Monopoly: NFL Official (1998)

About this game

An NFL themed version that according to the box "includes all 31 NFL teams" - 30 by my count on the board and in the league at the time - with low-ranked Colts and Cardinals as properties at the cheap end of the board and 1997 Superbowl winner Broncos at the other. Each Railroad is a pair of teams. All the cards and other components have a football theme. Strangely the rules aren't "translated", but have a preamble that explains the differences, e.g. stadiums equate to hotels.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
