   Edition: February 24, 2010

With special thanks to Pwee Keng Ho from Singapore, who is my counsellor for issues in this region.

Singapore map.Since 1819 Singapore has always been under the sphere of influence of England it is obvious Waddingtons to have introduced the London version of  Monopoly from the very beginning in 1936.
With the first issue in 1987 Singapore published its own city-state edition according to the Waddingtons design (although with 
diesel engines
on the station spaces), soon followed by the Parker/Hasbro design (with the blue treasure chest).

In addition various manufacturers in neighboring countries, like Malaysia and China, made and still make Monopoly-like editions, called Millionaire, Jutaria, Billionaire, Great Rich Man,  etc. The large variety of editions described in this chapter shows that Singapore trade loves to import at least many of them.  



The streets of the Singapore edition are from Go onwards:

Geylang Road
- Serangoon Road - Ang Mo Kio Station (Mass rapid transit) - Farrer Road - Braddell Road - Thomson Road - In Changi Prison/Just visiting - Battery Road - Electric Company - Empress Place - Connaught Drive - City Hall Station (Mass rapid transit) - Colombo Court - Havelock Road - St. Andrews Road - Free Parking - Robinson Road - Shenton Way - Collyer Quay - Jurong East Station (Mass rapid transit) - Marina Square - Emerald Hill - Water Works -Raffles City - Go to Changi Prison - Tanglin Road - Orchard Road - Scotts Road - Bedok Station (Mass rapid transit) - Nassim Road and Queen Astrid Park.

 

 

London streets bord, ±1985.Edition: Standard - London edition, without ref.
Publisher: Waddingtons Int.Ltd. - Singapore - ±1985
Dimensions of the box: 25.6 x 50.3 cm
The game:
This is obviously a Waddingtons game, so with a red lid with Monopoly in red characters in the white bar. Above this is the trade mark square in the mid, with 2 engines, Uncle Pennybags and the £-sign
On the cover 4 languages are mentioned, viz.: English, Malaysian, Chinese and Tamil, but the game itself is in English only.

The solid game board has a pink back and contains the streets of London. In the centrefield is the word Monopoly in open characters, parallel to the first side. There is no copyright year mentioned. The finish of this issue corresponds very much to that of the "Singapore Edition The Lion King" that was made in the same works.
Like in the in England made editions the error in the rent of the unbuilt most expensive yellow street, Piccadilly, is still present. This rent is the same as that of the other 2 streets, viz. $ 22 instead of $ 24. (This error erose already in the original, American version in 1935 and has been copied in all countries, until the early 1980s.) 
The soft plastic insert of the innerbox is white and contains 8 trays, one of which is for the small rules.
The 6 tokens are: boat - dog - hat - shoe - iron and car. They are made of dull grey metal. 
The houses and hotels are of simple plastic and have overhanging roofs with excentric chimneys. The money exists of Monopoly banknotes with the poor text "Registered Trade Mark". The property deeds have a red back, like the Community Chest cards. The Chance cards have a blue back. The bottom side of the box is unprinted.

Both the game board and the rim of the box says "Made and printed in Singapore".

This set was bought in May 1987.

 

 

Touristo, ±1985.Edition: Touristo®
             "The board game of Singapore"
Publisher: Touristo Enterprises Pte. Ltd. - ±1985
Dimensions of the box: 14.2 x 28.0 x 3.0 cm
          of the little board: 26.2 x 26.2 cm
The game:
Actually this is not a Monopoly-like game, because there is no question of properties to be bought and subsequently built on in order to finally become the monopolist. Despite the very few points making one thinking of Monopoly with this game, I will show it here anyhow, to learn a bit more of this interesting world port. 

The game goes as follows:
The play consists of getting to know some of the interesting places in Singapore, collecting as many Token points as possible and escaping the multi-various pitfalls that are simulated in the Pot Luck cards.
If a player lands on a space ear-marked Pot luck he/she has to pick a card from the top of the Pot Luck deck and follows the instructions. Each time a player passes "Welcome To Singapore" he/she has to take a Token card, except he/she is proceeding to destinations such as Changi Prison, National University Hospital and Police Station. 
Winner is he/she with the highest total Token points at the end of the game, when all Token cards have been taken from the board.

The small gameboard, showing the Singapore islands, has 11 spaces on each side and the players have to move in the anti-clockwise direction. 

From "Welcome to Singapore" onwards the 43 spaces are:

Raffles Hotel - Trishaw Hotel - Fort Canning - The Westin Stamford & Westin Plaza/Pot Luck - Sultan Mosque - Singapore Zoological Gardens - Harbour Cruise - East Coast Park/Pot Luck - Marina Square - National Museum - Police Station/Changi Prison - Kusu Island - Butterfly Park/Pot Luck - Orchard Road - Sentosa Monorail - Botanic Gardens/Pot Luck - Satay Club - Haw Par Villa - St.Andrew's Cathedral - Discotheque - MRT/S'pore Bus Service - Little India - Sri Mariamman Temple - Mandai Orchid Garden - Cable Car Ride/Pot Luck - Jurong Bird Park - Southern Islands - Jurong Crocodile Paradise - Bukit Timah Nature Reserve/Pot Luck - Japanese Garden - Fort Siloso - National University Hospital/ Changi Airport - Surrender Chamber - Changi Golf Club/Pot Luck - Van Kleef Aquarium - Chinatown - Temple of 1.000 Lights - Peranakan Place/Pot Luck - Newton Circus Food Centre - Chinese Garden - Sentosa Musical Fountain and Bukit Turf Club.

