Description

Get ready to travel across Europe without leaving your living room with the Monopoly: European Edition. This classic board game was first introduced in 1991 to celebrate the upcoming European Union in 1992, and it's still a blast to play today. The game features beautiful monuments from major European cities as player tokens, giving you a unique and fun way to represent your journey across the continent. With 12 different monuments to choose from, each representing a country that was part of the EU in 1992, you'll feel like you're really exploring Europe as you roll the dice and move around the board. As you play, you'll notice that the game uses ECU's, the precursor to the Euro, as the currency, adding to the game's European theme. The dice themselves even feature EU stars instead of traditional numbers or dots, immersing you in the game's European setting. The board is cleverly designed, replacing traditional train stations with airports located in the capitals of smaller EU member states, and featuring streets from the other eight member states. This setup allows for some interesting negotiation and trading opportunities, as you try to acquire the most valuable properties and airports. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is accessible to players of all ages and skill levels, making it a great choice for families or groups of friends. With playtime lasting around 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to strategize and negotiate with your fellow players, who can number from 2 to 12, making it a great option for large groups. The game mechanics, which include auction/bidding, player elimination, roll/spin and move, set collection, and trading, all come together to create a fun and engaging experience. Whether you're a fan of economics, negotiation, or just love the thrill of competition, the Monopoly: European Edition has something for everyone. So gather your friends and family, and get ready to take a wild ride across Europe, all from the comfort of your own home.
