Customer Reviews

Monopoly fans beware
Any fans of Monopoly who have considered this as a personalised version of the popular game - it's not.

The tag line goes: "Custom make your very own board game - With just some scissors, a PC & any simple colour printer" - the key words in this sentence are BOARD GAME, not monopoly game. For starters, there aren't as many squares on the board as proper Monopoly & there's no Jail square. They've also introduced a lottery square, where you bet to try & roll a certain number.

Besides not being the same board, inside the box is a board, a few sheets of printer paper, some printable stickers, a CD ROM, six plastic counters & two dice. The instruction book is vague & doesn't come with any rules for the game, so those unfamiliar with monopoly will be unsure of what do do.

You also don't have any option for houses & hotels or rent cards, so there isn't really anywhere for the game to progress once you've all bought the properties.

Overall, very disappointing.

Great concept - but ...
I bought this with some doubts having read the other reviews on this site, so I knew a bit of what to expect.

On the plus side, the concept is really good - a totally unique board game - would make a great present, or family project. The software is very user friendly, it opens up with the basic board, then you enter your own street names, chance cards etc and then just follow the printing intructions, stick it all together and you're done. Pretty staightforward, easy and quite quick to do. The sample games on the CD-ROM have some good ideas for inspiration.

On the negative side, as other reviewers have said the quality of the materials is pretty poor - cheap card and plastic pieces. The lottery squares seem unnecessarily complicated especially for kids. The finished game is a bit limited - can't buy houses or anything for the properties. I resorted to buying a new complete game and ripping off the pieces, hotels etc, and designing my own title deeds.

If I wanted to ever do the same thing again I think I would buy an ordinary monopoly set, some card and sticky paper, a bit of imagination and give it a personal revamp.

disappointing
we bought this expecting it to be very monopoly like with the added bonus of customisation to fit our family... unfortunately it is a very poor replica of monopoly, and very 'budget' in its appearance...

- there are no instructions on how you are supposed to play
- the prices of the properties are preset and arent like the real monopoly
- you can't build houses or hotels, at least there aren't any provided
- the pieces are rubbish

all in all you have a game thats a very poor approximation of what you expect it to be, and the customisation is all your own input so you might as well just make your own game from scratch.
