Go home and be a family man!


The Star Wars Episode 1 Monopoly set is the greatest Monopoly edition to ever exist. It took all the problems inherent in Monopoly and fixed it because it was designed by loving geniuses. You ever roll the dice and end up destroying all the homes and hotels while the dice end up under the table somewhere?? Not in Star Wars! It has raised edges so the dice stay right on the board where theyre supposed to, plus the houses and hotels all snap in! The cards are safe in their own slots right on the board! All the spaces double as slots for all the property cards! You land on and buy a property, you just take the card right out of the space! Never again will simply bumping the table gently caress up an entire night worth of capitalism.



No joke, this is straight up the greatest Monopoly edition in existence. Others might look fancier or have all sorts of crazy gimmicks, but this one was clearly designed by people marathoning Monopoly and taking notes on everything that fucks up the board. Buy it

You have to buy every property you land on or it goes to auction!!!!!! why dont people understand this rule otherwise the game goes on for HOURS ! plus you can openly sell and make offers to buy properties to whoever you like for however much you like making the game really fun when you have more money than others you can bully them around when they're desperate!

I have a cousin who own this version and yes i agree that it is one of the better design boards. the only flaw that it based on star wars. i wish there was a classic version of that board.

Also stop putting all the fine money into the middle for people who land on free parking. These two things add about 3 hours onto the average monopoly game length.

there isn't much thinking ahead, especially compared to ticket to ride and other european games. americans are retarded and can't handle it :smug: are you a dumb american??

anyways that's why it's partly so bad since it's mostly passive, not a lot of strategy involved, somewhatmostly luck based for the first ~10 minutes, boring and takes waay too long to finish a game with 4 people even though the winner pretty drat near decided early on.

what was the monopoly that had smaller property cards that slid into slots? i thought it was the Star Wars monpoly. that was a pretty useful design

Yeah youre gettin it! Monopoly probably had the working title "gently caress You Got Mine" but Hasbro's marketing department didnt like it.

oh right. yea this board was really good in it's design, but it was still monopoly.

ticket to ride does everything monopoly tries to do, except its infinitely more strategic based and you create a railroad monopoly and can cockblock your friends/family like crazy. it's more fast paced and competitive while still being accessible. games also don't take 2+ hours with 4 players.

how about risk legacy

it's still risk but with rules made to abbreviate each session and the board and game are permanently affected by the results of each progressive session until it becomes almost unrecognizable from how it looked at the start

i don't have it but i always thought it sounded like fun
