I wonder how often board games are the subject of threads on this folder.

Anyway, what is everyone's favorite version of Monopoly?

I like the Millenium Edition, and the Family Guy Edition, as well as the original.

My favirout is probably the Lord of The Rings version, though when I was a kid I liked the Pokemon version and I enjoyed playing the Star Wars version on the PC.

There's one for my city which is neat, it's got a bunch of local stores. It was funny because my family opened it and found that we had two of the same card and when we found out which one was missing we realised it was the one that was on our street. :lol: Just our luck.

Also there was one on the computer I used to play. It might have even been a DOS game, I don't remember. But you could have up to 10 or 12 players and I used to play all of them at once. It sounds kind of lame to me now but I vividly remember having lots of fun.

I've recently seen ads for Monopoly City, where you can build high rises and power plants and stuff. Which seems kind of interesting but I'm not sure I really like the updated Monopoly games. I didn't have much fun the one time I played one with electronic banking because I like counting out my money and hiding it from others so they don't know how much I have. I also think we messed up some of the payments between players.

There's also a Monopoly card game that I saw when I got Scrabble Slam (which I played for the first time tonight and it was SO MUCH FUN!). I don't know how it would work though.

I'd really love to play the LOTR one! I didn't even know one existed until reading this thread! And now after searching for it I found there's LOTR Risk as well!! ! Man, I have enough trouble finding friends to play regular board games with me, now I need some board game friends who also like LOTR!

Wow, I really didn't mean to write so much. I'm not even a big fan of Monopoly, I just like board games in general.

Edit:

I don't know how I missed this before, I think I stopped reading after mention of LOTR. But Nintendo Monopoly?! That would be amazing! And I could easily convince some friends to play that with me!

I would've gotten the B5 edition but it was way too expensive. So I'll stick to the regular one.

Monopoly has been converted to a video game for a number of systems (PS1, Mega Drive, PC), but it's not the same as playing the real thing with a group of people.

Regarding Monopoly, i've been to Atlantic city once... let's just say.... it was full of casinos, hotels and the rest of the town looked rather poor. Not the kind of place i'd want to live =/
