Monopoly Toy Story Board Game Family and Children Aged 8+

Product Information

I am eagerly anticipating the release of Toy Story 4 this summer. Not because my kids are asking every other day when it's time for the movie to come out (although they are), but because I remember seeing the first two Toy Story movies in theaters as a kid and then the third in college, and I'm itching to see the latest installment of Buzz, Woody, and the gang and feel all of the feels right alongside my own children. In the meantime, we're going to play the new Monopoly: Toy Story Edition game every single day to get ourselves ready for the big screen return of the beloved Toy Story characters. A tribute to a classic car, this version gives you the chance to own one, even if as part of a Monopoly game. The Corvette was introduced at the General Motors Motorama in 1953 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. The game features 50 years of Corvette models, from shark coupes to stingray convertibles as players collect the best of American-made sports cars. This 50th edition of Monopoly from Parker Brothers features an anniversary token—the special Monopoly train—one of 10 tokens produced in a gold finish for the occasion. The houses and hotels are in wood as in the original version. A new organizing tray for deeds and cash was also included. This unique My Monopoly version of the game allows players to custom design their game, choosing from among 100 of the country’s national parks, selecting the Great Smoky Mountains to put down on Boardwalk, for example. Add in wildlife as well, including the grizzly bear and the bald eagle. The pewter tokens represent the parks, among them a canoe, the Statue of Liberty, a bison, a ranger hat, a cannon, and a bicycle.

In this version, you play as one of The Avengers. Iron Man, the Wasp, the Hulk, Thor, the Ant-Man, and Captain America collect power when they pass go, which can be used to save properties. The goal is to save each property from the villains. Community Chest and Chance cards are replaced with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Villain cards in this Marvel version of the classic game. Here is the classic Monopoly game with a modern twist. As with any version of Monopoly there are tokens, houses, hotels, and Chance and Community Chest cards, but this new edition has debit cards instead of cash. Players wheel and deal their way around the board with electronic transfers in Monopoly’s banking card system. Other updates: a Segway and a tin of Altoids among the tokens, airports instead of railroads, and such properties as Times Square and Texas Stadium. The popular sitcom “Seinfeld” is played on the Monopoly board with the show’s unforgettable characters, Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer. Players draw yadda yadda yadda cards and land on Jerry’s Apartment, Monk’s Restaurant, The Chinese Restaurant, and the Non-fat Yogurt Shop. The New York City Subway and Kramer’s Central Park Carriage replace railroads. The bills include “Seinfeld” quotes, including “No soup for you.”The “Friends” television series inspired the places and characters of this version of the game. Players move around the board as Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, and Joey as they experience Monica and Chandler’s wedding and other iconic moments. Houses have become coffee mugs, while hotels are sofas. The Chance and Community Chest cards are named after the well-known apartments of the series—Apartment 19 and Apartment 20. Tokens include a handbag, sweater vest, pizza, chef’s hat, guitar, and dinosaur. The “Toy Story” version of Monopoly is based on all four of the movies, and features tokens of their characters, Andy’s Toy Chest Cards, and Birthday cards. The six Toy Story character tokens include Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie. If you wish, you can experiment at playing Monopoly by starting with more or less money than usual, although I wouldn’t recommend this.

The Monopoly Junior game is a simple introduction to the iconic Monopoly game. With easy and exciting gameplay, kids can have a fun, fast adventure as they move around the board as they journey through the cityscape of Monopoly Town. Players land on kid-friendly spaces in Monopoly Town such as the Ice Cream Parlour, the Skate Park, and the Zoo, as they buy up properties, collect rent, and discover their fortune. The player with the most money after any other player goes bankrupt wins! Monopoly: Spongebob Squarepants Edition uses the same rules as regular Monopoly but with the older breakdown of bank notes: This change made the Monopoly money distribution universal across the globe, bringing the United States in line with the United Kingdom, which has always used just 16 notes for each player at the start of the game.

Customer reviews

The Monopoly game has long been attributed to an unemployed man named Charles Darrow, who was said to have thought up the game in the early 1930s, sold it to the Parker Brothers in 1935, and made millions from his enormously successful creation. GREAT FAMILY BOARD GAME FOR AGES 8 AND UP: With similar rules to the classic Monopoly game, families can ease right into playing this Toy Story edition of the game; it's designed for 2 to 6 players

The “Wizard of Oz” version includes a pop-up 3D center board, the first in a Monopoly game. Like the movie, the game’s board begins in sepia and turns into color. Red dice match Dorothy’s red slippers and the six tokens represent the movie’s characters: the Scarecrow diploma, Toto, the Cowardly Lion medal, the Tin Man’s heart, the witch’s hat, and finally the ruby slippers. Includes gameboard, 4 Junior tokens, 20 Chance cards, 48 Sold signs, 90 Monopoly banknotes, 1 die, 4 Who's Your Token? Character cards, and game guide. This version of The Landlord’s Game features a photo of Elizabeth Magie on the box. She created two sets of rules for the game. Under one set, everyone benefited when wealth was created. The other encouraged the creation of monopolies and ruthless behavior toward opponents. But wait—there’s more to this story. Mary Pilon, a former Wall Street Journal and New York Times reporter, discovered that it was a woman who was behind one of America’s most enduring pastimes. Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie got a patent for what was called The Landlord’s Game in 1904, and it sounds very much like Monopoly. If your Monopoly set was made in the United States before September 2008, then you will have a slightly different distribution of money listed in the official rules.

Based on the Nintendo game about the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario’s quest to save the princess and the kingdom, this edition provides six custom-designed tokens of Mario, his brother Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Super Mushroom, and 1-up Mushroom. The board features the world of the Mario Bros. In each country’s version of Monopoly, players will receive the same amount of starting money in the same denomination of notes. The only difference is that the Monopoly money will be called dollars, pounds, Euros, or whatever the currency is of the country in question. Older versions of Monopoly will have currencies like French Francs or Spanish Pesetas. This version of Monopoly transports Disney princesses to the game board, with four Disney princess tokens and magic kingdoms to build. Each player takes on the role of a Disney princess as they travel the board buying such properties as Mulan’s Shan-Yu School and Jasmine’s Magic Carpet Ride.
