My Monopoly (2014)

Released: 2014

My Monopoly is the first (and so far, only) official customisable Monopoly set.

Without customisation, the gameboard looks like a standard London edition. However, titles can be printed on and slid into the board to create a new Monopoly set.

The four tokens are also customisable. Photos can be printed onto the tiles and slid into the tokens.

The game was customisable by using the MyMonopoly website or app. However, both of these have been discontinued, making creating a My Monopoly set more difficult.

Other Unusual Standard Board Releases

Monopoly and Cluedo Plus 5 Classic Games (2005)

Vintage Game Collection (2006)

Bookshelf (2006)

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.

Time Exclusive Releases – Token Madness & Championship etc

  • Millennium 2000 (1999)

  • Championship (2009)

Released in advance of the Monopoly Championship held in 2009

  • Golden Token Bonus (2012)

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.

  • Token Madness (2017)

Features eight tokens from the 2017 poll. Unlike Signature Token, this had a global release.

  • Signature Token [DE] (2017)

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.

Electronic Banking & Zapped

  • Zapped (2012)

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.

SpongeBob Monopoly contains optional bonus rules which can be used when a shorter game is preferred.

A ‘Plankton’ token is placed on the first property. Then, every time a 1 is rolled, the token is advanced by one space. The game ends when that token has looped around to the last property.

If a player lands on a property occupied by Plankton, then the player may take it for free, or, if already owned, must pay twice the normal rent.

Once the token has completed a circuit, the players add up the value of their assets and the most money wins!

Every colour group has a ‘Hood’ space. At the start of the game, the Evil Hood token is placed on any one of these spaces.

The token moves from one colour group to another whenever a player rolls a double.

If you land on a property occupied by the ‘Evil Hood’ then you must pay the bank a £200 fine.

In addition, rent cannot be claimed on properties occupied by the ‘Evil Hood’.

Doubles don’t count when rolling to determine rent for a utility, or when attempting to get out of jail free.  

  • Tutankhamun (2007)

Tokens are gold coloured. As well as the tradition set of 10, a Money Bag (USA) and Train (Nostalgia) tokens are also included
