Product Review about Monopoly Here & Now Limited Edition

A fun new twist on an old favorite, the money part is HARD!, November 1, 2007

I really like this new twist on an old favorite. My children, 13 and 6 enjoy playing this game immensely. The pieces are fun and recognisable such as Starbucks, McDonalds Fries, New Balance shoes, a jet, etc. The places are also recognisable such as Times Square and Wakiki Beach. The game concept is pretty much the same, with the spaces having the same function as the original Monopoly. The only part we really found confusing was the money part. Especially when you are having to pay 10% tax, or mortgage several properties. It can get confusing with dealing with millions at a time. I wished they had kept the money part the same as the original, as millions of dollars at a time serve no purpose.
