Lovely Wooden Box - Compact Too
I ordered this lovely wooden monopoly for my 10 year old son. He may not appreciate it now (may want to know where it plugs in / where he puts the batteries!), but I hope that in years to come he will still have this set of monopoly to show his family and it will still be in good condition.

I absolutely love the look of it. Lovely durable wooden box, with a nostalgic picture. It's also compact too as the board I think folds into 4.

Monopoly nostalgia
I was after a themed monopoly but just couldn't make up my mind which one to get and they all seem more fancy than functual. We have a very old monopoly that dates back to the 1940's with all the original pieces but are reluctant to keep using it. So when this set popped up on the web site I thought i'd get one. What a sensible move. It is the best set of Monopoly out. No more crushed boxes ,no plastic and no flimsy cards or money. It is the creme de la creme of Monopolys. Buy it with confidence and you won't be disappointed it will become an heirloom.

Easliy the choice edition of Monopoly
I'd originally ordered the basic version of Monopoly, having been bamboozled by the baffling number of editions of this popular game. The order was delayed as it was out of stock. But as I saw the link again, I clocked sight of this "Nostalgia Edition", and decided to change my order.

I could not have made a more wise decision. This is THE version of Monopoly to get. Too often you will see people drag out a battered and beaten more commonly-seen variant of this game, but this edition demands more respect. The box itself is well-crafted with butterfly-jointed corners and a nice sliding lid. The board is a 2-fold split kind, making the box about half the size of the normal game box. The individual player pieces are nice to handle and look at, and the cards have got a pleasingly authentic feel to them.

The box is out on display on a side-table and always gets attracting glances from guests.

Don't buy the common version! Spend an extra £tenner.

The only Monopoly to buy
The first review here is spot on. This is the only version of Monopoly to buy. It's solid, made of wood, and will last forever.

Like most board games, the original versions manufactured are the best, and it's great to see a version of a board game made to the original standards....Not a plastic bit in sight! Worth the extra 5-10 squid.

No flimsy card or plastic here
If you don't own a monopoly set this is the one to buy.

If you do own a modern monopoly set, send it down the charity shop and buy this one.

The houses and hotels are wooden, not squidgy plastic. The playing pieces are comfortingly heavy. The box is made of wood and the cards are made of card that is robust enough to actually withstand more than two games.

It's really lovely to play. I'm not old enough to remember the 1930's but the lack of cheap flimsy plastic and bits that fall apart after 10 minutes took me back to my childhood. It just feels good.
