Product Description:
Monopoly: Here and Now Edition is a whole new twist on the classic property trading game. Move around the board, collect money, and punish your siblings financially as you have good clean family fun. This updated version includes modern day rents and all-new contemporary game tokens and airports. The 22 new properties salute America's greatest modern destinations from New York City to Honolulu. For the first time ever, Monopoly fans helped design the new board by voting on their favorite landmarks from selected cities.
Amazon.com Review:
The back of the box poses the question, "What would the Monopoly game be like if it were invented today?" One could sum up most of the difference in one word: inflation. If you're used to playing the traditional game, you might feel a little woozy handling Monopoly money denominations that start at $100k and top out at $5 million. Players are no longer vying for control of Atlantic city but now the entire U.S., from sea to shining sea. Entry level properties like Baltic and Mediterranean Avenues, which sold for $60 back in the day, have been replaced by Texas Stadium in Dallas and Cleveland's Jacobs Field, each selling for $600,000. The most disturbing piece of property for sale in this game is the White House--one can only assume it's someone's subtle political humor. Railroads have been replaced by airports like O'Hare and JFK. Utilities have been supplanted by cell phone and Internet service. And, of course, the game pieces have all been updated: laptop, cell phone, hybrid car, commuter coffee mug, jumbo jet, super size fries. Gameplay, however, is still the same. The idea is to buy properties, build houses and hotels, and charge other players rent when they land on your land. Thankfully, transactions are still handled in cash and not by some convoluted electronic banking scheme. There's a lot of changes here that will make cynics and traditionalists sour. That's okay. The original game is still available to them. What's interesting about this edition is that it brings back a kind of jaw-dropping thrill--one that made this game a household word in the middle of the Great Depression, when people dreamt of becoming a millionaires. This game will let you dream of becoming a billionaire. --Porter B. Hall

It sounds great when you collect rent and it is now in the hundreds of thousands or millions, that is until you have to count and make change all the time. I had no idea there was an electronic banking version so will have to check that out. Aside from that, I thought the board itself was defective the way it is now folded into quarters. I hate the big gap left by the new fold, really makes it feel "cheap". Aside from that, the idea of an updated game is great, and it's still a ton of fun to ... Read More

This specific monopoly was a good thing to buy for new places on the board and new peices, as for the rules they remain the same, even though the cash has increased it is basicly the same they just added digets which means your playing the old monopoly. As far as the cards go they are changed slightly which is good no one wants to read the same material for more then a decade before it becomes well outdated. As for the rest of the rating, other monopoly games you can purchase cash for (on amazon.com) ... Read More

Don't like this because of the property choices. Letting America "chose" is just basically pandering to the mindless masses. And the most populated areas are guaranteed to win.
There are a lot of sports stadiums. Why? You can't build houses in them, I know, I know, you build next to them, but I would rather have bona fide places. I hate these sports stadiums. Worse are natural wonders, who's going to build houses in the middle of nowhere? It would have been best to let a professional game ... Read More

First of all, I love Monopoly, although I don't play it anymore because I own the FAR SUPERIOR Monopoly: the Mega Edition. Aside from Mega Monopoly, however, Monopoly Here & Now is my favorite version of the classic property-buying game.
Monopoly Here & Now is the same game as the original. Everything is different, but the game is still the same. Popular properties from all over America have take the place of Boardwalk, St. Charles Place, Illinois Ave., etc., Utilities are now Service ... Read More