Some of the instructions on the 50 Pot Luck cards read:
Enjoy an evocative journey into Singapore's history at the Surrender Chamber on Sentosa Island.
In all there are 109 like-size figures on display accompanied by actual combat footage.
Smoking is prohibited in Government offices, lifts, buses, cinemas, theatres and restaurants.
Miss a turn and return a Token value of 5 points to the deck.
"On no! Don't tell me you have misplaced our passports!"
Go back 5 spaces and return a Token value of 5 points to the deck.

The 40 Token cards with various values of points have no intructions but do have a motto like:

10 points
'Nothing can harm a good man, either in life or after death.'  Socrates
7 points
'Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.' Oscar Wilde

Futhermore the game only has 4 plastic pawns with a lions head on top and 2 small white dice with black pips.

 

 

The Lion City edition, 1987.Edition: Standard - Singapore edition - "The Lion City", ref. #402S
Publisher: Waddingtons Int.Ltd. - Singapore - 1987
Dimensions of the box:: 26 x 51 cm
The game:
The white lid of this nice looking box shows a sturdy red lion with the text "Singapore Edition" as well as a part of the fourth side of the board.
The colors red and white have been choosen because it are the colors of the nation's flag. The mane divides into five segments which represents the nation's five ideals as embodied in the five stars of the flag: democracy, peace, progress, justice and equalty.

"It is recorded in the Malay Annals (Sejarah Melayu) that long ago a Sumatran prince named Sang Nila Utama was attracted towards the white sandy shores of an island. While sailing to the island his ship was struck by a violent storm and wrecked. The prince however managed to save himself but lost all his possessions.
Shortly after being washed ashore he came across a strange and fierce-looking creature which he took to be a lion. So when the prince discovered that this new island was a good place to settle, he named it Singa Pura or Lion City in honour of the majestic beast he first encountered."

The solid game board with pink back contains the streets of Singapore. The centrefield shows the word Monopoly in open characters parallel to the first side. The text is, as it usually is on the English gameboards, mentioned twice on each space. 
Although it is an official Waddingtons issue there are a remarkable lot of differences, viz.:

  1. The stations show a white diesel engine with a horizontal red ribbon instead of the green engine.
  2. The Changi jail does show 10 bars but there is no Jake the Jailbird to see.
  3. The Electric Company space shows a different type of bulb. (Note: The corresponding title deed says Electric Station.)
  4. On the Free Parking corner is a red circle with P, instead of the red car.
  5. Water Works shows a large white tap with a large white drip.
  6. On the third corner a brown hand-with-blue-cuff directs you to the Changi Prison.

Even in this first own Singapore edition this error in the rent of the unbuilt most expensive yellow street, Raffles City, has been carried through. Consequently this is again the same as of the other 2 streets, viz. $ 22 iinstead of $ 24.
The innerbox contains a banker's tray of thin white plastic and has 8 holes, one of them destined for the small Rules. 
The money consists of the banknotes with the inscription "Monopoly" and under that in small characters "Registered Trade Mark" and under the figure the notation "© 1935 Parker Brothers". The 7 banknotes are printed in color on white paper and the denominations are: 1 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 and 500. The prices are in Singapore dollars. 
The 6 tokens (boat, car, etc.) are nice looking and made of heavy metal.
The Chance cards have a blue back and the Community Chest cards a red one. The green, plastic houses and red hotels have an overhanging roof and an excentric situated chimney. 
The 2 large (15x15x15 mm) dice are white with black pips. 
The Rules are in English only.

"Made and printed in Singapore".

The in the neigbourgh country of Singapore develloped and produced $aidina editions are all available here, however from only a few of them it was proved to me.
This "traveller's" edition is most probably only a smaller version of the standard one of code no.SPM 21, because their design looks the same.

Uncle Pennybags arises from the middle O in Monopoly. This design reminds of the Hong Kong edition with ref. 402H.

Dimensions of the box: 25.6 x 50.3 cm
The game:
The red-white-red lid of this Waddingtons issue does not show the trade mark sign any more, but does the Waddingtons variant of the "attributes collection", i.a. with a dog instead of the shoe and a banknote of 500 instead of 1000, like in the European version. Moreover the fourth side of the gameboard is missing. 
The word Monopoly is in white characters in the first red bar and uncle Pennybags arises out the O.
Now again the set has 4 Instructions i.e. in the languages English, Malayan, Chinese and Tamil.

The solid gameboard has a mahogany colored back and contains the streets of London. On the board's centre is the word Monopoly in a thin frame with Uncle Pennybags coming out the middle O. Further the number 402D50 is mentioned. 
The property deeds have a red back, however in a white border. The Chance cards are printed yellow with white border and the Community Chest cards are printed pink likewise with white border. On the back side is in recurring text a frame with Monopoly and Uncle Pennybags. 
The 6 tokens are of shimmery metal.
The money consists of Monopoly banknotes with the texts "Reg.Trade Mark" and "All Copyrights Reserved". Striking is the back side showing the trade mark sign and the £-sign, while the rim of the lid also shows a small trade mark sign (underneath the ref.nr.), however with $-sign. 
The green plastic houses and red hotels have overhanging roofs and an excentric placed chimney, exactly like they are shown on the lid. 
The soft red plastic insert of the innerbox state for which banknotes they are ment. Besides there is a tray where the property cards can be vertically placed in. In addition there are even a few slots in which houses and hotels can be stored.

