My ten-year-old nephew Ben is a big Monopoly fan. He collects different versions of the Hasbro Monopoly game. So when the Hasbro Monopoly Empire game arrived, I went and picked up my nephew for a “Hasbro Family Game Night”. We ordered pizza and played the new Empire Monopoly for a couple of hours. It was a lot of fun and is different from the original version of Monopoly.
Instead of buying streets and building hotels on your property, you buy Empires like Xbox, McDonald and Ebay. The object of the game is to build your empire faster than you competition. Unlike the original, the Empire is based on building businesses. You must buy up business to fill your billboard, once your billboard is complete you WIN! Of course, and as always my nephew beat me!
Similar to the original version of Monopoly you use tokens, but with new and cooler tokens. The Empire version has Golden McDonald Fries, a Coke Bottle, Xbox game controller, Paramount movie sign, Chevrolet car and a motorcycle.
The Monopoly Empire has a few new twist. There’s a special place on the dice that allows you to steal empires from your opponent. When you “pass go” you don’t collect $200, the amount you collect will be related to the number of brands you own. And while I still love and will always love the original version of Monopoly, the Monopoly Empire takes less than an hour to play.
Ben and I really enjoyed playing the new Monopoly Empire. We’ve even made a date for Family Game Night so that all of use can get together and play the new Monopoly Empire.
The Monopoly Empire would make a great Christmas Gift for just about anyone!

I’d love to win this because Monopoly is about the only board game I enjoy playing, and the one I have has seen better days – it is very old.
This looks like an amazing upgrade to this game….
We love Monopoly
My oldest son collects Monopoly games. And he doesn’t have this one yet! The only way I can convince him (at 19 years old) to join in on Family Game Night is by rotating Monopoly games through the line-up. This version sounds fun!
Why? Because, I have played this game with my mother and cousins since I was a young girl.(grandma of six now) I would like to play Monopoly with my children and grandchildren, too. Recently, my youngestdaughter of age eight has been wanting to play board games with us. We have started her out on Scrabble. She would enjoy learning to play Monopoly too. Thank you. gahome2mom
