[edit] Call for expansion
If anyone else has a special edition board, please photograph it, upload the photograph, and add the appropriate description! --JohnDBuell 02:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- I have an Aachen one but no camera, so if anyone else could get a pic.... --iamajpeg 10:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I work at a local game store in my mall and we have quite a few monopolys listed here, it wouldnt be at all difficult for me to photogrpah many of them, however, i dont know what the difference is to many of them. Oh, and the bond edition that was just released isnt on the list, nor the snoopy ( not peanuts, just snoopy) version, nor the Rudolph edition, nor the john deer edition, and i dont think i saw the Here and Now edition either though i may have just missed it.

[edit] Looney Tunes edition
Note that there IS a second Looney Tunes edition board (with a red lid, different tokens, etc.), one that was produced by USAopoly under license from Hasbro. The latter board is NOT a numbered limited edition, and was sold in wide release. --JohnDBuell 02:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nintendo Monopoly
When I was at Nintendo World in New York, I saw a Nintendo Monopoly game. When I got home and read my Aug. issue of Nintendo Power, I found out that they were selling it in other stores too. If someone else doesn't do this soon, I plan to. dogman15 22:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Some information on this edition is now available on usaopoly.com, as well as a new American Chopper edition. --JohnDBuell 02:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- If someone can provide descriptions, i can provide photos Ace1580 07:11, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List expansion
Oh PLEASE let's not make this just another list of bland links with no descriptions or photographs! PLEASE? The list on Monopoly (game), that was merely just links, was getting sooooooooooo long. And all the titles are great, but I like seeing what has made all the different boards unique.... Okay, off of my soapbox. --JohnDBuell 01:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I absolutely agree that it is better to have more information than not enough, but [IMO] it's really nice to have a master list to be able to simply add information to, and rather than have each entry with a differently formatted wikitable, I added blanks so there would be more consistency as the page grew.

I will take photos of the editions I own, and upload them, but I don't have much in the way of historical info/trivia. -- HobbesPDX 02:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kiss
I saw a version in a store called 'Kiss Monopoly' it has members of the kiss band on the front
"Kiss-opoly" is an unoffical board. It's one of Late for the Sky Production Company's games, not an official Hasbro license. --JohnDBuell 00:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What else to include?
Should we include the different "basic game" boards for Spain, where they are clearly based on Barcelona or Madrid? What about the "Handheld Electronic" edition? Or skip that last one, since it's not actually a "board"? --JohnDBuell 00:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still more boards
I recently saw a copy of "Option One Mortgage Company Limited Edition" Monopoly in a mortgage banker's office. This was probably another company who had a set of games made up for them to give away in a promotion. --JohnDBuell 16:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Confusion with Localized versions of the Monopoly game
There are two separate lists, this one and the one for localised verions. There seems to be some overlap between these. LukeSurl 11:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- There are a few games that are duplicated, but the list here goes into more detail about specific boards and game sets, which the other article does not (the only differences pointed out there are regarding the properties on the localized boards). This article also includes or is meant to include as many of the third party licenses as possible. As long as the actual information remains different, I really don't see that the overlap should be a significant problem. --JohnDBuell 16:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
