About the game

What you do in a play session

Monopoly: All Blacks Charity Edition delivers the classic roll‑and‑move experience with a Kiwi twist and a charitable cause. Up to eight players circle the board, buying properties, building houses and hotels, and trading with each other. Whenever someone lands on your land, they pay rent, and owning full colour groups boosts the rent dramatically. In addition to buying and building, the game features auctions where you can bid for properties, card trades, and the looming threat of player elimination for those who run out of cash. The ultimate goal is straightforward: amass the biggest fortune and bankrupt your opponents, all while supporting the Little Heroes Foundation, since a portion of sales goes to the charity. The components showcase the All Blacks rugby team, giving the board and cards a distinctive look. Gameplay follows the familiar pattern – roll dice, move your token, decide to purchase or negotiate – but the inclusion of bidding and player elimination adds extra tension that can shorten the game. A typical play lasts about 100 minutes, and the learning curve is gentle, making it perfect for seasoned Monopoly fans or newcomers who enjoy economic games without heavy rules. If you love intense negotiations, set collection, and want to back a good cause, this limited edition is a solid addition to your collection.