The game:
The red lid with white bar shows the trade mark sign again, but with $-sign.

The property deeds, Chance- and Community Chest cards are the same as those of the game with ref.44027. This set has many similarities to the Hong Kong Travel Edition, ref. #4021, because:

Standard Singapore edition from Parker, 00009.Edition: Standard Singapore Edition, Ref.Nr. 00009/284
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro Singapore  - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 26.8 x 40.3 x 5.3 cm
of the double folded board: 25.2 x 25.2 cm
The game:
This set is from the collection of Steve Amato - N.Y.C.

This is one of the first standard Singapore editions issued by Parker Brothers/Hasbro instead of by Waddington. It is packed in their new sized standard box showing a part the fourth side with Go under the red Monopoly bar. In the same time the ref. nr. 00009 Parker Bros. used from the very start in 1935 for their standard editions is introduced for the Singapore issues as well. 
On top the gold ring are the dice showing a 3 and 6 and next to the bar is a Merlion picture, because one of the tokens is the Merlion.

The game board has a blue back and is necessarily folded twice to fit in the shorter box.
The Chance cards are orange and Community Chest cards yellow
The banknotes, printed in black on colored paper, do no longer show anything on patent inside the ellipse.
The plastic houses and hotels have a chimney.

 

 

Chinese plagiary, Ref. nr. 2004.Edition: Falcification of Hasbro Monopoly ref. 14535, in Arabic, Ref.No.2004
Publisher: Hongyan (and as it wrongly says:Parker/ Tonka Corp.) - ±2000
Dimensions of the box: 4.8 x 26.6 x 40.5 cm
The game:
This really has never been shown before, a falcification without equal!

This in China made edition, (partly) in the Arab language, in the first instant suggests to be the officially by Parker Brothers issued French standard edition of 1996. The ref. number 14535/101 shown on the bottom of the box stands for a "white box with part of the 
4th side with the red Monopoly bar with Uncle Pennybags" on top, while "101" is Hasbro's country number for France. However:

the most expensive street on the Paris game board is the "Rue de la Paix", that so needfully had to partly be translated into 
English to "Road Paix". And why is the word Chance (the same in English as in French) translated into Luck, while on the Go field 
the French word Départ has not been translated and the rest of the text is in bad English?

the text next to the "color picture of the laughing family" on the bottom of the box is again a poor translation into English of the originally French story.

Rue de la Paix.And you will subsequently fall into an other surprise opening the the box, made of crude brown cardboard, because you do not get a nice and solid board with the Paris streets but two soft boards, 1 of them being a chessboard and the other .... a board with the streets of London. Considering the fact that:

the locomotives on the stations are green and "go backwards to Go"

there is no blue treasure chest on the Community Chest spaces

nor is there a gold-ring-with-diamond on the Super Tax space

the centre field of the game board shows Monopoly in open characters

this game board shows up to be a copy of the English board (according to the Waddington design) . Although this edition was launghed much later than 1982 the rent of the unbuilt properties of all 3 yellow streets is still the same (£ 22.-). This is incorrect because this error was rectified in about 1982 as the Parker Brothers design with a.o. the black engines became applied.
The rectangular Chance cards are yellow, the Community Chest cards pink. Both spaces for these cards are provided with a Micky Mouse figure. This immediately exhort the question if a connection could exsist between this Chinese manufacturer Hongyan and the makers of corresponding Oman editions as well those with ref. nr. 7405 from the countries Saudi-Arabia, Yemen and India?
However, the 7 banknotes have been copied with incredible accuracy and quality from the original 14535 edition even including the hardly legible text "©1996 Tonka Corporation". The 7 denominations are resp.: 100 - 500 - 1.000 - 2.000 - 5.000 - 10.000 and 50.000.
The insert of the box is a copy in white plastic of the red insert of the original edition.
The 6 tokens are simple pawns of plastic. The dark green houses and red hotels are of plastic and have overhanging roofs with a chimney.
Of both small dice (with sides of 6 mm) all numbers are in blue pips, except for the red 4 and the thick red pip for 1.

Although this set has been "Made in China" it probably was only ment for export.

The price of this set amounted to S$ 12.90 (€ 7.10) June 2003 in Singapore.

 

 

Millionaire, b.c.92128.Edition: Jutaria - Millionaire - b.c. 92128
               "Pek Origina" (Original packaging)
Publisher: Hee Trading Co - Butterworth - Malaysia - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 14.2 x 23.0 x 2.2 cm
of the unfolded "board": 35.5 x 38.0 cm
The game:
This edition is trilingual: Malayan - Chinese and English, although the Rules are only in Malayan and Chinese. 

Like all of these small inland made games the boxes and its contents are very poor, although the print quality is good. The box opens on the small side. 
Both sides of this box show a "Great Rich Man" (compare with Parker's "Rich uncle Pennybags") in front of the Malaysian flag, on the Chinese side bearing a white jacket and on the Malaysian side a black jacket
Note that the white dice in the green oval show 5 and 4.

