Monopoly: Singapore (2000)

About this game

Typical regional Monopoly game. Place names are specific to Singapore, for example: Boardwalk - Queen Astrid Park Park Place - Nassim Road Reading RR - Ang Mo Kio Station All prices and currency amounts are multiplied (inflated?) by a factor of 10, including the cash, which otherwise looks almost exactly like that in a US set, from white 10s to orange 5000s, and yes - the most numerous are green 200s. Also includes a (white metal die-cast) "Merlion" token, which is the official mascot of Singapore. The "Merlion" is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Note that earlier versions (~ before 2000s) do not include the "Merlion" token.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
