How would you compare this model to the Danbury mint monopoly version that came out a few years back?

I have not purchased the other. The description appears the same though. I also saw this version for $29.99 with free shipping.

I'm not familiar with the board game version, but electronic is very portable. For a board game I'd recommend Imaginiff, my family loves it and we often play several rounds because it's so much fun and keeps us laughing for hours.

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal.

You should check out Charge Large by Hasbro (Parker Brothers/Milton Bradley)... It's like a new monopoly but focuses on credit cards and investing in a fun way. If you could establish a happy medium between Monopoly and Cashflow - Charge Large is your board game of choice, for sure!

It comes with the smaller, plastic pawns. What was most annoying is that I apparently have an older, original game and they've redone the artwork on the back of the cards. So, the new cards don't match the old ones.

The 1910 expansion works with the ttruth board game. It comes with new routes and train cards. I assume it's the same with the European expansion too but I'm not sure.

Thanks! Yesterday it was out of stock, and today I checked again and it was in stock so I ordered it. It's for my little cousin for Christmas.I was tempted to get the bundle (monopoly express) but that was like $5 more + $7 shipping so it probably ends up costing as much as the express anyway.This one was 97¢ shipping, total is like $33ish :)

I am not sure but I do remember that there were additional features on it that I was used to having on the game whenever I played it in the past. Seems there was something important different. Maybe the cheaper one does not have a timer and score keeper and maybe there are more categories in the more expensive one. It really is a fun game, especially when you have a small group and play in teams.

Yes. The game board is slightly larger - one extra square in each direction. You can ignore the extras by covering them, or not. We don't own the original, and when we played this one our first time, we played by the original rules to get a feel for how it played before adding in the additional features.

The box I received has a trademark of 1972, 2013. It is the classic board, good quality, and the planchette is plastic. Both pieces are as I remember them from childhood.

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

The game is mainly the same. However, there have been some minor changes to some of the wording in the game. Unfortunately, as the manufacturer used the same UPC the seller might have only had the older version as this version was released in mid 2013.

I have not seen the jumbo game version. But, there is hardly any difference between the regular sized board and the Deluxe.....maybe an inch, but that's it! Do not waste your money on the Deluxe version if you are looking for a larger playing board.

The board is a little bigger than the traditional cardboard board. The tiles are the exact same size. The board has slots so the tiles do not move around like in the old version. It's really great!

It appears to be an updated version. It's a nice game, but not the original that we played when we were kids. It does look very similar,however.

Second Edition is MUCH better. The rules are clearer, there are MRE pieces, the board is arranged better. Playability is more balanced. Of course, First edition plays quicker, but it is less balanced for play and has a lot less realism to it. Between the two, second edition is VASTLY superior.
