Summary: A world of difference from the original? Not really
Comment: Monopoly Here and Now World Edition has fun components. Tokens are six from 20 created to commemorate each city on the board; houses and hotels are fun little sculptures based on real buildings and abodes.
The infamous Internet vote for which cities to include means world-class places like Venice, Vienna, Moscow, Munich, San Francisco, Dubai and Buenos Aires missed out, while the positioning of others on the board is very much open to debate, but that's part of the fun.
Greasy piles of banknotes being replaced by a credit card may or may not be an improvement, depending on your world view. But it's certainly novel, if you have a head for numbers, because there's no way to check your balance without inserting the card in the bank machine -- which you will soon grow tired of doing, especially if you're the nominated banker.
Monopoly is always going to be Monopoly. I don't care for the over-colourful and crowded board design, but this is still the world's best property trading game at the end of the day.

Summary: Fun
Comment: just got it yesterday. played until 5 in the morning!!! with only 2 friends!!! just hope the banking system doesn't give us problems. it does take more time than the banking original one, but still much less than counting the money

Summary: show me the money
Comment: Cool images but had problems with money device; it would zero out sometimes and no on wrote their dollar amounts down so it was kinda annoying. Wish they would offer this board but with paper money. I could use the old Monopoly money I have, but translating bills from the new "million" system is not worth it when playing with kids.

Summary: digital banking device has a SHORT lifespan
Comment: We have only played the game three (3) time. The digital banking device that keeps track of your balance stopped working in the middle of game play. So I pressed the reset button - Nothing. We put in fresh batteries - Nothing. Then everyone quit, because no one wanted to play with real paper money (from one of our various other sets). I then sent an email to Amazon website to alert them of the problem. I brought it during the lightening deals for $25 plus tax. I am just hoping the set I got was just defective, and not something that is worldwide. I would like Monopoly Here and Now World replaced ASAP! I still don,t know the difference between M and K. I wished it was in $ (Million & Thousands).
