Monopoly Revolution

revolving and revolutionizing

A nice play on words and of the game – we now literally revolve around the board and encounter a revolution of the game, the new zones!

This new edition again makes use of the card reader already introduced in Monopoly Banking: Payments, auctions and events are handled using bank cards and the card reader. But even this has been pepped up - it now plays music and gives off additional sound effects.

The basic rules have remained the same: You roll the dice, move your marker and implement the space you have reached as usual. New are 4 Utilities now instead of 2 to give you more chances for earning rent and there are now zones on the board. All spaces on the board do now belong to one of four zones – Walking Zone, Cycle Zone, Car Zone or Rocket Zone. In each Zone there is one space called Zone Space. If you land on such a zone space you must either choose a zone or auction the nearest unowned property. If you choose a zone, you then use the card reader to determine an event which must be implemented by all players with their markers in the chosen zone. If you choose auction and all properties are taken, you can force a deal. You can only force a deal if you yourself own a property that does not belong to a complete set. If you have such a property you choose another such property not part of a set and owned by another player and swap the Title Deeds. The other player cannot refuse this deal.

A nicely rounded new version of an old friend, with different flair and also different possibilites for your game play, the zone spaces can be very very useful.
