Monopoly: The Mega Edition

[vivman1107]

This is the first time I have seen anyone mess with the original Monopoly rules and release something different. Usually, all you get is different names for the properties and different tokens. Notable differences:

1. The board is bigger with one additional property on each group
2. A new utility, Gas Company
3. Build houses and hotels if you own 3 out of 4 properties in a group (2 out of 3 for smaller groups)
4. Build skyscrapers after hotels for more rent
5. Start with $2,500
6. $1,000 bills
7. Build depot on railroad for more rent
8. Bus tickets for a free ride to any space on the same side of the board. These tickets expire.
9. Speed die that you roll on your turn along with regular dice. It gives you a chance for a free trip to the next unowned property. Later in the game the Speed Die could send you to the next property you owe rent on.

yeah but it still only sound like mega editon monoploy 1.5

[vivman1107]

True, but the original Monopoly came out in 1935 and this is the first time they have made changes to the game. I personally welcome any changes to speed up the game and encourage more risk/reward.
