Publisher: Hanky Panky Toys - abt.1977
Dimensions of the box: 32.7 x 43.2 cm
…….……of the board: 41 x 41 cm
The game:
Considering the number of this game it is likely that it is issued in the same period as the Anti .. jeu – game – spel – spiel ® described hereafter! Apparently Jack Monschouwer, the owner of the then publishing house Hanky Panky Toys, had specialized in Monopoly like games, because in this game also the acquiring of properties (gasstations) is involved, at which restaurants (white) and motels (red) can be built. 
He also used to make them European Games, because also here the Service- and All-Risk-cards (comparable with Chance and Community Chest cards) are in 4 languages viz.: German, Dutch, English and French. When you draw a Service card you are to pay gas. Some of the All-Risk-cards say for example: "You buy a new car - pay 5000 euro in addition" and "You win first prize (?) in Car Rally 1500 euro".

From Start on (where you receive 1600 euro) the gasstations are always in the West and East side of the following cities: Berlin - Paris - London - Kopenhagen - Luxembourg - Bern - Milano - Brussels - Amsterdam and Vienna. In the mid of each side is a gas company, resp.: Shell - Chevron - Esso and Mobil. Furthermore there are the 2 spaces Car Repair and Taxi, however at other places than the Water Works and Electric Company. 
The tokens consist of 4 plastic passenger cars and 2 petrol cars. The money consists of Euro banknotes with the values of 10 - 25 - 100 - 1000 and 5000.
The back of the game board is green.

This set was bought in 1996.

                The "Bust~the~Trust!" Game
Publisher: a Hanky Panky product - 1977
Dimensions of the box: 25 x 48 cm
The game:
This game dates from the short period it was forbidden to Ralph Anspach to use the name Anti-Monopoly. That is why this "fighter against the Charles Darrow concoction" in America had to take some 40,000 sets of Anti-Monopoly back from the market. He continued with the same game under the name Anti.
The basic idea of the game is to end off the monopolistic practises of the 3-company-combinations of the game board. This is also called Trustbusting so the players are called trustbusters. The winning trustbuster is the one who ends with the largest number of social-credit points and euro's.

There 3 kinds of company combinations:

1. Oligopoly-combination which is marked by 1 accusation circle O

2. Trust-combination which is marked by 2 accusation circles OO

3. Monopoly-combination which is marked by 3 accusation circles OOO

"Accusing" is done by placing a small, round chip of the same color as your token on such a circle. When all accusation circles of 1 combination are covered the monopolistic practises of that combination have been ended. An accusation chip can be bought for 100 Euro from the "Budget-Commisioner".
If the B-C lends money to a player he provides a Social-Credit card as an IOU.

There are 36 postbox cards, who give favourable or unfavourable news like:

Players who land on Court have not to throw double afterwards, because then "they have been found guilty of insult of the court" for what reason they have to pay 50 Euro.

This game can be played in 3 different ways:

1. Basic game: In this way the course of the game is ruled by coincidence.

2. Low-budget game: The trustbusters start with less money.

3. Trade game: Here the trustbusters are allowed to swap accusations.

The back side of the game board is blue.

This game goes with German, English, French and/or Dutch instructions.

Edition: Petropolis, ref.nr. 3206
Publisher: KLEE Nürnberger Spielefabrik - 1975/81
Dimensions of the box: 27.3 x 40.1 cm
The game:
The aim of this game is to collect as many oil concessions as possible and to obtain with that the highest possible profit from the oil producing countries. Despite the maker of this game calls it a "dice game" it has all the elements of the well-known Monopoly game. 
Start/Landung (= airport of Geneve-Switserland) lies on the midfield and one has to play counter-clockwise. 27 countries are spread over the strong game board, each of them having 1 oilconsession to give away.
From the airport onwards the 37 spaces are respectivily:

Venezuela - Argentinien - Ekuador - USA - K -Telex - Mexiko - Gehen Sie zum Internationalen Gerichtshof - Aufanken/Zahlen Sie $ 100,000 - Indonesien - Brunei Mal - Australien - China - UDSSR - Norwegen - Telex - OPEC Konferenz - Libyen - Algeri - Nigeria - Gabun - Falkenjagd in der Wüste - Internationaler Gerichtshof - Telex - Irak - Kuwait - Ägypten - Schardscha - Dubai - Abu Dhabi - Nochmal würfeln - Gehen Sie zum Internationalen Gerichtshof - Oman - Telex -Bahrain - Katar - Iran - Vermisst in der Wüste and Saudi Arabien.

