Dedicated to the Collecting and History of Monopoly
Released: 1999
Monopoly Play Bites included 6 single use scratch card games. Designed for two players, they can also be used for just one person.
Players scratch boxes on the card until someone owns 3 matching title deeds. The player with the most money wins.
This handheld copy of Monopoly plays exactly like the regular board game.
Play against 5 different computer opponents: Diamond Jim, Penny Wise, Connie Cashola, Hot Shot or Greedy Granny. Each character has different voices and styles of playing. Other audio (such as reading Chance and Community Chest cards) is provided by Rich Uncle Pennybags.
Requires 3 AA batteries.
Monopoly Jackpot is a one player handheld slot machine. Players aim to rack up high scores.
Getting the right combination will activate the bonus game. In this minigame, you move around the gameboard, earning credits for every property you land on. Landing on Boardwalk earns the top prize of 500 credits!
Released: 1990
Each player has a parking meter which must be fed time. This time can be used on errands, which earn the player points. The first player to achieve 200 points is declared the winner.
However, if a player has no time left on the meter and another player uses a ‘Warden Jones’ card against them then they receive a penalty and must return one completed errand card back to the pile – loosing its points value. A ‘Warden Jones’ card can be cancelled by a ‘Talk Your Way Out Of It’ card.
During each turn, a player can optionally draw a ‘Second Chance’ card – these can be good or bad, but must be played immediately.
Released: 1991
Produced by the Franklin Mint.
All pieces are made from plated silver and gold.
Exclusive to Marks & Spencer
Monopoly Bookshelf is designed to look like a book. It is has a standard London Monopoly board inside. The contents have been given a more retro-feel with traditional wooden houses and hotel and the original style of Chance and Community Chest cards. The ‘book’ closes itself with magnets so the pieces stay safe.
Standard Edition included with Six Crackers
Also included in the collection: 6 Crackers + Mini Monopoly Deal (Card Game)
Released in advance of the Monopoly Championship held in 2009
All the tokens have been given a new gold colour, the traditional eight, in addition to the candidates for introduction.
In a poll held in 2013, members of the public were given the task to choose their favourite token from the standard selection and from the new five (a ring, a robot, a cat, a guitar and a helicopter). The loser in the first ballot was the iron, which was soon replaced by the cat. A similar contest was held again in early 2017.
Features eight tokens from the 2017 poll. Unlike Signature Token, this had a global release.
In 2017, Hasbro held an online poll to decide which 8 tokens should be included in a standard set of Monopoly. In this poll, 64 tokens were offered – the original 8 and 56 newly designed tokens. This edition provides all 64 tokens that were offered in the poll – in addition to a very Deluxe style inside with a new board, money, houses etc.
Ultimately, the T-Rex, Penguin and Rubber Duck were voted in, with the Thimble, Boot and Wheelbarrow retired from the game. This edition was never released in the UK.

Reprinted in 2011
Monopoly Zapped requires an iPad to work. It acts like the bank.
Randomly throughout the game, a player could receive a mini-game to take part in. Depending on how the player does, a prize may be given.
The playing pieces have been given a more futuristic look. The houses and hotels are now translucent green and red, respectively. Also, the tokens are strips of transparent plastic with a coloured engraving of the traditional token.
Four Monopoly Deluxe editions have been produced for the UK audience since 1972. A long-box in 1972, a smaller edition in 1986 and 1998 and a final edition in 2003. This collection features all four of these editions plus a special adaptation of the 1972 edition created for the British Monopoly Championship.
The upgrades usually consist of gold tokens, a title deed carrousel, premium banking tray and wooden houses & hotels.
| Edition | Tokens | Title Deed | Houses & Hotels |
| 1972 | 6 Gold | Carrousel | Plastic |
| 1986 | 6 Gold | Carrousel | Wood |
| 1998 | 10 Gold | Stand | Wood |
| 2003 | 10 Gold | Stand | Wood (wood colour Houses) |
