Good but ...Jun 27, 2010
My niece has this game and I've played it with her several times each taking turns with who get's to be the banker and although it is alot easier than counting paper money ... it can get quite tedious constantly placing the plastic money cards into the + slot and - slot each time for each player. If they created something like an ATM like thing where you slide your card and press deposit or withdraw with one card slide it'd be alot better. But it is a BIG improvement from the paper money.
 Read this Before you Read any Negative CommentsApr 25, 2010
We bought this for our teenagers 3 months ago and they cannot stop playing it. It is the best version of Monopoly ever! I haven't played Monopoly since I was in my 20s and though I loved the concept of the game I hated sorting and picking up all the money, set up took so long that by the time I was set to play I didn't want to play anymore. I wanted my kids to enjoy Monopoly and I thought this was a great solution.
This game is pricey and I read all of the reviews on here before I bought it. I almost didn't buy because of some of the complaints on the reviews. However, I took a chance and after loving this game I thought I would comment on the negative reviews and their complaints:
First complaint: "The electronic banking takes a while to do transactions." It makes me wonder if they read the directions on the machine and realize that you can put cards in the negative and positive slots at the same time, type in the amount being transacted and it will automatically deduct and add to the appropriate cards. Besides the 2 cards that say, "Pay Each Player 500K", I don't know how that can be slower than actually exchanging paper cash!
Second Complaint: "One person has to be the banker and I never know how much is on my card." The banking device is the size of a calculator and we do not designate a banker we just pass the machine to each person during their turn. We have not played with more than 3 people so maybe when you add more people in this is harder. But if you want to keep track of how much is on your card; have the banker tell you your amount after each transaction and WRITE IT DOWN!
Third Complaint: "The Credit Card doesn't show my balance" Again write down your balance after each turn if you are worried, or just slide the card into the machine and it shows your balance.
Fourth Complaint: "I like dealing in cash, I can't bluff on how much cash I have" Then don't buy this version. I personally hate the mess of cash, and never got into a game deep enough to bluff. We also have young children in our house and if we leave the game out or they get in to the box, it is all over. We have The Game of Life and occasionally they climb the shelves to get at it and totally make a mess out of that game. We will probably be buying the electronic version of that game next.
Fifth Complaint: "They Changed The Properties" Yea they did, I like the old version too. But my kids think it is cool that they can buy Fenway Park. Plus, there were a couple of places they had not heard of so they looked them up and found out info on those places. That was cool.
So that is my take on the new Monopoly, for us it works and we will be playing a long time.
Monopoly Modernized.Feb 14, 2010
After playing several games with this I can assure you its just as fun as the other Monopoly games of the past. One thing that gets really annoying though is the debit card system. Having to get both cards and insert them to pay (you don't have to its just he quicker of the two ways) becomes very monotonous after the first game. It would be better if somehow the transactions were centralized without dealing with the debit cards. But if you want monopoly this is a great game with modern locations (Railroads are now Airports and etc...).
 Makes a long game even longerFeb 14, 2010
I and my daughter love the new board but wish there was cash instead of the debit card system or along with the debit card system. Playing with 4 people, the banker has no time to even play since he/she always getting the cards from one or two players, debiting and or crediting, handing back the cards. It's annoying and makes the game move slower than it had originally. After 2 hours, my husband gave up and stopped the game. It's also really difficult to remember your balance and the banker is so busy, you don't have time to ask for an update.
Love it!!Feb 11, 2010
I love this updated version of the game, it is the same monopoly....but just better, the game goes much faster with the electronic banking system. It is also good for the younger players who want to be the banker...no more having to keep track of all the money any more. Love it!
