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).

trust the instructions, it DOES make mroe sense to play. So my boyfriend bought this game for us to play becuase we love monopoly but hate that it takes 6 years to finish a game. This game is fun, addictive and makes so much more sense when you play than just reading the instructions. It’s pretty self explanatory and involves end of turn strategery to win

Almost Perfect!. This game is SO absolutely fun!!!

The only thing I would change is the instructions a little. some of the rules seem unclear or are simply not mentioned. You almost have to come up with your own rules to playing.

Overall, I ended up purchasing 1 for myself, as well as a couple as stocking stuffers for Friends & Family for the holidays!

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!

Hands down great game. We play a lot of games and this is one of our favorites now. It’s fast paced and fun. We are buying one for our friends for Christmas.