Subject to the number of players the consessions are to be distributed amongst them at the start of the game; the remainder must be sold.
The oilmagnates always move over the board by plane. Over or on Start you receive P$ 500,000. 
The 7 tokens are nice goldcolored "emblems on a base" with the picture of resp. a Sheik, oil drums, dromedary, oil storage tanks, swards, plane and tanker.  
The money consists of clumsy tiny (45 x 75 mm) but good looking Petrodollar banknotes from the Worldbank. In the centre is a circle with a dromedary of course and the text "In oil we trust". The denominations are resp. P$1.000 - 5.000 - 10.000 - 20.000 - 50.000 - 100.000 and P$1.000.000

Instead of Chance and Community Chest cards are here 25 Telex cards with instructions like:

The card "Your political influence has helped to prove your innocence. Keep this card" correspond consequently with "Get out of Jail free". The 2 yellow spaces on the board are:

"Falconry in the desert"
"Missed in the desert"

They have effect on the game.

This set was bought in 1996.

Edition: Anti-Monopoly, ref. 2136/3
            "Das Spiel für freie Marktwirtschaft"
Publisher: ASS - Leinfelden - 1983
Dimensions of the box: 26.4 x 50.2 cm
The game:
Here again the basic idea of the game is to prevent monopoly building of companies in order to maintain the foundation of free economy with its competitors. So the aim is to blow up monopolies, at which the players are Anti-Monopolists.
This version correspond very much with the earlier described "Bust~the~Trust!" Game, ref.212, but still there are some differences, viz.:

Edition: Anti-Monopoly II, ref. 2150/5
            "Das ganz andere Spiel"
Publisher: ASS - Leinfelden - 1984
Dimensions of the box: 26.5 x 50 cm
The game:
The cover says strikingly "This game was invented by Prof.Ralph Anspach and was manufactured by ASS, not by Parker-Brothers!"
Anti-Monopoly II is an improved version of the original game the Atlantic City Quakers ever called monopoly. Prof. Ralph Anspach invented it and prof. Irvin Hentzel did the mathematics.
In this game players follow either the rules for monopoly or those for competition (= Wettbewerb), fixed at the start of the game. Competitors ("Wettbewerber") charge fair rents, build as soon as they own a property, place 4 houses at the most, after which they build a hotel and occasionally go to Price War. On the other hand however "Monopolists" exort monopoly-high rents from their poor tenants, build only after they have at least 2 streets of one color, restrict supply by putting only 3 houses on their properties, after which they also are allowed to build a hotel and occasionally go to prison.

The good guys are the small entrepreneurs and the bad guys are the monopolists. Since players do not play by the same rules, fairness is achieved by a patented technique of equalizing the win probabilities.
Anti-Monopoly II requires more sophistication and strategic thinking than Monopoly because competitors make more money than monopolists in the beginning of the game but monopolists can catch up later, especially if competitors don't watch their money. This eliminates a weakness in the other game where one often knows in the beginning who is going to win, even though the game can drag on for a long time. Rightly this game is for players as from 10 years.

It is a German game with mainly streets from 4 German cities, but also from others countries. The cities are respectively Hamburg, München, Berlin, Paris, Zürich, Wien, London and Frankfurt.
De colors of the streets are from Start: light green, brown, lilac, dark green, blue, purple, light brown and red. 
Electric Works = Eurostrom en Water Works = Eurogas Gesellschaft. 
In the middle of each side of this blue board you'll find respectively Eurotransport Gesellschaft, Europabus Gesellschaft, Euroflug Gesellschaft and Europafracht.
Instead of Chance and Community Chest cards are 25 Wettbewerber and 25 Monopolist cards. In both cases it are numbered, white cards with funny illustrations and texts like: "You have won the lawsuit against a Monopolist. Even after the paying your lawyers terrible high fee, you are still ahead".And for both: "Go to the Reeperbahn".

Unlike the Dutch version of this game (see ref.15880) the currency is not the Euro but undefined. On the properties just houses and hotels are to be built, but the Wettbewerber pays but half the rent.

The tokens are 6 aggravation pawns of wood.

Edition: Bau auf der Schossallee
Publisher: Parker Bros./Kenner Parker - 1985
Dimensions of the box: 26 x 50.6 cm
The game:
The subtitle of this game says "Let's go into the world of high investments and hotel empires" while the "Glückskarten" show an illustration of Uncle Pennybags on the back. This are sufficient reasons to add this game, in 1985 issued by Parker Bros., to the collection of Monopoly like games. 

