I use it at work too. It’s nice to have the real thing.
Open Office works ok too, but the real thing is nice.
It’s worth the student / home price, but I couldn’t
justify the several hundred dollar full price.

fun game, even better once modified. This is a great “travel” Monopoly game. The one remark I want to make though, is that there are probably too many “money” cards and not enough “rent” cards. In other words, the money supply seems to far exceed the money demand in this game.
So, what you normally end up with, are the losers of this game finishing with a ton of money in their banks because they never had to pay out much — not very realistic to have losers who are very wealthy.
To fix this problem, buy two of these games and take all the “rent” cards out of one game and add them to your other game. This will make money a more valuable resource since the increased # of “rent” cards will present a larger danger to each player’s bank.
This will also have the effect of rewarding players who lay down property cards so that they can collect rent from them — the whole reason that you want to own property (and play the game of Monopoly) in the first place, right?
I also think this increases strategy somewhat because Hasbro Games Monopoly Deal Card Game puts you at a decision between using your property to collect valuable money or hoarding the property in your hand to keep it protected. As the game is now, it’s pretty much a no-brainer that, of the three types of cards, the property card is the last type you want to lay down (unless you have very powerful action card).

Scrabble on Speed. I find the game stimulating and so different from other games I’ve played. I am most skilled verbally (but math scares the hell out of me), and this game is a challenge because Scrabble Slam Deluxe Card Game is played with only 4 letter words, so vocabulary is not of much concern. I like it for me as an elder citizen (62 y/o) because I feel it keeps me verbally alert at an important time in my life to do that. I like it a lot because I can play with my friends and my 5 & 6 year old great-nieces. Also, it is very compact and can easily be played on a plane or in a car, etc. Anyone can play and most everyone will enjoy its fast paced structure, ease for all ages, and super-easy to take it along when traveling. Plus, it will keep the kids occupied, adults can play with kids, and it will keep adults occupied as time flies by! Even though I have good verbal skills, I am not the winner in at least 3/4 of the games I play. I can write, I know words, and think/speak well “on my feet,” but I am just not as fast as many others! They love that!!
another topic:
One of my friends and I play regular Scrabble just about every time she can get here or I can to her home (we live over 25 miles apart) and we started keeping count, and use a steno pad for keeping record of each game. We are up to #125. We had many more games before we started this steno pad, keeping the pages numbered. Some might say we’re a bit obsessive/compulsive but we just keep on playing. Both of us experience what we call “Jonesing” for a game after about 4 days without playing!
