Sooner or later everyone would certainly times rolling in money - or at least get the chance. In Monopoly goes ensure stress-free and easier than on the stock exchange or at the bank. And it's harmless because you gambled in the worst case only virtual money and thus destroyed neither own nor foreign capital.
But enough said about the sense and the nonsense of a game that almost everyone knows safe. In this presentation gets the whole a very nostalgic painting, although it has unfortunately not entirely based faithfully on the earlier original - More on this later. In addition, you can also learn something about the streets and places in Berlin in the period around 1935. Well, most of the things you will find even today. But you know, for example, where the "Belle-Alliance-Strasse" been, or where the Grosse Frankfurter Strasse today "to find? And perhaps you'd be interested also, where once the" Görlitzer Bahnhof "was? So you can with Help on the board at the same time to go a little journey of discovery through the old Berlin from before the 2nd World War -. where all the streets and railway stations are arranged around the center of Berlin, which started in the northwest and was then moved on following the direction wherein the islet Schwanenwerder and the Grunewald as most expensive addresses Although this logic west are following, but nevertheless there are no roads.
Unfortunately, the value of information and the notes from the original have been changed. Although noisy, the value indicated on the road fields and the add-on cards like the original to "RM" but unlike the original values are slebst here other. In about this were halved - the premium is at a transition on the original lot 400 RM, while the game is only 200 RM here. This also has implications for the denomination and presentation of the bills. While there was with the respective imprint "Reichsmark" the original bills in eight denominations (10, 20, 100, 200, 400, 1,000, 2,000 and 10,000), are this game only banknotes in seven denominations (1, 5, 10, 20 , 50, 100 and 500) at. This, in contrast to the original no direct value imprint, it is only the imprint "Monopoly" included. In addition, the bills are printed on one side only and do not make long-term lasting impression.
The board and the cards are therefore in the historic style. The board is working very beautiful and durable, the same can be said, unfortunately, only limited by the card. The road and building cards are of thin, slightly rubberized cardboard Chance and Community Chest cards are, however, only made easier, colored, thin and ungummierter cardboard. That's too bad, because overall not make the maps give the impression that they would be durable. The houses and hotels are made of wood and six pawns come along in Old Bronze, are beautiful to look at. In addition, the edition is limited and numbered every game - but the total circulation is expected to be in the high five figures, so the game is anything but a rarity and not likely to be suitable as speculative investments. Delivered is the game in a tin can with an insert made of plastic. Unfortunately, the deposit is not sufficient for safe storage of cards and bills, the top are doing something about and tend to slip inside the tin. For this variant, however, speaks to the other variants favorable compared price of about 20, - EUR.
Conclusion:
Anyone wishing to use Monopoly looking for a little time travel and also a beautifully designed presentation, which should be served here quite well. Absolute value of a faithful facsimile edition of the old game from 1935 but one should not place, because then you will be at the described locations ultimately disappointed. In this respect, notice and advertising can not keep quite what they suspect or have hope. Certainly the choice of such a "historical" version of Monopoly is always a bit of a matter of personal taste - but you can stand out from the present, otherwise rather uniform therefore coming versions of Monopoly with this game.
