The game was a gift for my sister because we had somehow misplaced our old Monopoly. The new version (new currency, changes in the rules, speed cube) we played with the speed cube. Conclusion: The game works so much faster because I "am used" but to the old version I like this better. But you can also play without the Spped cubes, so the game is indeed longer, so reminiscent but more to the classical version.
