Monopoly Deal

[Guest2]

Id never heard of this game until my dad played it on holday recently.
It sounded quite complicated but i've been at my parents the past couple of days and picked it up after one game with my dad. After that we went on to play another 20 odd games over 2 days.

Highly addictive, especially after a 'few' beers and wines

Anyone else play?

It's £4-6 in supermakets, a bit more from Amazon/online. I overpaid when drunk for a red hard case version from eBay

I've played Monopoly for years, since being a young kid in fact as it was a main form of entertainment especially on holidays. Monopoly (original UK one) there seemed to be many adapted rules which some do and dont play - things like £400 for langoing on go, free parking you get all tax, bidding and auctioning properties etc.
Monopoly deal rules are a lot clearer and the game is much faster paced. Some games last nighter were over in 5 mins - despite being quite close. Its still dependant on the cards of course, much like the dice in original but there seems to be more strategy too

For anyone wanting a little bit more from the UK classic board games, the obvious recommendation is the Settlers of Catan (or just ‘Catan’). Ways in which its better than say, Monopoly:

- more strategy;
- shorter (Monopoly always has a painful war of attrition end game);
- less downtime as you can do something small on everyone’s go;
- the board can vary at every set up so it’s always different.

If you were a family of 4 with kids ages 8+ it’s a winner. It’s also the classic game I bust out when I have friends over for drinks - easy enough to play without having to really concentrate.

Amazon link below as it’s easy for showing the right version but maybe try and buy local if you can:

I do like board games but they take time and setting up.
Monopoly deal being a card game just seems like a much easier 10 minute game when you can get a deck of cards out and its quicky put them away. Whoever at Hasbro came up with the idea of Monopoly deal is a genius
