Edition: Centennial Olympic Games
Publisher: USAOPOLY, Inc. - 1996
Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 51 cm
The game:
The yellow stamp of autorization says "Commemorative Collector's Edition" and it is a very special game indeed for collectors to have! For one hundred years since the Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece in 1896, the Olympic Games spirit has stood for the triumph of the human spirit. At the same time, the Games represent the world's most impressive demonstration of brotherhood, cameraderie and goodwill. With the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta (USA) the world will celebrate the Centennial anniversary of the Olympic Games.

And now, long after the last runner finishes the marathon and the Olympic Games Flame is extinguished in the triumphant closing ceremonies, this very special Limited Centennial Olympic Games Edition of MONOPOLY will stir fond memories during those MONOPOLY games for years and years to come.
The properties are from GO on, the cities where the games took place: St.LOUIS (1904) - LONDON (1908) - STOCKHOLM (1912) - BELGIUM (1920) - PARIS (1924) - AMSTERDAM (1928) - LOS ANGELES (1932) - BERLIN (1936) - LONDON (1948) - HELSINKI (1952) - MELBOURNE (1956) - ROME (1960) - TOKYO (1964) - MEXICO (1968) - MUNICH (1972) - MONTREAL (1976) - MOSCOW (1980) - LOS ANGELES (1984) - SEOUL (1988) - BARCELONA (1992) - ATHENS (1896) and ATLANTA (1996).

Besides the numbered Olympics hologram pictograms of 31 attending sports are shown on the bottom side of the box.

Edition: Golf Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY, Inc. - 1996
Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 51 cm
The game:
In MONOPOLY GOLF EDITION players buy famous golf courses resorts, golf tours, tournaments and companies from all over the USA. A part of the story at the bottom side of the box read as follows:
With a roll of the dice or the luck of a Chance card, you can "play" Pebble Beach Golf Links®, test your skills on Pinehurst, buy the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass (island green and all), and challenge Doral's Blue Monster.
You might not be able to "drive for show" or "putt for dough" when you play this game, or have the satisfaction of knocking in your Top-Flite® for a birdie, or feel the rush of drilling your tee-shot long and straight with a Big Bertha. But, you can dominate the major American golf Tours, be "Tournament Director" of some of the most prestigious events in the world, own leading golf equipment companies (like Ashworth Golf Company), and even charge your opponents for the privilege of playing, or at least landing, on your course.

Unfortunately the tokens in this issue are the usual ones. It would have been much nicer if golf attributes had been used!

Edition: Batman & Robin, Collector's Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1997

The game:
This game is made after the film of Batman and Robin intervening in the battle for supremacy in Gotham City.

The inside of the box contains again a carton insert, but instead of "the FAQ's" it shows once more the pictures of the leading persons. The remaining space is filled by a tray of soft, white plastic.
The 8 tokens are very special and bear a stamp of DC Comics in their feet. Besides the symbols of Batman and Robin, a leaf and a big diamond there are 4 vehicles among which Batmobile and Freezemobile. The "streets"are of course locales from the spectacular feature film, like: Biker ALLEY, Pamela Isley's Lab, Holographic Gym, Mr.Freeze's Cell, Wayne Manor Garage, Blossom St. Station en Batcave.
The Chance and Community Chest cards are mentioned as such in the instructions, but in the game they are marked by the symbols of Batman and Robin. Their texts and illustrations relate of course to the story, such as: "Batskiff slips on ice. Go back 3 spaces" and "From sale of surplus crime fighting equipment You Get $ 45".
The 32 houses are grey whereas the 12 red hotels are mansions here!

Dimensions of the box: 25.4 x 50.8 cm
The game:
The bottom of the box says about this game:

"There is a new major rally … and you've hit the highway. Buy, sell and trade the great motorcycles, engines, rallies and all that makes the Harley-Davidson lifestyle what it is! Hop on your Electra Glide, Standard or Heritage Springer, but be sure to ride clear of your opponent's properties - landing on the wrong space could cost you big!"

