Advantages: novelty of playing on a new board Disadvantages: not as good as traditional monopoly
player to win outright within a reasonable timeframe and we always ended games by counting up the money and property to see who had the most assets. The monopolists always won by a small margin but that may be because it was the adults rather than the kids playing nasty. The main reason seemed to be that the rents charged were so low that they never made much of an impact, in traditional monopoly when hotels are built then that makes a massive difference but in this game a street with a hotel may only charge $100 rent compared to $50 with no properties.
