Monopoly: The Beatles Collector's Edition (2008)

About this game

This version of Monopoly, licensed by Apple Studios, is based upon the English band "The Beatles". The goal is to collect Beatles albums from "Please, Please Me" to "Let It Be". The pewter tokens include a walrus, a sun, a raccoon, a octopus, a strawberry, and a hammer. The currency is "All You Need Is Love" money. The houses have been renamed listening parties, and the hotels have been renamed concerts. The Income Tax space has been renamed "Taxman" and the Luxury Tax space has been renamed "Ticket To Ride". The properties are albums and points of interest with Boardwalk and Park Place renamed Apple Studios and Abbey Road Studios.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 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.