The nicest of this issue are the 8 tokens: the Evolution Engine - "Eagle with Bar & Shield" logo - Road King Sportster Motorcycle - Helmet - Boot - Electra Glide Classic Motorcycle - Road King Sportster Motorcycle with Sidecar and Gas Tank.
The properties mainly consist of the many Harley-Davidson models. The spaces at the start however are meeting points of HD-enthusiasts: Daytona Beach - Florida and Sturgis - South Dakota.

              Limited Collector's Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 26.9 x 26.0 x 9.5 cm
The game:
The bottom of the wrap around the black box says:

"Ninety-five years ago it began with a motorcycle. A 3hp engine strapped to a bicycle frame, with a set of pedals to put the whole thing in motion. The next year it became a "production run" of three. It would ultimately evolve into Harley-Davidson motorcycles reaching every corner of the globe."

It is a pitty that this very luxurious issue is so black! However, because of that the pewter medallion does show to full advantage. The circulation of this game is limited to 50,000 and the number of the concerning box is on a small "Certificate of ownership".
The 2-parted structure of the box (flat box with banker's tray on top of a cards tray) do remind of the gold box of the 60th anniversary of Monopoly. The double-folded game board fits in the flat box. All properties do not only have names of various models but also of important persons or events, like Founding Fathers - World War I - Ascot Races and 1st Post AMF Bike. Even the well-known ring on the "Luxury Tax"-field became a HD-Anniversary-ring! The spaces on the game board are illustrated with mostly ancient pictures. The spaces in the middle of each side are H.D.-facilities in the cities CAPITOL DRIVE - YORK, PA - P.D.C. and KANSAS CITY.
The 8 very detailed tokens are resp. : the 95th Anniversary logo - Original 1903 Motorcycle - First Factory Shed - Land Speed Cruiser - HD Water Tower - Early Side Car with Rider - Service Car with Delivery Cart and Biker Couple.

The game rules are in a round booklet slightly larger than a CD disc and put away in a hole most likely destined for a caroussel!

Edition: NASCAR 50th Anniversary
              Limited Collector's Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 26.6 x 25.9 x 9.5 cm
The game:
In this GOLD EDITION a CD-shaped booklet tells "A brief of History NASCAR", including a "Salute to NASCAR's Past Champions". From this we learn:

  "The birth of NASCAR can be traced to a meeting in Daytona Beach, FL, in December, 1947, when race driver and promotor Bill France Sr. called together a group of his peers to bring organization, control and respect to the burgeon sport of stock car racing. The group formed the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing and incorporated the sanctioning body in Februari, 1948. NASCAR's first race was a Modified event on the Daytona Beach course that was run on the beachfront and paved public highway.
The event that launched NASCAR as the major force in American automobile racing, however, occurred the next year when, on June 19, 1949, NASCAR sanctioned a race in Charlotte, NC, for "Stricktly Stock" automobiles that were modern showroom sedans."

On the GOLD checkerboard pattern of the high lid of the box a GOLD NASCAR-50 years medallion is fixed. On the black back of the double folded game board is a GOLD print of the NASCAR-50 years logo. The properties are now Past Champion drivers. So the spaces are provided with black and white and color pictures. The utility spaces are now again the usual Electric Company and Water Works. The fields in the middle of each side became flags.
The GOLD typical tokens are an Early Race Car, Mid-Year Race Car, Modern Race Car, Transporter, Vintage Race Car Driver, Modern Race Car Driver, Early Days Trophy and a NASCAR-50 years logo. They are in a dignified black bag!
The Chance and Community Chest cards became GOLD cards, at which the green car stands on the Modern cards and the classic purple car on the Vintage cards!
There are 32 red Short Tracks and 12 GOLD Superspeedways instead of houses and hotels. Even the dice are GOLDEN!
On the banknotes Uncle Pennybags shows his drivers helmet and his (?) trophy!
Also this nice issue is limited to 50,000 sets and the nummer of the concerning box is given again on a small "Certificate of Ownership". Finally a keychain with GOLD NASCAR-50 years medallion is added to this set!

