Since its inception in the early years of the 20th century, the Monopoly game continues to be one of the most entertaining tabletop pastimes among friends and families across the world. Many parents encourage their children to play Monopoly, as the game is considered to be an effective yet fun way to teach kids the value of money – how to earn, save, spend, and invest properly. In some ways, Monopoly shows a glimpse of what life could be when they become adults themselves.
Today, this fast-dealing property trading board game has diversified from the original classic into many forms and designs that depict modern day scenarios and pop culture themes. Some of these “newer” Monopoly games have tools and rules than allow (or even require) players to improvise or do something unconventional in order to win or prevent another player from winning – offering more hours of unlimited fun and laughter.
This summer, engage everyone of your housemates in a thrilling game of Monopoly… with a fun twist! If you think the old rules should not apply, then check these out!
