright on our words and self-made videos. Gone are the days where your game piece is just a fun decoration that does the same as everyone else’s.

It takes hours and hours to play; it takes forever just to pass go; building a hotel is nearly impossible; the “go to jail” mechanic is just broken and asinine; and if you run out of money it’s impossible to make a comeback. So grab your friends, sit down and start throwing shells as you speed around the board on your way to first place! Brought for kids xmas present and over the past month we have played about 5 times including the wife, this to me is good as it makes me spend time with the wife and kids and we all enjoy the game. Includes gameboard, 4 Character tokens, 4 Character cards, 4 Reminder cards, 8 Grand Prix cards, 16 Title Deed cards, 5 Banana tokens, 1 Numbered Die 1 Power-Up die, 90 coins, and game guide.The game is much simpler in its currency too, with coins from the Mario games becoming the money of choice.

The Power-up die gives you one of six actions: Spiny Shell lets you target any player to drop 3 coins, Green Shell causes the next forward player from your position to drop 3 coins, Lightning Bolt causes all other players to drop 1 coin, Coins lets you collect 3 coins, and Banana lets you drop a Banana token on any space you traveled on after you move. When you roll the dice to move around the board, there’s one for movement and one that has several items from Mario Kart on it, including a banana, green shell, spiny shell, coins and a lightning bolt. My son was there when I answered the door so has now seen it - it is supposed be a Christmas present! This deed card will earn you money when someone else lands on the card, and it's also worth points at the end of the game.

Hasbro changed the formula just enough and cleverly incorporated elements of the video game to breathe new life into a dumb game whose popularity is still a mystery to me.

This edition of the Monopoly game joins forces with Nintendo video game characters for an exciting gameplay experience.Instead of the standard Monopoly tokens, players can choose to move around the gameboard as Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, or Toad. Sorry if this is long, I don't want there to be any "gray areas" when it comes to the rules and encounter any potential exploits. Each character has its own special ability which you can use throughout the game there is also the old favourites from the game too such as shells!

You move around the board as you’d expect, but you constantly get to utilise power-ups and special abilities to hinder your opponents and move further around the board. I don't think a player is "out" like regular monopoly if that happens, and that's not what I'm getting from the rules, but wanted to ask anyways. WAY better than original Monopoly as the game doesn't go on forever and there's not hotels or houses. When you land on a property that someone else owns, pay them the rent shown on the property's Title Deed card.
