What our customer's say!
"Counting the bigger money is a pain, split board is cheap, but still a lot of fun!", It sounds great when you collect rent and it is now in the hundreds of thousands or millions, that is until you have to count and make change all the time. I had no idea there was an electronic banking version so will have to check that out. Aside from that, I thought the board itself was defective the way it is now folded into quarters. I hate the big gap left by the new fold, really makes it feel "cheap". Aside from that, the idea of an updated game is great, and it's still a ton of fun to play.
"T. Martin", Monopoly is a great game/gift for any age....bought this for my 20 year old son and he still loves playing it.....
"Monopoly Here and now", This specific monopoly was a good thing to buy for new places on the board and new peices, as for the rules they remain the same, even though the cash has increased it is basicly the same they just added digets which means your playing the old monopoly. As far as the cards go they are changed slightly which is good no one wants to read the same material for more then a decade before it becomes well outdated. As for the rest of the rating, other monopoly games you can purchase cash for (on amazon.com) which is genaric. On Hasbro you can also purchase additional houses, hotels, and replacement tokens. If you are wanting something custom then you cant buy additional replacments which can be a downfall if you have young children.
"Don't like it!", Don't like this because of the property choices. Letting America "chose" is just basically pandering to the mindless masses. And the most populated areas are guaranteed to win.
There are a lot of sports stadiums. Why? You can't build houses in them, I know, I know, you build next to them, but I would rather have bona fide places. I hate these sports stadiums. Worse are natural wonders, who's going to build houses in the middle of nowhere? It would have been best to let a professional game designer design the game. I made a mistake when I bought this on sale, I should have known that it was on sale because it was poor selling.
My second gripe is that the millions of paper money value is confusing. You have inflation, blah, blah, blah, but buying a stadium for a few million bucks? That's not realistic either.
I guess the only saving grace of this is it introduces different American landmarks to a young generation of kids.
My final verdict is that they should redo this and give some proper thought to what properties to include. Times Square, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Silicon Valley, etc. are a few good places to start.
"Fun, but no major changes", First of all, I love Monopoly, although I don't play it anymore because I own the FAR SUPERIOR Monopoly: the Mega Edition. Aside from Mega Monopoly, however, Monopoly Here & Now is my favorite version of the classic property-buying game.
Monopoly Here & Now is the same game as the original. Everything is different, but the game is still the same. Popular properties from all over America have take the place of Boardwalk, St. Charles Place, Illinois Ave., etc., Utilities are now Service Providers, Railroads are now Airports, the Chance/Community Chest cards are different, the tokens have changed, and - this is what people love - you now get million dollar bills in lieu of hundreds, hundred-thousands in lieu of tens, etc. But the game is still the same, despite the modern makeover.
This is a double-edged sword. You're getting what you know with a modern look to it, but I wish that if Parker Bros. are going to make a new version of the game, that they would at least make some major changes.
The cards are essentially the same. Each card was taken, the amount changed proportionally (if there's money involved), the location names, if any, have been changed, and a new picture of Mr. Monopoly has been added. Cards such as those that send you to jail and get you out free have remained the same, plus an added caption telling you why you were incarcerated. Even the buildings are the same. Tax squares make you pay an equivalent amount to the old game, but since we're now dealing with millions, you will either have to pay $750,000 (Credit Card Interest - Luxury Tax was $75; see the similarity?) or $2 million/10% instead of $200/10% on Income Tax.
Still, you can't argue with fun. But if you want something different, try Mega Monopoly.
Mega Monopoly is somewhat the same game, but it has more properties, Bus Tickets, a Speed Die, Skyscrapers, Depots, etc. If you want a different (and WAY better) Monopoly experience, Mega Monopoly is what you want. If you simply want to keep playing classic Monopoly, but with a different look, buy Monopoly Here & Now.
Have fun! I hope you enjoy this product or Mega Monopoly (I prefer the latter, it's much more fun)!

Read this reviews before You buy...
"Love it!", My family just loves this "up to date" game. It's fun dealing with such large amounts of money. Monopoly always seems to know how to put a new twist on an old favorite. We have Disney Monopoly, Eloise Monopoly Junior and the Here and Now edition. Very fun!
"A Fun New Version of a Classic", This new version is a lot of fun, but takes a few plays to get used to. You use large sums of money to buy favorite vacation destinations from across the U.S. The utilities got an update to internet and cell phone providers, and the trains are now airports. It is a fun updated version, but the classic will always be a favorite.
"Our sons, not usually fans of board games loved this. Here's why", Imagine this: ice-covered streets, no computer or television access and a pack of snowbound teens. This game literally saved the day. They played it for hours. Then they played it again the next day...and a week later. It has come in handy more times than I can say.
How and why this appeals to them more than traditional MOnopoly is not totally clear but here are some key factors: 1. It is a total revamp of the old MOnopoly
2. The cost of living increased 10,0000 fold. There are some different types of cards and new businesses such as Starbucks, Laptop computers and othe items are included. Whatever the reason, any board game that keeps groups of teens safely inside in cold weather and having hours of fun is a major plus!
"Fun, updated version", We bought this in order to start a new tradition for our 11 year daughter on Family Fun Night. It is neat, updated version. We miss the "kitty" on "FREE PARKING" with the new version. But, the money amounts are more realistic than the original and there are airports, instead of railroads. The Community Chest and Chance haven't changed much, except for money amounts.
The utilities are now internet services. Luxury tax is now income tax.
Some of the updated playing pieces are a Labradoodle, New Balance tennis shoe, airplane, Starbuck's mug, laptop and cellphone.
We find it annoying that you have to separate the money before putting the game up. It won't fit in the box when it is still in the bankers plastic area.
Overall, we think this is still a great game, maybe even better than the original~!
"A Pleasant Change", Its a good change from the classic version.
Pros:- -Millions and Billions of dollars transacted , so it does improve calculations. -New and Modern places. (Times Square, White House , Hollywood) -Better Houses and Hotels -Innovative tokens.
Cons:- -Those who are used to the classical game might find the transition difficult but onces used to this , you will love this one.
