America’s wilderness gets its own edition in this version of the board game that highlights national parks and wildlife refuges, mountain ranges, glaciers, fjords, and forests in the 49th state. Players can buy and sell real estate in the Land of the Midnight Sun. By the early 1930s, The Landlord’s Game had evolved and various versions became popular on the East Coast. During the Great Depression, Darrow learned a version of Magie’s game from a friend who was a member of the Quaker community in Atlantic City, New Jersey, according to Pilon. If you wish, you can experiment at playing Monopoly by starting with more or less money than usual, although I wouldn’t recommend this.

But wait—there’s more to this story. Mary Pilon, a former Wall Street Journal and New York Times reporter, discovered that it was a woman who was behind one of America’s most enduring pastimes. Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie got a patent for what was called The Landlord’s Game in 1904, and it sounds very much like Monopoly. The 60th anniversary edition was issued for the diamond celebration of the game and it includes tokens with an antique bronze finish, a 1930s version of Rich Uncle Pennybags, and a commemorative dice cup that resembles his top hat. Rich Uncle Pennybags or Mr. Monopoly, the mascot of the game, was reportedly based on J.P. Morgan. He was added to the Monopoly board in 1936, according to “The Monopoly Companion: The Players’ Guide” by Philip Orbanes. This version of The Landlord’s Game features a photo of Elizabeth Magie on the box. She created two sets of rules for the game. Under one set, everyone benefited when wealth was created. The other encouraged the creation of monopolies and ruthless behavior toward opponents. If your Monopoly set was made in the United States before September 2008, then you will have a slightly different distribution of money listed in the official rules.Indulge in some wanderlust with this French-language version, part of a French city series of Monopoly. The cover shows the Pont d’Avignon, its famous medieval bridge. Besides the adventures in France, Monopoly travels across Europe, from Gibraltar to Romania, from Italy to Russia. The 85th anniversary edition of Monopoly is studded with more than 2,000 of the iconic Swarovski crystals. A limited edition of 500 games, the Swarovski marries two enduring symbols of wealth. It is played on a tempered glass game board with gold and silver foil and colored stones on each property. The gold colored tokens include a special 85th edition ring token. Here is the classic Monopoly game with a modern twist. As with any version of Monopoly there are tokens, houses, hotels, and Chance and Community Chest cards, but this new edition has debit cards instead of cash. Players wheel and deal their way around the board with electronic transfers in Monopoly’s banking card system. Other updates: a Segway and a tin of Altoids among the tokens, airports instead of railroads, and such properties as Times Square and Texas Stadium.

This Monopoly game is designed to be long, from the long game board with 66 properties and only one die. The game does not end until someone owns every property. With tortoise and hare tokens, the game also does not allow auctions, but does award cash for landing on free parking. In both Monopoly: Gamer Edition and Monopoly Super Mario Celebration edition, players start the game with just 10 gold coins – 5 single coins and 1 x 5 gold coin. The games use much lower values, with the most expensive properties costing just 5 gold coins. How much money do you start with in Frozen monopoly?