Why may one say a Juteria to be an imitation Monopoly game
Looking to this edition it is because:
Both games have a "Rich Uncle".
Both have 10 spaces per side although the board of this edition is much smaller and consequently all spaces are.
The 4 corners have the same purpose: Start - Jail - Free Parking and Go-to-Jail, although the pictures on the spaces are different. However a baby in a Jail? And a somewhat strange policeman in the Go-to-Jail corner.
There are two kinds of card-stacks. In this edition it are Fate and Chance cards, positioned on top the middle of side 1 and 3.

There are 32 hollow plastic, blue houses and 12 red hotels, all with tiled roofs and excentric situated chimney, the houses having roof edges. They come fixed together, on casting trees.

KLIA control tower. The property deeds are all on one white paper sheet, printed in red, with a big light blue block on the mortgage side.

Who's the Richest?, ref.nr. 3315.Edition: Who's the Richest? - Art.No. 3315
              "To be the richest to travel around the world"
Publisher: Hong Kong manufacturer with Reg.No.9710074.3 - ±2001 
Dimensions of the box: 25.8 x 40.7 x 3.3 cm 
          of the white case:
19 X 26 X 3 cm
The game:
The sight of this kind of "travel edition" makes immediately thinking of the Polish edition EuroBusiness, Nr.Art.23708 that was "made in China". The resemblance between these 2 games is that large that they must come from the same manufacturer. Both editions do also produce an Uncle Pennybags, to suggest a relation with Parker Brothers. In this edition he travels around the board in a plane.

The bottom part of the white case contains the little game board on the small ends of which are trays for the banknotes. In the middle of the board is a tray Lucky Pool and a red pointer over a space with figures from 1 to 6 and 3 outer sections:

red = unacceptable
yellow = acceptable =  you may build 1 house and pay the amount to the bank
free =  you may build 1 house for free

This arrow acts as a die to move over the board.
The lid part of the case also has a red spinner. This acts as a Chance space. In addition are another 4 little trays  and "openings"  for the 40 plastic pegs in the colors red, yellow, green and blue and 10 red houses. There are 4 tokens (or better: flyers) shaped as colored plastic airplanes.

The 28 spaces of the little board show 10 European countries, from Go onwards a space showing the nations' flag, followed by one showing a landmark
Australia - Sydney's operahouse - Belgium - Manneke Pis - Canada - Niagara Falls - Denmark - Mermaid - England - Big Ben Clock - France - Eiffel Tower - Germany - Heidelberg Castle - Holland - windmill - Italy - Leaning Tower of Pisa - U.S.A. - Statue of Liberty.

Houses can be built on the properties with a flag. However, if you may build depends on which part of the circle the arrow points out when you turn the arrow. In proof a peg of the same color as your airplane has to be put in the opening next to the flag on the space of the board. In addition another peg must be placed in the lid section next to the letter of that country and next to that a house as well. For the second and third house this house must be removed to the next openings. This is the way your properties are determined and there is no need to collect streets of a color group. Besides you have to consider next points:

On the "landmark space" next to your own property one has to pay or get paid (!) but this is business for the banker.
Even if you are sent back to Go you will receive 100 $!
In case you land on one of the 4 "Try your Luck" spaces, you must rotate the spinner in the lid section. There you run the risk of paying or receiving. All these transactions run via the "Lucky Pool" tray on the centrefield of the game board.
You may own 5 properties at the maximum.
When you land on a space with flag without having sufficient capital you still may turn the arrow counting on the possibility of landing on the free section.

The game is over the moment one player runs out of money.

 

 

The Billionaire, b.c.92319.Edition: Jutaria - The Billionaire- b.c. 92319
              "Pek Origina" (Original packaging)
Publisher: Yan Hee Trading Sdn.Bhd. - ±2001
Dimensions of the box: 14.7 x 21.2 x 2.0 cm
of the unfolded "board": 34.5 x 37.4 cm
The game:
This Billionaire edition is a "brother" issue of the Millionaire set with a lower bar code number and from the same manufacturer. It is almost a copy except for the prices being multiplied by a factor 10.

Other differences in design are:
The pictures on the box are turned for a quarter. Funny to note that the "Great Rich Man" now has a pink bow tie, whereas his 
American counterpart, Mr. Monopoly, is wearing a red one since 2000.
Manufacturer's name is written underneath the picture in the centre of the board.
Of course the banknotes are now "The Billionaire Notes" from the "United State of Billionaire". They do show the name of 
Yan Hee, however without mentioning a year.
The lines surrounding the spaces of the game board are dark blue, while those of the Millionaire are light brown.

In this set is a note for "a gift set which contain 12 pieces of free Name Card (Actual Price: RM 3.00). ...You need to pay RM 1.0 as postage. ...".

This edition was "Buatan Malaysia" (Made in Malaysia).

It was bought in Singapore February 2004 at the price of  SIN$ 2.90 (€ 1.60).