The idea however differs importantly from Monopoly: The board is oblong: 22.5 x 89 cm and contains 4 colored groups of 5 spaces each, of which the maximum of 4 players have to collect the properties cards. 
The 4 tokens are respectively: Pram - Roller skate - Sail boat and a Moped. 
There are 3 dice, one of them being white and provided with a G (Glück), W (Wunsch) and one of the colors of each of the 4 spaces on the other 4 sides. Furthermore are 80 hotel units, 20 per color of the tokens. Dependent on the number of players each player gets 14 to 20 hotels. He is to build these, subject to the number of pips thrown, on spaces at choice. The Glückskarten (Fortune cards) will help. The token is always put on the space that relates to the total of the property cards the player has in possession. Player can no longer take part when he has no more hotels. Winner is of course the one who finally has most properties.
The cover shows a "years twenties"-like illustration of a hotel entrance with a Rolls Royce-like car. The white bottom of the box shows the long game board in black and white.
The set was manufactured in France.

Identical games are Advance to Boardwalk (USA), Marble Arch (GB) and Ga verder naar Kalverstraat (NL).

The price amounted to DM 35.- (US$ 20.-) in October 1995.

Edition: Anti-Monopoly III, Washington-Moskau
            "Wenn Sie gewinnen, gewinnt der Frieden,
             Wenn alle verlieren, verliert die Welt"
Publisher: ASS - Leinfelden - 1987
Dimensions: 26.5 x 50.2 cm
The game:
Again a different idea of the Anti-Monopoly game that can be played as from 12 years.
The bottom of the box says:

"Prof.Dr.Ralph Anspach, feighter against monopolies and inventor of Anti-Monopoly and Anti-Monopoly II has discovered a new field in which monopolies set the tone:
Today (he poses end of the eighties) the democratic thinking man is faced with nuclear monopolies and arms race. However it is not right to pose that one cannot do something about it. Ralph Anspach has converted his ideas into a game in order to transform that thought. To prevent destruction player has simultaniously to pursue his own targets as well co-operate with the other players to maintain peace! Each of the 2 to 6 players represents a nuclear authority. 

The aim of the game is to maintain world peace and to save earth from falling by a nuclear war. The common target of the players is to prevent the atom bomb. An explosion of the atom bomb is at the end of the "Arms spiral", representing the automatism of the arms race. When the "Bomb" arrives the end of the Arms spiral (in the centre of the game board) world peace is over and everyone has lost! However, if all players work together in such a way that 1 reaches the space "Weltfrienden" (World Peace, right from Start) earlier, then the arms race is over. All players have won and the one who has contributed the most to maintain world peace is declared winner.

The specialty of this game is the constant conflict players are in: each one can pursue his personal selfish target to come to a victory, but this selfishness promotes the arms race. The end is bound to happen. Co-operation is necessary! But how much co-operation and how much selfishness? May only one be selfish or may they all? Experience these conflicts yourself!"

And so you can do on a game board that has no streets. On 3 of the 4 sides of the board you can "turn circles", subject to the instructions you get on the way. If you are having a lucky streak at your turn you may receive many millions of dollars, but if it is going against you you may cause the bomb going 1 or more steps forward! (The cashier also moves the bomb.)
Aktion cards are to be drawn when you land on a similar space. This are a kind of Chance cards. When you land on one of the red Krise spaces you are to open one of your 5 Kooperation cards and next you choose a player of whom you hope he will have an equal card. If that is the case indeed there are 2 possibilities:

1. He is willing to co-operate. In that case both make a profit.

2. He reports he is not willing to give his card and he plays the self-seeker. He earns from otherone's turn and moreover the bomb advances 3 spaces.

However, in case the choosen player does not have the card then there is but 1 possibility:

1. You are to go one step back and to pay a fine of some millions of dollars. Moreover the bomb advances 2 places.

Above each of the 3 first sides of the game board are 3 black dots at a monopoly-space. Just when 3 black "accusation-chips" have been put on these the relevant monopoly has been defeated! When a player lands on such a space while not all 3 accusations have been rewarded, he may do 2 things:

1. He can collect the money he has a right to as a monopolyst. The consequence however is that also the bomb goes forward.

2. He lodges an accusation. To that end he has to buy a chip from the cashier.

If you finally land on the fourth green side of the board the critical phase sets in! Here apply different possibilities:

This intelligent and human game ought to be played World-Wide, but unfortunately it never got the recognition it deserves.

