TF-fan kev777 wrote:Okay, so when did Monopoly get hit by Hasbro's parts count limits? The board is missing 2 spaces on each side from the standard board. Looks like 6 properties were cut along with some of the random tax spaces, but Metroplex and Trypticon appear to be sort of like properties now.

While it retains the original 40 sided board (as opposed to the newer modified 32 sided one... ). It does have newer changes I'm not fond of like making the properties directly after GO Brown, and the title deeds themselves rectangular instead of square (not earth shaking, but still...why mess with the classics?)

I feel complete however. I have a Decent Original Monopoly. I have the 1st Star Wars Monopoly (1997), 1st Transformers Monopoly (2007), and now Godzilla Monopoly (2020). I think I have all my major hobbies covered, unless they come out with a Super Robot Anime Monopoly, which I highly doubt.

All the variants for whatever interest you have are nice, but when they start changing the board itself, the speed die (I hate that stupid thing), and some of the other more traditional facets of the game, it just becomes far less special IMHO.

If it's the one that came out on 2007, or 2009, those are DW designs, not IDW, which I very much appreciate.

2007/2009 has designs based on DW
the 30th anniversary 2014 version has designs based on the original Toy Box Art
then there's the duper-duper deluxe version released at ComicCon in 2017

Hasbro commissioned a major graphic redesign to the U.S. Standard Edition of the game in 2008 along with some minor revisions. Among the changes: the colors of Mediterranean and Baltic Avenues changed from purple to brown, and the colors of the GO square changed from red to black. A flat $200 Income Tax was imposed (formerly the player's choice of $200 or 10% of their total holdings, which they could not calculate until after making their final decision). Originally the amount was $300 but was changed a year after the game's debut,[33] and the Luxury Tax amount increased to $100 from $75. There were also changes to the Chance and Community Chest cards; for example, the "poor tax", "receive for services", "Xmas fund matures", and "grand opera opening" cards became "speeding fine", "receive $25 consultancy fee", "holiday fund matures", and "it is your birthday", respectively; though their effects remained the same; the player must pay only $50 instead of $150 for the school tax. In addition, a player now gets $50 instead of $45 for sale of stock, and the Advance to Illinois Avenue card now has the added text indicating a player collects $200 if they pass Go on the way there.[34]

No they were Dark Purple for the longest time. The Godzilla 2020 version is the first time I've ever seen them Brown, (I see it on other more recent additions as well), not sure when the change happened

Maybe because the original board is rigged. It remains a game of chance but there is 1 strategy using that board which will make someone win everytime.

Maybe the new board makes things more fair for a diverse game.

"Something feels amiss?" As Dinobot would say.
