1984 – 1997: Travel

April 20, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Traditional Monopoly has also been released in travel sized variants since 1984. During this time, Waddington’s also made travel versions of other games they owned such as Cluedo.

  • 1984

Despite the smaller flat square box, the contents are full sized Monopoly pieces with a full sized board which folds into four. Travel games – especially Monopoly can be accused of being too small to use, however, this 1984 version eliminates this issue. While being the largest of the travel games, this is my favourite version, as apart from the box, it is a full sized traditional Monopoly.

  • 1994
  • 1997

Monopoly Junior – Travel

April 20, 2022 / / 0 Comments

1993

Compared to regular Junior editions, there is only one attraction in each colour group. When landing on an unowned property, you must purchase it. Landing on it again allows you to buy a second Ticket Booth – doubling the rent. Chance cards are replaced by a spinner. Otherwise, gameplay remains the same

1994