The price of this set amounted to US$ 79.95 in October 1998.

Edition: National Parks Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 50.7 cm
The game:
The bottom of the box says about this game:

"National parks are America's special places - the soul of this country. Since 1916, the National Park Service has been the steward of what now number more than 375 special places set aside to protect the nation's most precious natural and cultural resources. This rich national heritage offers people from every nation incomparable opportunities for recreation, appreciation of natural beauty, historical reflection, cultural enrichment and environmental education.
Within parks, and working among communities on preservation and recreation projects beyond park boundaries, the National Park Service brings together the landscapes, places, people, and events that contribute to the shared national heritage and values of a highly diverse people. Every year, more than 275 million national park visitors learn more about the American experience. In addition to encountering the American experience, visitors also gain a deeper understanding of the ecological, historical and cultural values which are part of that experience.
This National Parks Edition of the Monopoly game was created in cooperation with the National Park Service to share the beauty and grandeur of America's national parks, and to provide a unique - and entertaining - way to learn more about a system of national parks that has set the standard for the rest of the world.
A portion of the purchase price of this game will be used by the National Park Foundation, the official national non-profit partner of the National Park Service, to support priority national park projects."

In this beautiful blue box the carton insert of the innerbox shows a map of North America stating all (?) national parks. The properties show really beautiful color pictures of national parks. You will undoubtedly recognize some of them, reason why we name them all - from GO on they are: NATIONAL MALL - Mt. RUSHMORE - MESA VERDE - PETROGLYPH - CANYON de CHELLY - GLACIER BAY - GRAND CANYON - HAWAII VOLCANOES - VALLEY FORGE - GETTYSBURG - LITTLE BIGHORN - DINOSAUR - BADLANDS - AGATE FOSSIL BEDS - ISLE ROYALE - ACADIA - PADRE ISLAND - EVERGLADES - GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS - OLYMPIC - YOSEMITE and YELLOWSTONE. (It is a pity that there is no booklet added to this set explaining more about the parks mentioned (see "Amerikca-In-A-Box")! Speaking about learning … )
The utilitie facilities are here EDISON (dragged in by the head and shoulders?) and HOT SPRINGS (well choosen!). The fields in the middle of each side became TRIALS.
The typical tokens of this game are: the Hiker, Hiking Boot, Tent, Canoe, Bear, Ranger Hat, Wagon and Cannon.
On the red Chance and yellow Community Chest cards Uncle Pennybags wears his hikerdress.
There are 32 green, wooden (!) tents and 12 white-wooden ranger stations ("made in China"). On the banknotes Uncle Pennybags waves with his field glasses and fishing rod!

The price of this set amounted to US$ 35.- in October 1998.

Edition: Super Bowl XXXII - Commemorative Super Bowl Edition
              DENVER BRONCOS 31-24
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 25,2 x 50,7 cm
The game:
The bottom of the box says about this game:

"In this first ever Super Bowl Edition of the Monopoly game, relive the biggest day in American sports and what was arguably the greatest game in Super Bowl history. Enjoy memorable moments from the Broncos momentous 31-24 victory over the defending champion Green Bay Packers - breaking the NFC string of 13 straight victories.
With the Super Bowl XXXII Edition you pick the players, call the plays - an audible if your opponent threatens a blitz - and decide when to go deep. Take control of San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, buy a block of tickets, win the coin toss and get ready for the opening kickoff. The only thing missing are the commercials!
Whether it is first and ten or fourth and goal, with this game the Goal line is never farther than a roll of the dice. And with the Monopoly game, just as in football, never count the underdog out. So lace up your cleats, grab your helmet and reminisce the Broncos epic winning of the Super Bowl Trophy - Monopoly style!"

As the "Rest of the World" get excited of soccer so the Americans get absorbed in their football. This also appears clearly from the difference in presentation of WC France 98 (see further on) and this game!

