Monopoly: Here and Now – The World Edition (2008)

About this game

Note: Not to be confused with Monopoly: Here & Now World Edition from 2015. From the box: The world's number 1 game has gone global! Millions of people from all over the world voted for their greatest cities so now everyone, no matter where they live, can play the MONOPOLY game on a global scale. Travel around the world's greatest cities, wheeling and dealing in millions of MONOPOLY dollars. As you travel, build house and hotels inspired by buildings from across the world - from mud huts to skyscrapers. Discover which cities were voted the greatest by the world! As you play, discover interesting facts about the world on the Chance and Community chest cards... do you know which country has the most biycycles or what the most expensive work of art ever created is? There are 24 movers from around the world - each box contains six chosen at random. Uses an electronic banking unit with cards not cash and a deal button for faster play!

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.