Dimensions of the box: 14.5 x 23.0 x 2.3 cm
of the unfolded "board": 35 x 35 cm
The game:
This slightly larger game box looks very similar to the earlier described one with bar code ref., reason to assume it comes from the same manufacturer. 
(The "mystery gift" in this set is a tiny plastic sheet (4x5 cm) to compose a space shuttle of.)
Both the lid and the bottom show again the "Great Rich Man waving with banknotes" and bearing a purple jacket this time. The Petronas Twin Towers of Kuala Lumpur are now shown on the box as well as on the game board. Besides, the (Menara) KL Tower is also shown on the box. The box opens on the left longer side and the lid is one whole with the bottom part.

This edition is trilingual: Malayan - Chinese and English and the Rules are now in English as well. However, some strange words are used, like:

The same edition has also been published with a rosette on the lid, saying "Edisi baru/New edition" rather than the promise of a mystery gift! 

 

 

 

Millionaire New Generation.Edition: Millionaire - New Generation
Publisher: Unknown - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 20.2 x 14.0 x 2.0 cm
of the unfolded paper "board": 36.2 x 39.0 cm
The game:
Since in a yellow corner of the lid is said "New Generation" I date this edition a bit later than the earlier mentioned, Malaysia made "Jutaria with a mystery gift". There are more similarities between this edition and the other one, such as:
The same "Great Rich Man" is clearly present on both sides of the little box.
The 17 points English Rules on the small sallow paper (13.5x19 cm) use the same strange words for a die, banknote and token, 
meaning that this game must have been made by the same unknown Malayan manufacturer.

The spaces on the paper game board with a blue center square, are from "From this way" onwards all properties of Hong Kong:

Tai Po Road - Fate - Lai Chi Kok Road - (star) - Shim Sa Tusi Station - Silver Mind Bay - Chance - Castle Peak Road - Village Club - Jail - Kai Tak Amusement Park - Electric Company - Lai Yuen Amusement Park - Boumdary Street - Sha Tin Station - Edinburgh Statue Square - Fate - Waterloo Road - Prince Edward Road - Car Park - Li Yue Mui - Chance - King's Road - Des Voeux Road - Pai Po Station - Garden Park - Victoria Park - Water Authority - Queen's Road - Go To Jail - Nathan Road - Show's - Fate - Repulse Bay - Sha Tin Station - Chance - Shek O - <>  and Victoria Peak.

All sides of the soft little box are reinforced at the inside by s trip of paper fixed by staples, a not so effective solution.
The 15 pink Chance cards are situated next to the Car Park corner, while the 15  yellow Fate cards are next the the "From this way" corner. Their sizes are 54x83 mm. 
The instructions on some of these cards read:
A fine for Black Marketing (or buy a "Chance" for $ 1,000)
Your Birthday Collect $ 100 from each player
Security Deposit for to USA $ 2,400
Down an Enemy Plane - $ 3,000

The property deeds are thin white paper sheets of 70x97 mm, the rents side printed in blue, the mortgage side in red. The banknotes are printed in color on white paper.  The 7 denominations are resp.: 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000.
The 4 tokens are colored, plastic pawns.
There is but 1 small, white die with black pips, except for the red 4 and big red dot for 1.

The price of this set amounted to SIN$ 2.50 (€ 1.40) in Singapore July 2003. 

 

 

Millionaire around the World.Edition: Millionaire/Jutaria  - Around the world/Mengelilingi dunia  
Publisher: Unknown manufacturer - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 18.2 x 15.2 x 3.8 cm
of the unfolded "board":  38.0 x 38.3 cm
The game:
Although the design and presentation of this edition has great resemblance with those of the other editions described there is no reason to believe this set to be made by one of their manufacturers. The "Great Rich Man" in this edition looks like an Austrian Tiroler man without beard, but with a handful of American dollars.

This edition is trilingual: Malayan - Chinese and English, but the Rules are only in Malayan and Chinese. 

Both sides of this little box show a collage of pictures of the landmarks mentioned on the game board.
The properties are 28 countries each represented by a picture of a landmark. It is funny to see that the designer apparently don't know the country France, only it's capital Paris. Another "new" country seems to be Afrika. The game starts with Malaysia, followed by its neighbour city Singapore.

The spaces on the paper game board are from Mula/"Start from here" onwards:

Malaysia (Petronas Twin Tower)(1) - Fate - Singapore (Merlion Statue)(2) - Income Tax paid - Australia (Harbor Bridge & Opera House)(3) - New Zealand (Pohutu Geyser)(4) - Chance - Chile (Moai Statue)(5) - Brazil (Statue of Christ)(6) - Penjara Antarabangsa/International Jail - USA (Statue of Liberty)(7) - Canada (Totem Poles)(8) - Ireland (Giant Causeway)(9) - Norway (Vigeland Sculpture Park)(10) - England (London Bridge)(11) - Paris (Eiffel Tower)(12) - Fate - Spain (Sagrada Familia Church)(13) - The Netherlands (Windmills)(14) - Free Car Park - Germany (Neu Schwanstein Castle)(15) - Chance - Italy (Leaning Tower, Pisa)(16) - Greece (Parthenon)(17) - Turkey (Yeni Mosque)(18) - Egypt (Great Sphinx, Gize)(19) - Afrika (Mount Kilimanjaro & Africa Elephant)(20) - Saudi Arabia (The Holy Kaaba)(21) - Russia (St.Basil's Cathedral)(22) - Go to Jail - India (Tai Mahal)(23) - China (Great Wall)(24) - Fate - Japan (Mount Fuji)(25) - Hong Kong (Chinese Junk Harbor)(26) - Chance - Myanmar (Shwedagon Pagoda)(27) - Asset and Thailand (Wat Phra Kaeo)(28).

