During my hiatus there were a few Monopoly related links that I feel semi-obligated to post. First up, is Monopoly Mega Edition (The Green Head Referrer, Board Game Geek Page) which features a super-sized Monopoly board including twelve additional properties, train depots, skyscrapers, a “speed dice” and a $1000 bill. I usually play smaller games, so I don’t think I’d be want a larger board. I do think it might be interesting to try the larger board with four or more players. Monopoly: The Mega Edition can be purchased from Amazon.com for $30. In the same vein, there was recently a link to the Anti-Monopoly game (The Green Head Referrer, OhGizmo! Referrer) which pits Competitors against the Monopolists and purports to be an “upgraded” version of the original. I’d be curious to see how it played but not curious enough to buy the game. Anti-Monopoly can be purchased from the Anti-Monopoly web site for $21. Finally, linked below, is a Surefire Strategy entitled “How to Win at Monopoly”. It puts numbers on what DrFaulken and I had already determined for the best properties to own and to auction and let slide for less then full price. I wasn’t aware of what a gold mine the railroads were though typically neither of us ever allows the other to get more then two railroads anyway. |

Way cool — nice to see we weren’t just a bunch of kooks. I was talking about Monopoly on Tuesday during orientation at the new jerb. I agree that trying to get more than two railroads requires extreme luck or good trading with someone who may already own one.
