This is the 1995 version of Monopoly Chicago Edition. Instead of the standard tokens, it has eight custom designed tokens. It also includes a sticker on the box and board stating that this is a gift from US Equities Realty Inc.
We hope that you will enjoy this limited edition of the world’s most famous board game. We have customized a small number of the new Chicago Edition of Monopoly by creating special tokens (the pieces used to mark your space on the board) of well-known Chicago landmarks: John Hancock Centre, the Picasso, Chicago Union Station, the Stone Container Building at 150 North Michigan Avenue, the old Chicago Water Tower, One Financial Place, 676 North Michigan Avenue, and the Harold Washington Library. US Equities has been privileged to be involved in the management, leasing or development of many of these buildings.
Similar miniature building replicas produced in the early 1930s and 1940s have recently become very popular collectors’ items – we hope that these will also.
We hope you and your family enjoy playing your limited edition Chicago Monopoly as much as we enjoyed creating it and we wish you a prosperous and healthy 1996
Chicago edition happy new year 1996 sticker
My edition is missing several pieces – houses, hotels, title deeds, Chance Cards, Community Chest Cards & a token
Monopoly has also been released for a number of different locations. The majority of major towns and cities have seen at least one Monopoly release in the last twenty years. these editions are usually produced by Winning Moves.
There are three designs of these editions – traditional, modern and special token. Traditional boxes look alike, with modern boxes with a redesigned box cover – modern editions also come with a free promotional Top Trumps Card. Special Token editions are similar to modern editions, except there are 6 special tokens instead of the standard tokens.

Monopoly Glasgow (1999) is missing the lid in the collection
Unfortunately the eBay seller posted this item by attaching the postage label directly to the cellophane. Address label censored.
Error: The four stations & two utilities’ title deeds state ‘City of X’ rather than ‘Wolverhampton’
Many football clubs and leagues have Monopoly editions.
This collection contains:
Similar to Premier League editions, except only eight Ligue 1 teams have been licensed for this edition
Monopoly editions have so far been produced for four World Cups (1998, 2006, 2010, 2018). The 2002 World Cup did not see a Monopoly release. 2014 World Cup appears to be exclusive to Brazil. A video game version of the 1998 World Cup Monopoly was also released (logged lower down).
The base of the box is designed like a football pitch. It can be used as a dice tray
Chance and Community cards are replaced, in favour of Manager and Referee cards. This is different to the 1998’s cards which were Home and Away.
3 of the tokens return: ball, whistle and goal. The main token is the ‘golden boot’, which as its name suggests has a gold colour, compared to the regular grey for the other pieces.
Chance and Community cards are replaced, in favour of Half Time and Full Time cards. This is different to the 1998’s cards which were Home and Away and to the 2006’s cards of Manager and Referee.
Green stands and Red Stadiums replace the Houses and Hotels.
None of the sport themed tokens remain in this edition, instead the traditional 8 tokens are included.
This edition is in dual-language: English and Russian.
The 2018 World Cup edition has some differences compared to the previous versions. Firstly, most of the 1998 World Cup tokens have returned with a special 2018 mascot token.
Secondly, the Chance and Community Chest cards have been replaced by Full Time and Half Time.
Finally, the football-shaped dice haven’t returned.
It is also interesting to note, that no ‘Speed Die’ has been included and the relevant page in the rules has been replaced.
Monopoly Express was released by Waddingtons in 1995. Hasbro reused the name Monopoly Express ten years later when it rebranded Monopoly Dice Game. This page refers to the Card Game version.
The game is played in rounds. Each round, the dealer hands four cards to each player. The remaining cards are left in the middle.
At the start of your turn, draw as many cards as necessary to ensure you have five cards in your hand. Play any one card onto its matching space next to the interlocking board. You may play additional cards if that one card will complete a Monopoly set, and/or you may use the special use – Steal One Card.
The round ends once every card has been played. Tally up the scores – which is based on the value of the property sets acquired. You gain an extra five points for collecting both property sets on one side of the board, or all four corners with all four railroads.
A new round is started unless a player has achieved at least 50 points. Once this is the case, the player with the highest score wins.
Three variants of Magnetic Pocket Edition were made in the UK.
This edition was sold at UK airports. The tokens are gold coloured, and the box is labelled ‘Tax Free’