Mark further that:
The dice near "Great Rich Man" show 5 and 4.
There are no train stations in the middle of each side.
The scoundrel behind the only 2 bars of the jail is shown by a picture of a man with a tag with number 2002 (which can also be a  hidden way to mention the year of issue).
The Free Car Park corner is illustrated by a picture of a red racing car.
The Go to Jail corner is illustrated by a drawn policeman with pointing finger.
The space for the Fate cards is next to Mula, while the Chance stack is near the Free Car Park.

The property deeds are all on one white paper sheet, both sides printed in red, the mortgage side clearly showing the space numbers and countries.
Each set of 15  Fate and Chance cards is printed in dark blue on a sheet of colored paper.
The money consist of banknotes all printed in color on 2 sheets of white paper in 7 denominations 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000 RM (Ringgit Malayan).
The set has 4 hollow plastic pawns for tokens.
There are but 30 hollow plastic, dark green houses and 10 red hotels, all with lines over the roof and excentric situated chimney. They are not fixed together.
The set comes with only 1 grey plastic die, the pips of which are not colored.

This set was bought in Singapore February 2004 at the price of  SIN$ 2.90 (€ 1.60).

 

 

Millionaire for kids- ±2002.Edition: Millionaire - red box
              "Specially designed for ages 5 to 8"
Publisher: unknown - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 25.8 x 18.0 x 3.5 cm
of the unfolded paper board: 26.2 x 26.2 cm
The game:
The game is bilingual, both English and Chinese, but the evident Rules pamflet shows only 13 lines in Chinese.
The lid of this edition suggests it to be a kind of "junior game" but the paper game board looks very similar to a Parker design of an adult edition with 22 streets, the common 4 corners a.s.o. The names of the (numbered) properties on the board are in Chinese as well in English and the whole space has one basic color. The colors are randomly applied and do not form groups.

From "From this way " all properties appear to be from Hong Kong, viz.:

Tai Po Road - Lai Chi Kok RoadShim Sa Tsui Station - Silver Mind Bay - Chance - Castle Peak Road - Village Club - AIL (should be JAIL) - Kai Tak Amusement Park - Electric Company - Lai Yuen Amusement Park - Boundary Street - Sha Tin Station - Edinburgh Statue Square - Fate - Waterloo Road - Prince Edward Road - Car Park - Li Yue Mui - Chance - King's Road - Des Voeux Road - Tai Po Station - Garden Park - Victoria Park - Water Authority - Queen's Road - Go to Jail - Nathan Road - Show's - Fate - Bay - Law Woo Station - Chance - Shek and Victoria Peak.

The centre space of the game "board" is blue and it shows the word Millionaire in Chinese and English as well as the Chance field (next to the Car Park corner) and the Fate field (next to the start corner).
The white Fate and Chance cards are bundled together with the pink property deeds to a little "booklet" (60x93 mm), glued at one small end. Except for the number and name of the street in English, all the rest on the property deeds is in Chinese only.
There are 8 banknotes (50x97 mm) with a real Monopoly look, i.e.an oval in the middle, showing running Mr. Monopoly, and 4 squares, two of them with a house and the other two  with the value of the note. They are printed in black on colored paper. The denominations are: 10 - 50 -100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 - 2000 and 5000.
There are only 18 tiled houses but no hotels.
The 6 tokens are colored plastic pawns with a large base.
The one die is a chinese one with a big red dot for 1, the 4 in red pips and the other figures in blue dots.

This game was "Made in China".

It was bought in Singapore February 2004 at the price of  SIN$ 4.00 (€ 2.20).

 

 

Millionaire, kids, travel ±2002.Edition: Millionaire "travel" - Great Rich Man - yellow box
              "You can take it with you!"
Publisher: unknown - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 31.7 x 16.7 x 5.5 cm
of the unfolded paper board: 37.3 x 52.8 cm
The game:
Chinese characters to be seen on the lid of the box:
the 2 characters in the red spot stand for bai wan = million.
the 3 blue characters next to that mean Da Fu Ong = Great Rich man.
the 5 big characters on top the dollar sign stand for Fu Da Shu De Quian = Rich uncle's money.

This is clearly a Monopoly-like game for children. The design of the lid, showing all kinds of fair attractions, is copied on the middle of the paper game board with 24 property and chance spaces. These spaces have different sizes and their names are in Chinese only, except for the Go! and Happy Hour corners. Mr. Monopoly, very frequently present on this board, is very much like the Parker one but wearing spectacles. 

There are no Chance cards but 3 small spinners, with a question mark shaped dial, instead: 1 (blue) for movement, although there is a die as well, 1 green and 1 pink for some kind of  Chance outcome.
Although made of strong white glossy paper the design of the 5 color printed banknotes look very similar to that of the notes described in the preceeding edition, reason why I would not be surprised if both editions were made by the same Chinese manufacturer. The notes are in values of 1 to 5 as usual in Junior editions. 
The tokens are 6 sturdy colored hollow plastic chess pawns, meaning the game can be played by 6 children, which is rather much for a junior game.
The Rules are in Chinese only on one single sheet .

