Monopoly Voice Banking

A talking top-hat!

Mr. Monopoly - known all over the world for his top hat and his moustache - is now the voice of Monopoly, represented by his top hat - because in this version of Monopoly the top hat of Mr. Monopoly is our game master and directs our play with T-Rex, cat, dog or racing car.

Mr. Monopoly - within his top hat - auctions real estate that was not bought; if you want to bid, you press the button of your mover at the top hat and thus raise the bid by 50M. Train stations are not bought; you take a train there, so to say, because you are sent to a random case by Mr. Monopoly which you then resolve according to standard mechanisms and rules. If you end up on a Swap case, you can pay 100M to another player and swap an empty real estate lot with him, he cannot refuse the exchange. Instead of building first a house and then a hotel, you can decide if you a hotel immediately, but can only build one house or one hotel on a lot and can sell neither house nor hotel. There is only one card physically present in the game, the „Get out of Jail“ card; all other events are administrated by Mr. Monopoly.

For an action, you press the button of your mover, name the intended action and wait - for buying, auctioning, paying rent or swapping - for a signal from the unit, after which you then name the respective lot. If someone goes bankrupt, Mr. Monopoly names the winner of the game.

The same core mechanisms - roll die, move, buy, auction or pay rent - are embellished with a lot of new details and there is even - albeit limited - communication with Mr. Monopoly. A well-made version of the classic best-selling game.
