Inflatable Monopoly

Publisher: Hasbro / Brite Power

Ref: Nr. INF100

A very different version of Monopoly which came in a plastic case with a handle and also a different distributor.

It came flat packed in the case and you have to blow it up making a square inflated table with a the Monopoly board on top. Down the sides were pockets for the players money and pockets around the edge of the board for their property cards.

The design of the UK version is different to the USA version, not just the properties.

2003

Deluxe

Publisher: Parker / Hasbro

Ref: 0303 00011 102

Dimensions of the box:

27.0 x 40.3 x 6.5 cm

Like the standard editions of Parker/Hasbro the Deluxe editions of all countries now have got the number 11, the number already in use for the American Deluxe editions from the very early issues in 1935 onwards.

The performance of this new issue is characterized by:

• again a more luxury issue compared to all previous Deluxe editions: now with a lot of "lightening" silver and gold of the designs on both the lid and the game board and a high glossy surface of the lid.
• a nice picture of the game in all its details at the bottom of the box clearly showing how the nice, mahogany coloured bankers's tray has to be used.
• irritating glittering gold colored spaces of the board (with black back) causing an unpleasant play.
• an untidy filled up midfield of the game board with 18 tedious glittering pictures.
• a gold coloured plastic insert in the innerbox, with 1 large space for the banker's tray and 4 holes for the attributes with illustrations in relief in the bottom.
• standard banknotes with ref.nr. 100 00009 00C0, set (C).
• blank wooden houses and red, wooden hotels, both with overhanging roof.
• 10 gold tokens.
• 2 red dice with gold pips.
• a well editied Rules booklet with many illustrations and a short "History" with a number of pictures of earlier issues.

Nostalgia (Wood box with 1957 engine)

Publisher:

Parker Brothers / Hasbro

Ref: 0311 40753 102

Dimensions of the box:

5.3 x 26.3 x 26.3 cm

Hasbro succeeded once more to make a gain for a collector with this "nostalgic" edition. As well on the push out lid as on 1 of the surfaces of the two times folded game board and the midfield of the board is the engine of the American 1957 edition.

When the game board has been taken out the the box a "banker's tray" remains with 6 holes to store the wooden houses and hotels, the property deeds and tokens, while notches in the partitions serve as holders for the remarkable small (43 x 96 mm) banknotes.

Because of their sepia background the property deeds (68 x 77 mm) have a very refined look. The small (45 x 76 mm) Chance and Community Chest cards are nicely illustrated again.

The 6 tokens (locomotive - thimble - hat - shoe - dog and racing car) are bronzy. Both small (11 mm) dice are ivory coloured and have black pips. The Rules are also "from the past", i.e. printed on a long narrow folded paper.
