Monopoly: Onyx Edition (2007)

About this game

The gameboard on this edition is smaller (16x16), does not fold, and is made of black wood and brushed silver tin. The contents include: all 11 classic tokens with an antiqued silver finish, miniature deeds, Chance and Community Chest cards and money, a black Title Deed carousel, a silver bank, 2 huge black dice, and miniature translucent plastic houses and hotels each in a black velvet bag. This is a very nice Barnes and Noble exclusive.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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.
