The electronic editions are less fiddly and quicker (you use a "Credit Card" to keep track of your balance) but also less enoyable. Most people don't play with all the rules - which does speed it up, but makes it a lot more complicated.

You would indeed enjoy the Australian Monopoly. Are you bringing an extra suitcase when you come out for taking back Aussie goodies? Sharon - I thought spending was the way to win Monopoly? We used to play it a lot as kids. Takes forever though. We just play on a time limit version with the kids. Tamsyn - I think all kids love games. Particularly if they're brought up playing them.

I am holding out hope that I have kids that love games as much as I do so that I will have some people to play with me :) Monopoly is my all time favourite board game, but my husband refuses to play with me.

We haven't played it with the kids in a while, might have to aim for that this holidays. Scott is a real entrepenuer, beats us all every time. Steph and I like to spend too much! Lucky we aren't like that in real life ;) I just love Monopoly. We haven’t played it with the kids in a while, might have to aim for that this holidays.

I want Australian Monopoly!!! Jack and I were really into Monopoly a year or so ago. It's great for learning math. I think it's pretty much how he learned addition. What is your Monopoly jr. like? I know here we have a couple of versions. We had the one where you own amusement park rides. We started with that and then moved onto regular Monopoly. We have the Disney and Simpsons versions. We don't need anymore, but I really desire the Australian one. Awesome!!!