The differences with the standard game are:

	The nice typical tokens (with USAOPOLY mark in the base) are: Quarterback, Defensive Player, Scheidsrechter, Cheerleader, Lombardi Trophy, cleat, whistle and helmet.
	All spaces on the bord are related to something the Denver Broncos have to do with, like: Broncos Fans - Broncos Mascot - Super Bowl Ticket - Super Bowl Football and, the last space, Super Bowl Champs.
	Instead of houses and hotels there are now transparant blue locker rooms (with chimney!) and orange stadiums (in the shape of a hotel with chimney!).
	The Chance and Community Chest cards are here red Offense and dark blue Defense cards. Alround Uncle Pennybags is now a football player and the texts on the cards are of course related to this game, like: Advance to Super Bowl Football - Great job protecting quarterback, Collect $150 and Buy Broncos Super Bowl souvenirs, Pay $ 50".
	The banknotes show Uncle Pennybags in an appropriate dress!

The price of this set amounted to US$ 35.- in October 1998.

 

 

Edition: Napa Valley Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 50.7 cm
The game:
The bottom of the box says about this game:

"The Monopoly Brand proudly introduces a game designed exclusively for wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Imagine luxuriating in one of the most sought after destinations in America; the lush and intoxicatingly beautiful Napa Valley. Home to some of the most highly regarded and sought after wines, this fabulous spot is nature's paradise and a playland for its lucky landowners and visitors.
The hot California sun drenches and the cool evening fog envelops the wineyards producing ideal winemaking conditions and award winning wines. Some of the most valuable Napa Valley real estate is up for sale including the prized Robert Mondavi Winery.
Napa Valley's timeless beauty, fertile gardens, fine wines, top-rated restaurants and infamous hot springs beckon. As you advance through its quaint, turn of the century towns, and through the lustrous, rolling valley itself, carpeted with vines and golden mustard fields, consider taking it all - lock, stock and barrel."

This "theme-game" is again carefully composed and the "wine enthusiast/monopolist" will play with it with pleasure or like to have it in his collection! (For those readers who do not live in the USA: Napa Valley is an area just north from San Francisco.)
It is remarkable that the Chance and Commommunity Chest cards are provided with a sub-title in this game: Wine Spectator on Chance and Napa Valley Mustard Festival on Community Chest. It will be obvious that the properties bear the names of the hottest wineries like DUNN VINEYARDS, ST.CLEMENT, SWANSON VINEYARDS, GRACE FAMILY VINEYARDS and BERINGER VINEYARDS, but also a few towns of the territory (NAPA, CALISTOGA and ST.HELENA) and restaurants (MUSTARDS GRILL, TRA VIGNE and THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA GREYSTONE) have been inserted in this game.
At the station spaces are now well-established grape brands viz. MERLOT, SAUVIGNON BLANC, CABERNET SAUVIGNON and CHARDONNAY. The Chance cards are purple and the Community Chest cards green. Of course the texts now feature Napa Valley related messages like: "You have been elected President of Napa Valley Wine Association - Pay each player $ 50" and "Take a drive up HWY 29 (= the motorway between Calistoga and Napa) - Advance token to Beaulieu Vineyard".
The very nice pewter tokens are resp. a Wine Barrel, Wine Bottle, Hot Air Balloon, Corkscrew, Wine Glass, Ice Bucket, Picnic Basket and a Grape Bunch. The banknotes shoe Uncle Pennybags with a grape bunch in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.
The usual green houses and red hotels represent in this game vineyards and larger wine estates.

The price of this set amounted to US$ 35.- in October 1998.

 

Edition: World Cup France 98 Edition
Publisher: USAOPOLY/Hasbro, Inc. - 1998
Dimensions of the box: 25.3 x 50.7 cm
The game:
Whereas the EUROPEAN EDITIONS of this game are very luxury issues that cannot be said of this AMERICAN issue! BESIDES IT CONTAINS A CLEAR INCORRECTNESS!!

