PLAYED FOR YOU

Monopoly

Zapped Edition

Monopoly has arrived in the 21^st century! The classic board game on money and real estate can now be combined with an app. On the familiar board you play a game of Monopoly just as you know it, based on the Monopoly Banking edition with a banking card for each player. You roll, move, buy slots, build houses and hotels and pay or earn rent; passing Start earns you money and if you are lucky in your rolls you get out of Jail fast. If you go bankrupt you quit the game; the last one in play wins.

The app is loaded and the device is placed on the game board. The app works as a bank together with the touch cards, you simply press the arrow onto the display. After you have moved your marker, you press your name in the app, then you touch the task menu and touch the icon for the square on which you ended your move; then you implement the corresponding actions. The app can give you information and give you tips, you can use the app to buy houses and hotels, trade with other players and can also resolve actions while in Jail. Especially attractive and different from the standard Monopoly are the mini games, which you must play when you end up on an Event or Community square.

This surely is an interesting version for all those Monopoly fans that own one of the app-able devices, but do not want to miss the flair of a board game with moving of markers and rolling dice. The graphics are new and very clear and - not typically for monopoly - not very colorful; the mini games are fun and if you do not have a monopoly yet, but own one of the i-devices you can now enter the Monopoly Universe from the electronic side.
