Game Night is an important part of our week. Its super fun to spend time with the kids goofing around and laughing. If you have children and haven't implemented game night, please do so. It's a wonderful way to spend time with your children.
We are big fans of board games, so recently I had the opportunity to review Monopoly Mega Edition from Winning Moves. We own the classic Monopoly and it is my son's favorite game. He often ask us to play, most of us shy away just because it takes too long to play. We like the game it was one of our childhood games and it was a favorite of mine as well.
My son was excited to find out we have the Monopoly Mega Edition. We surprised him with it. We like when we can enjoy games with the kids that we played when we were children. Would you believe Monopoly officially turned 80 years old recently. Monopoly is a classic loved by many to this day.
The Monopoly Mega Edition is a family board game for two to eight players aged 8 years old and up. What makes this game board even better? Play time only last about an hour, this is far shorter than the classic monopoly. The board game is bigger, there's a new speed die, play is faster with this new mega edition.
The most obvious change you will see in the Monopoly Mega Edition is the board. There are more squares such as the gas company and the lucky birthday gift. A new property has been added to each color. All properties now have a skyscraper that goes beyond the hotels for the maximum rate of $3000. The railroads are the same except now players build depots, which raise the stakes. The new speed die allow players to move farther around the board. Also featured are two Mr. Monopolies which allow players to automatically go to the next unowned space. Bus tickets are now a key part of the game, 7 players can spend one card instead of rolling the die.
The Mega Edition Monopoly is a grander and faster game, but the classic heart of monopoly is still there. My son loves this game and often he surprises us with his strategies to win.

Wow this is so cool I love when there is a twist to and old classic and my family loves to play monopoly!
ReplyDeleteI would love this game I used to have one but lost some of easiest plz
DeleteMonopoly has been around for years and is still a lot of fun to play, I used to play with my brothers all the time and of course I was the banker, I have 5 granddaughters who love to play games and the older ones have played Monopoly and I think it is about time that the younger ones have the same opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI would love to play this with our kids. We collect Monopoly editions and game night can end up lasting all night long with the traditional versions. Would love to play this faster edition of our favorite game.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Monopoly is 80 yrs old! Well I think this sounds awesome. I am glad your son enjoys
ReplyDeleteit. I think my whole family would love it as much as they have the original or maybe more so.
I think Monopoly is one of 3 of my all time favorite games to play! We have had many late night games going in our home!
ReplyDeleteAwesome and so cool! Great game to play with family for those snowed in days.
ReplyDeleteWe love Monopoly! Just teaching my grandsons how to play it! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love playing Monopoly. It gives the family something to do together that is enjoyable, especially when the weather is really nasty.
ReplyDeleteI always loved playing Monopoly as a kid! I still play with a group of friends when we get together every month to catch up & have dinner!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the fun in a game of Monopoly that doesn't keep the whole family awake all night?
ReplyDeleteFaster game time is a huge plus. My kids never make through to the end of monopoly but they love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I love Monopoly but it usually takes too long!
DeleteThe kids and I love to play Monopoly. This Mega one looks good. I have never seen this one yet.
ReplyDeleteI've always said Monopoly should be renamed monotony. It's fun for the first hour but the next six are kinda iffy. Definitely excited about the Mega edition that doesn't take all day and night!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth miller. We love game night in our home. We also love momopoly but typically try to stay clear of it because of the time involved. This is great that they have made an addition that somewhat caps out at about an hour.
ReplyDeleteWe love Monopoly from when we were kids. Now I play with my grand kids . Lots of different themes of monopoly - so many to choose from .
ReplyDeleteI know Monopoly has been around for decades because I played as a child and my grown daughter played as a child too. I always enjoyed playing
ReplyDeleteI have played and love Monopoly since I was a kid. I played with my kids and now grandkids. But, we would quit early sometimes, because the game took too long1 I like the MEGA EDITION!! Thanks for sharing!

I love that the Monopoly Mega Edition is faster to play! Sometimes, nobody wants to play because it could go on for a long time :)
I like that it plays faster than the regular one. It would be good when you want to play but don't want to spend the whole evening.

This has always been my favorite game, I loved playing it with my parents and sisters, my children and now my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun. I love the original Monopoly, and this looks so much better.
ReplyDeleteI love playing monopoly. I play monopoly Junior with my son and the adult version with my hun. We love it!
ReplyDeleteI remember playing Monopoly as a child and I would love to have the Mega Edition to teach my grandson to play when he's a little older.
ReplyDeleteI like that play time only lasts about an hour. the kids like to play but it gets too long and then they quit

We love the Classic Monopoly and enjoy playing it when we are stuck inside when the weather is bad and we have time to finish the game. This version would also be great for us since it doesn't last so long we could play it even when we don't have all day to finish the game!
ReplyDeleteWe love playing Monopoly!! We use to play with the children all the time and also played with the grandkids. I guess when the great grandkids are old enough we will play with them also!!
ReplyDeletewow I can not believe they are 80 years old. We have always loved playing monopoly.
ReplyDeleteI used to love playing Monopoly! My son is 6 now, and I think it's about time he finally learned how to play it!
ReplyDeleteWe love Monopoly! Its our favorite board game.
ReplyDeleteMy family loves to play Monopoly. This would be so great for my family's board game night.
ReplyDeleteThis has always been a favorite of mine. Thank you for the entry.
ReplyDeleteOh! That looks exciting. I love board games, but one of the things that keeps us from busting out a game is how long it can take to play! This would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved playing Monopoly but to tell the truth I've never finished a game, it just takes too long.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this new version of Monopoly. I think as long as the people that play, understand basic regular Monopoly, they would enjoy this version too :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that the shorter play time can be better. It's nice to have a choice now.
ReplyDeleteWow...80 years old, who knew!! We have always enjoyed playing Monopoly! I love that this Mega Edition of Monopoly has a larger playing board with new added spaces...how fun :) The shorter playing time is definitely a plus!
ReplyDeleteI haven't played Monopoly in many years, but I used to when I was a teenager (ages ago). My friends and I would spend hours and hours playing this FAB game.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE board games and have a large collection, which I love adding to. Monopoly is a game I remember from when I was younger but the only disadvantage was the time it took to play. This mega edition sounds great. The new features, such as the bigger board, skyscrapers, etc will be fun to try.
ReplyDeleteWe've been looking for one for our family. This would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy son loves Monopoly. I used to play it a lot when I was a kid too!
ReplyDeleteive always been a monopoly fan and this one looks awesome
ReplyDeleteI love Monopoly! I especially like the shorter playing time so you can still enjoy playing a game even if you have a busy schedule.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great I love monopoly but it lasts forever so this would be perfect for us
ReplyDeleteA quicker version of Monopoly that still seems like real Monopoly sounds amazing! We have Monopoly Empires, and while it is quicker, it is too quick! We played our first game and finished in under 10 minutes with 4 players!
