Anti-Monopoly Board Game
Ready for an update of the classic 'monopoly' folk game? It's a twist right out of today's headlines: free market competitors clash with ruthless monopolists.
Contents include: 28 title cards, 25 competitor cards, 25 monopolist cards, game board, 6 pawns, 50 houses and apartments, dice, paper money and instructions
Players have a choice of two ways of playing and winning the game:
- Game A. To win by bankrupting all other players.
- Game B. To be the richest competitor after all monopolists have been bankrupted or to be the richest monopolist after all competitors have been eliminated.
The Real Estate Trading Game for the 21st Century...
Other real estate games jumble competition and monopolies together. In Anti-Monopoly, however, players are divided into competitors and monopolists before the game starts. The two types of players then follow different rules in their quest for big money! Anti-Monopoly is fun to play, easy to learn, and can be played over and over!
Fun for 2 to 6 players, recommended for ages 8 and up

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Opening the box, I was really surprised with the finish of the game. After a 10 year legal battle to get the game out, I expected batter quality. Super generic plastic playing pieces, the font, line thickness, colors, and even layout of the board looks as though it was all thrown together at the last second. The cards (equivalent of chance) were again low quality and worse, not well thought out.
The idea behind the changes sounds great but I was just disappointed that after working on this for over 10 years the creator didn't bother to polish the end product.
I would only recommended this to people who love monopoly and don't mind playing very long games of it. I enjoyed it but most players got bored after 3 hours and could not seeing the game end any time soon.
