They should make an adult version! Gina (Mannyed) - I just saw that at Target last night. Is the idea that you don't have to use your math skills anymore and it does it electronically for you? Ha ha ha! *lynne* - I hope Kosh can find it! That is so funny that he happened to be searching for it! You must have played with some hardcore people in college. Do you know they have Monopoly tournaments?! Those people must be crazy! Gary LaPointe - I have felt that way too - that if you are used to playing the original, the special addition can be confusing. And jeez, there are so many special addition versions!

Is the death star park place or baltic ave? It's too hard to keep track of what's what, IMHO. That's just been my feelings the few times I've tired playing them.

I'll point him here so he can rest assured it DOES exist! :-) btw - I too figured out, in college, that the way my family played monopoly was extremely lax and non-competitive, such that I was totally taken aback the one time I played in college according to the "real" rules. Haven't even gone near the game ever since, LoL! wahaha this is great! just yesterday Kosh and I were doing some holiday shopping for his nephews, and he wsa obsessed about finding, if not getting, the Star wars version of Monopoly, but it wasn’t on the shelves, and he was so disappointed, and started to wonder if he’d dreamt such a thing existed!

I say make your own rules and play :) My sister and I were shopping yesterday and saw candyland......that was my favorite game as a kid. I almost bought one but instead I bought my parents the board game, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader because they love the show. oh gosh my family doesn’t abide by the rules, we play with free money in the middle, you can negotiate with the person next you, and the idea that the banker always cheats LOL (even though they don’t).

I think my cousins even play it different then we do! diane - I don't think I knew people did that with the petty cash! But I could see how it would turn into a big argument. I bet you are fun to play games with diane :) Rachel - I think that is what I accused my siblings of as well. Thanks for stopping by :) Dave2 - I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! Actually, I might have it. I have so many unknown Star Wars toys at my parent's house. Of course, they are all current toys, not from the original trilogy. Robin – that’s a good point about the rules.

The player landing on Free Parking gets it all! It IS of dire importance to know this before playing the game. We also only pay rent if the owner notices we are on the property.

I don't think I've ever played the adult version correctly. I always did the same trick with hiding the money, and then whoever I was playing with would accuse me of stealing from the bank.

That damn game lasts FOREVER. You are so sick of it by the time someone wins, you don't even care. I'd much rather play Careers. I hate Monopoly. That damn game lasts FOREVER.
