About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a modern take on the classic Monopoly! Instead of drowning in stacks of paper money, here we use debit cards and an electronic unit to handle transactions. It's the same game of buying properties, collecting rent, and trying to bankrupt everyone, but with a technological touch that speeds things up. The properties and some rules are inspired by the 2006 "Here and Now" edition, bringing a fresh feel for those who already know the game by heart. The electronic unit not only manages the money but can also speed up the game, making negotiations and payments smoother. It's a great choice for those who enjoy Monopoly but want a slightly faster experience with less cash clutter. Perfect for family gatherings or with friends, where the fun is ensuring you end up rich while others go bankrupt. With negotiation and auction rules, each game is a new chance to show who rules the real estate market. If you think the original Monopoly takes too long or prefer the convenience of technology, this edition is for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

How long does a game session last?

Although the electronic version speeds up transactions, Monopoly games can still take a good amount of time, usually between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of players and dice luck.

How many players can participate?

The game is for 2 to 6 players. With more people, the fun and negotiation increase, but the total game time may also extend.

Is it very different from classic Monopoly?

The main mechanic of buying properties, building houses and hotels, and collecting rent is the same. The big difference is the replacement of paper money with debit cards and an electronic unit, which makes transactions faster and more organized.

Does it require batteries or is it rechargeable?

The electronic unit usually requires batteries (typically AA), which are not usually included in the game. Check the packaging to confirm.

Does the electronic unit have sounds or music?

Some electronic Monopoly versions include sounds or sound effects to announce transactions or events, but this varies between editions. Don't expect a full soundtrack, but rather functional alerts.

Is it a good game for someone new to board games?

Yes! As it's a version of a very well-known game, the learning curve is low. The rules are intuitive, and the electronic unit helps avoid money counting errors.