This game was "Made in China".

It was bought in Singapore February 2004 at the price of  SIN$ 6.00 (€ 3.30).


 

Current Generation, ±2002.Edition: Great Rich Man - Current Genersation
Publisher: Unknown Chinese manufacturer - ±2002
Dimensions of the box: 18.0 x 24.0 cm
of the paper game board: 25.8 x 53.3 cm
The game:
A short moment I'd got the impression this edition was made by the same manufacturer as of the "Millionaire Around the World" (see higher up) because of the "Austrian Tiroler man", but on second thought there is no reason at all to make any comparison. Except perhaps for the comic moustached "rich man" with red hat, hanged with a camera and draging 2 suitcases, shown on the lid as well as on the board's midfield.

This edition was made in China, what is "confirmed" by the fact the design of the very tiny (27x61 mm) banknotes to be a copy of those slightly larger notes of various Chinese editions with the remarkable mistake in writing oneolardn for "one dollar".
The oblong board has 13 spaces on the long sides and only 5 on the short sides. The properties are countries from all over the world and illustrated by the nation's flag. They are grouped together in 8 groups of 3 color spaces. When we compare this countries edition with that one with Item Nr. 3004 (see below) it is notable that the countries, although less in number, are situated in the same order. The only English words in this edition are Start, Destiny and Chance.

From Start onwards all 36 spaces are:

China - Japan - Korea - ? Destiny - Philippines - Somalia - Thailand - Stop - India - Turkey - Israel - ! Chance - corner - Austria - Switzerland - France - ? Destiny - corner -  Belgium - Netherlands - United Kingdom - ? Destiny- Denmark - Finland - Greece - ?? - Italy - Canada - USA - ! Chance - corner - Mexico - Brazil - Australia and  Chance.

All property-, Chance- and Destiny cards (31x42 mm) are printed on a sheet of cardboard from which they must be torn loose. There is an additional strip of 3 cards, showing the cartoon characters Garfield, Dragon Ball GT (= Japanese cartoon) and Sonic the purpose of which is not clear to me.
The 5 banknotes are printed in color on white paper in denominations of: 100 - 500 - 1000 - 2000 and 5000.
There are but 4 little hollow pawns as tokens.
The only one die is of red plastic and is only 7x7x7 mm in size.
The Chinese Rules are printed in but 16 lines inside the lid of the game.

 

 

Tour through China edition, item nr.2005.Edition: Great Rich Man - Tour through China - Mini box, Item Nr.2005
Publisher: Yawan Stationery Co. Ltd. - Fuzhou - China - ±2003
Dimensions of the box: 17.2 x 11.5 x 2.5 cm
      of the paper board: 28.3 x 41.2 cm
The game:
Only because the item nr. of this edition, made by the same company as of the set with item nr. 3004, is lower I guess it to be published earlier.
This manufacturer makes some dozens of different Monopoly-like games, always under the "Uncle Wang Game" logo and showing those funny kids. That is why they often give the impression to be junior games while they mostly aren't!

The board of this edition has 9 spaces on the long sides and only 6 on the short sides. The picture in the centre of the board is the same as on the lid. Next to this picture are the Opportunity and Fate spaces.The properties are cities and provinces of China. They are grouped per 2 and 3 spaces.

From Go onwards the 14 properties, utilities and stations are:

Sichuan - Fate - Hubei - Property Tax - Beijing - Fuzhou train station - Opportunity - Zhejiang - Jail - Shan Xi - Shanghai - Fate - ?? - Water Works - Free Parking - ?? - Hainan - Opportunity -  ? Tax - Hong Kong - ? train station - Guangdong - Fate - Go to Jail - ?? - Opportunity - ?? - Electric Company and Hebei.

It is striking there are only 2 stations while both "Parker utilities", Water Works and Electric Company, are applied.

The little box has a 3 holes plastic tray inside. One of the holes is for a little box (70x 48x20 mm) containing all property cards as well as the 12 Fate and 12 Opportunity cards.
Another hole is for the small banknotes (70x40 mm). They are one-sided printed in color on white paper, in 6 denominations: 100 - 500 -1000 - 2000 -5000 and 10000.
There are 24 hollow, plastic houses with tiles and central chimney and only 6 hotels of the same sizes as the houses.
The tokens consist of 4 funny cardboard kids to be pressed out the sheet on top the houses and hotels (see the picture), folded and placed in a plastic base of the same color.
There is but 1 Chinese die, so with the red dot and 4.
The Rules are in Chinese only.

 

Menu of the Settler's Café.Edition: The Settler's Menue 
Publisher: Settlers Cafe - Singapore - 2003
The story:
I was indicated on this very special menu by Kyra van Wingerden - Den Haag- NL. 
Being on holidays in Singapore she ended up in this Café, where she got this Monopoly-like menu served up. (Not to take along, but for sale anyhow.) Being owner of a "Games and Puzzles" shop she immediately recognized the Monopoly game board in this large menu.

Parkers Wines corner.It turned out there are two of these Café's in Singapore, where one can not only eat and drink, but moreover can play all kinds of game (choice from more then 600).  

