Monopoly: New Zealand (1960)

About this game

A monopoly (from Greek monos μÏŒνος (alone or single) + polein πωλεá¿–ν (to sell)) exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. Monopoly is a roll-and-move game where players move around the game board buying or trading properties, developing their properties with houses and hotels. When opponents land on players owned property, the owning player collects rent from the landing player. Owning sets of properties increases the rent paid to the player who owns them, by the player who lands on the square. The ultimate goal is to have the most money and drive opponents into bankruptcy. Monopoly themed on New Zealand.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
