One of the first comments mentioned “super mario brothers monopoly” being a well designed game for kids.

I’d like to add that the Star Wars monopoly is also very well designed and has a lot of new features that solve the biggest problems of the game taking too long, of those ahead almost always staying ahead and for the game being boring when itnisnt your turn.

Games finish in under an hour. They have cards that opponents can play during your turn to block or change your moves. Best of all, it’s only possibly for you (as a single player) to win if your side (datk or light) has the most point, making it an interesting semi-team game.

It’s a great game and I’ve played it with many professional game designers who also really like it.




Which version are you referring to? I found several versions on Amazon which appear to have different gameplay.


Would people still play these Monopoly-derivatives, if they were not associated with the Monopoly brand?

But it's good to hear that they seem to be moving 'Monopoly' into a direction of something more playable.


I never bought any of those as I assumed they were the same game of Monopoly but with different pieces and renamed properties. I had no idea about different gameplay.