On the game board the streets have been replaced by dishes like: Black Pepper Lamb Chop, Cheesy Melts and Triple Deckers, just to call a couple. 
The prices mentioned on the spaces do of course concern the dices.
It is striking that one of the corner spaces shows Parker's Wines, but it is doubful if they will be supplied by Parker Brothers!

Both café's are in the student districts.

 

 

 

Tour through the World, item nr.3004.Edition: Great Rich Man - Tour through the World, Item Nr. 3004
               "A Banking Board Game"
Publisher: Yawan Stationery Co., Ltd. - Fuzhou - China - 2004
Dimensions of the box: 32.0 x 23.5 x 4.3 cm
      of the paper board: 48.0 x 48.3 cm
The game:
The name of the game is saying that the properties on the game board will be countries from all over the world, represented by their flags 
on the concerning spaces. From the pictures on the background of the centrefield I recognize the Eiffeltower, Sydney's Theatre and Pisa's 
Leaning Tower. Although the country names are given in readable text all the rest, like the Rules, the ? (Chance) and ! (Fate) cards and property deeds (sizes of all these cards are the same: 52x 83 mm) is in Chinese only. The paper used is of a fine glossy quality. 

The nice looking banknotes (48x91 mm) are printed in color on one side of white glossy paper in 7 denominations:10 - 50 - 100 - 500 - 1000
2000
and 5000. Since these banknotes show the years 1962 (the establishment of the company) and 2004, this year must be the year of issue of 
this edition!
The innerbox contains a transparant insert with 5 holes for the attributes. Of these the most striking is the little roulette replacing the dice. 
Another funny thing is the only 4 tokens being colored plastic cars having their own transparent plastic little box. 
The presence in the game of 50 hollow, plastic houses with tiles and an excentric chimney and 16 hotels of the same sizes will be necessary because of the the fact there are 51 properties. They are divided in groups from 2 to 6 spaces.

The 51 properties are from the start onwards: 

China - Japan - Korea - Philippines - Malaysia - Somalia - Vhailand (misprint?) - India - Sri Lanka - Lran (another misprint?) - Iraq - Saudi Arabia - Syria - corner - Turkey - Lebanon - Israel - Russia - Poland - Germany - Austria - Switzerland - France - Belgium - Netherlands - United Kingdom - corner - Finland - Sweden - Denmark - Greece - Italy - Spain - Portugal - Egypt - Morocco - Zambia - South Africa - Canada - USA - corner - Mexico - Honduras - Nicaragua - Costa Rica - Panama - Cuba - Colombia - Bolivia - Brazil - Argentinia - Chile - Australia and New Zealand.

Uniquely Singapore-2005.Edition: Uniquely Singapore, Ref.Nr.  40001/284
              Special Edition  
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro Singapore - 2005
Dimensions of the box: 26.8 x 40.3 x 5.3 cm
The game:
This set is from the collection of Steve Amato - N.Y.C.

Pwee Keng Ho gives following comment on this issue: 
"Uniquely Singapore" is the slogan recently adopted by our Singapore Tourism Board to promote tourism to our country.

In the internet encyclopedia Wikipedia I found the following story on the Merlion:

"The Merlion was first designed as an emblem for the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in 1964 - the lion head with a fish body resting on a crest of waves quickly became Singapore’s icon to the rest of the world.
Originally located at the Merlion Park by the Esplanade Bridge, the Merlion and the Cub became a popular tourist attraction for visitors. The installation ceremony took place on 15 September 1972, officiated by the then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
Today, the Merlion has found a new home just 120 metres away from its original location, adjacent to one Fullerton.
Measuring 8.6 metres high and weighing 70 tonnes, the Merlion statue was built from cement fondue by the late Singapore craftsman, Mr. Lim Nang Seng. A second and smaller Merlion statue (the Cub), measuring two metres high and weighing three tones, was also built by Mr. Lim. The body was made of cement fondue, the skin from porcelain plates and eyes from small red teacups.
Designed by Mr Fraser Brunner, a curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium, the lion head represents the lion spotted by Prince Sang Nila Utama when he re-discovered Singapura in 11 AD, as recorded in the "Malay Annals". The fish tail of the Merlion symbolises the ancient city of Temasek (meaning “sea” in Javanese) by which Singapore was known before the Prince named it “Singapura” (meaning “lion” (singa) “city” (pura) in Sanskrit), and represents Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village."

The game board's play side is bright and shows all kinds of Singapore landmarks. Its back is blue.

The new properties, for this Singapore promotion edition only, are from Go onwards:

Three special Singapore tokens.Newton Circus - Community Chest - Lau Pa Sat - Income Tax - Toapayoh MRT Station - Singapore Botanic Gardens - Chance -Mandai Orchid Garden,- Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve - Jail - Clarke Quay - Electric Company - Boat Quay - Robertson Quay - City Hall MRT Station - Bugis - Community Chest - Marina Bay - Orchard Road - Free Parking - Arab Street - Chance - Chinatown - Little India - Raffles Place MRT Station - Jurong Birdpark - Singapore Zoo - Water Works - Underwater World - Go To Jail - Victoria Concert Hall - Esplanade - Community Chest - Singapore Indoor Stadium - Harbourfront MRT Station - Chance - Asians Civilisations Museum - Goods And Services Tax and Parliament House.

The Chance and Community Chest cards are pink and green respectively.