The game board spaces can hardly be found on the cover of this long box, but so a couple of soccer players, eachone in an energic posture but not in a match position! On the bottom of the box is again a clear picture of the game board and its attributes. The Chance and Community Chest cards are of course replaced by (blue) AWAY and (pink) HOME cards, again with nice illustrations with Uncle Pennybags. Of course the texts relate to the soccer game, like "Opening kickoff - Advance to Go".

In this game the properties are of course national soccer teams. BUT THE RULES OF THIS AMERICAN SET DO EXPLICITELY NOT REVER TO THOSE OF THE 22 best clubs of the official worldlist as it is composed by the FIFA on the basis of the results of the countries in all worldcup finals since 1930! That are on the EUROPEAN GAME BOARDS respectively: SCOTLAND - SWITSERLAND - ROMANIA - CHILE - MEXICO - BELGIUM - AUSTRIA - CZECHOSLOVAKIA - THE NETHERLANDS - POLAND - HUNGARY - YUGOSLAVIA - FRANCE - SWEDEN - URUGUAY - RUSSIA - SPAIN - ENGLAND - ARGENTINE - ITALY - GERMANY and BRASIL. In this version namely Germany is omitted and America is put on the space of Brazil in the expensive blue streets!!
The spaces have the well-known colored bars and are furthermore characterized by a T-shirt of the concerning country!
The stations are replaced by the 4 most important stadiums of France, viz. STADE VELODROME of Marseille, STADE DU PARC DE PRINCES in Paris, LE STADE DE FRANCE in Saint-Denis and STADE DE GERLAND of Lyon.
The 2 public utilities remained the usual Electric Company and Water Works. It is remarkable that one can be sent to JAIL in this game as well!
The 8 tokens are resp. a boot, cap, drinks cup, hamburger (?), goal, whistle, bal and the (gold colored) FIFA Worldcup Trophy (with the mark "1974 FIFA TM© in the base).
Instead of houses and hotels this game of course uses (red) bleachers and (blue) stadiums! And the dice are also something special: they are soccer-shaped, so 12-sided!

Other differences compared to the European Edition are:

World Cup France 98	European Editions of France 98
1x folded game board	2x folded game board
Regular blue green midfield of the board	Special silvery midfield of the board
"Luxury Tax"-space between blue streets	"Contract fee"-space between blue streets
Regular white tray with 7 holes for banker	Special blue take-away tray for banker
No soccer ground in low inner-box	Soccer ground in 65 mm high inner-box

The price of this set amounted to US$ 35.- in October 1998.

The game:
This edition is from the collection of Roland Klose - D. (Diese Version auf deutsch: www.monopoly-wiki.de)

In this period of time it was the USAopoly's intention to make state editions in a state shaped box and they started with Texas for some reason. That was a nice idea and I guess all collectors wellcomed it, however the unpractical shape of the boxes caused problems with shipment, reason why this was the only edition made in a state shaped box.

In the innerbox of soft black plastic, also called the Banker's tray, a large space had to be given to the double folded game board. Furthermore there are 6 holes to store the banknotes, property deeds, stars- and spurs cards, tokens and barns and ranches.

All properties are from Go onwards:

Astrodome - Spurs - Ballpark at Arlington - Property Tax - Wood's Boots - Galvestone Island - Stars - Big Band National Park - South Padre Island - In Jail/Just Visiting - Texas Tech Red Raiders - Electric Company - Baylor Bears - Texas Longhorns - Ebby Halliday - Cattle Ranch - Spurs - Blue Bell Icecream - Dr.Pepper/7Up Inc. - Free Parking - Corpus Christi - Stars - Austin - Ft. Worth/Arlington - Texas Monthly - George Bush Library - L.B.J.Library - Spurs - Johnson Space Center - Go to Jail - San Antonio - Dallas - Water Works - Houston - Southwest Airlines - Stars - The Alamo - Branding Fee and State Capitol.

The 4 station properties are apparently payed for spaces. 

The 8 bronze colored pewter tokens are of course typical for this state edition: longhorn - cowboy hat - 
oilrig - cowboy boot - horse - red pepper - armadillo and pickup car.

There is one blue die with white pips and a red one, the colors of the Texas flag.
