About the game
What you do in a play session
Monopoly: 20 Years of Adelaide Crows is the 20th‑anniversary edition that blends the classic property‑buying board game with a love for Australian football. The board features Adelaide landmarks and the Crows' visual identity, while the core Monopoly rules stay intact: roll the dice, move, buy or trade properties, build houses and hotels, and collect ever‑higher rents. The twist comes in the auction cards, letting players bid for valuable estates, and the abundant negotiation opportunities that emphasize the economic and bargaining aspects. The ultimate goal is straightforward – amass the most money and bankrupt your opponents – but the path involves set collection, auction battles, player elimination for those who run out of cash, and plenty of trading to seal good deals. This limited edition was released to raise money for the Little Heroes Foundation, so the fun comes with a charitable cause. The game supports 2‑8 players, with playtime usually ranging from 100 to 120 minutes, making it perfect for large groups that enjoy lengthy strategic sessions. Components are the standard Monopoly fare: board, money, houses, hotels, property cards and chance cards, all adorned with Adelaide Crows artwork. If you love economic, negotiation‑heavy games and the classic "who goes bankrupt first?" vibe, this version delivers the familiar experience with a local, feel‑good twist.
