Can it be true? Noooooo!

Wow. Never thought I'd ever see that.

[Alex Cormier]

That is so cool! I'd buy it!

[Morgan Gillespie]

All that adding and subtracting just got too difficult for some people.
Rather sad really.
Yet now people who are the banker cannot cheat, ha ha try cheating now Grandma, the game lasted till 3am with you robbing the bank every time I turned around. Yet I still won, can't cheat anymore, can you?

I've been playing Monopoly paperless for some time now thanks to computer games. I've found that playing via a computer will vastly increase your playing speed (e.g. a 6 hour game can fit into a timespan of 2-3 hours), so that you can dominate the board even faster. Anyone who was at the WPI Frontiers course this year knows how addicted we were to Monopoly despite the Pacman theme.

Here's a link to the computer version of Monopoly that I play; it costs like $12 but it's worth every penny of it.

I second that...

Monopoly on the computer is amazing. We played for hrs and maybe got 5-6 games in the time it would have taken to do 1 or 2. Just take everything that you dont like to do with regular monopoly(ie. bank, properties, move pieces) and take it out.

Mayfair?! This edition at least is obviously from the UK.

I wonder if the American version will roll over any time soon? (In it's grave...hehe)

[Dan Petrovic]

What?!

That takes away half the fun!

I was thinking the exact same words.

I really enjoy correcting people when they don't give me the right change.

American Version

[John Gutmann]

They have had this on G4 for quite sometime now. It looks cool, but it still takes away from thew classic feel of the game. Also seems like it will be less messy.

I know this is a good thing and would save me 1/2 the time to lose.
But doesn't anyone besides me like the way the little shoe clicks on the board as it goes around?