The American version of this game is called Star Peace, anti nuclear war.

Edition: Das kaufmännische Talent
Publisher: Stomo Spiele - Austria - ±1987?
Dimensions of the box: 26 x 50 x 4 cm
The game:
This game is called a European Edition, because the Champs Elysees and the Rue la Fayette stay brotherly next to Oxford Street and Piccadilly, Kurfurstendamm and Potsdammerstrasse. 
In the midfield of the game board are drawn impressions of the cities Hamburg, Paris, Bruxelles, Berlin, Zürich, Wien and München. (In the Europe de Luxe version the cities Hamburg and Berlin are replaced by Frankfurt and London).
Besides these streets are also Plant and Public Transport spaces where freight charges are to be payed. On the 3 corners spaces are resp.: Violation of the Law, 10% Capital levy and Arrest. (So the Jail is at another corner).
The 15 Chance cards and 15 Bank cards are to be put on the centrefield. The money consists of banknotes as well as round, hard plastic coins. There are 6 tokens, 32 houses and 8 hotels.
Remarkable with this game is the cone, a pawn that is to be placed near one of the numbers 1 to 40 along side 1 of the board to count the number of playrounds.

The Rules are as well in German as in French.

Publisher: Uljö Christliche Geschenke - 1990
Dimensions of the box: 37 x 27 x 5.5 cm
            of the board: 49 x 49 cm
The game:
The German manufacturer of this very carefully edited game calls it "a family game with biblical background". Therefore the foreword says " … the game has to contribute to a better understanding and knowledge of the word of God." The meaning of the game: "The Shalom game should bring every individual player closer to the Holy Writ (bible) and so explaining the connection between the Old and New Testament".
Do we compare this game with the well-known Monopoly we'll see interesting differences:

            "Das Spiel aus der luxuriösen Welt der Traumhotels"
Publisher: MB Spiele/Hasbro Deutschland GmbH -1996
Dimensions of the box: 27 x 40 x 9 cm
The game:
The box of this game is rather voluminous because quite a lot of room is necessary for the 8 hotels, the bank building and the town hall. The buildings of hotel President and Fujiyama are already skyscrapers. On the game board a circuit is set having a black edge on each side to put the Entries for the hotels on. Opposite the Bank is a yellow line, where you receive DM 2000.- on passing by. The yellow line opposite the Town Hall entitles to buy Entries. The spaces of the circuit mainly consitst of Purchase and Building Licence spaces. When you land on a Purchase space you are allowed to buy a property adjacent to one of the sides of that space.
On a Building Licence space you are to throw the special die:

Red = you don't get the Licence
Green = you have to build now
H = building is free of charge
2 = building cost twice the normal price

Except a main building you also can enlarge with annexes and "Facilities". The most luxury hotel is finally (!) Waikiki with 4 Extensions and all Facilities, what makes it a 5-star hotel. The simplest hotel is called Boomerang and has besides the main building only Facilities (max. 2 stars).
The 4 players obtain their revenues from the other players the moment they land on a space with an Entry of one of their hotels. To that end the player throws the normal die again. The number of pips = the number of nights he has to stay in the hotel. The price for it depends on the number of stars of the hotel.
The winner finally possesses all hotels.

A very nice game that really do belong to the collection of each Monopoly games collector.

Edition: Star Wars Monopoly, Ref.Nr.40786100
              "Limited Collector's Edition"
Publisher: Parker Bros./Hasbro Deutschland GmbH - 1997
Dimensions of the box: 25.7 x 51.0 x 5.3 cm
The game:
Again a very nice game indeed that gets the mark "Limited Collector's Edition". The co-operation between Parker Bros. and Lucas Film Ltd. arose because of the 20 years anniversary of Star Wars.
The most striking of this game are the 2 kinds of players (the Rebels and Imperials) each having their own Vehicles and Poperties. The rules of play are exactly the same as those of the "normal" game, however the differences are sometimes striking, viz.:

Each token represents a well-known Star Wars character. The Rebel Alliance is represented by: Luke Skywalker, Princes Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and R2-D2. The fighters for the Galactic Empire are: Darth Vader, Boba Fett and the Stormtrooper.
The vehicles of the Rebels are the light gray X-Wing Fighters and Corellian Freighters and those of the Imperials are the dark gray Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers.
The banknotes are in various colors with the value indication on the right side. The text with the illustrations on the banknotes is in Aurebesh!?
The bottom of the box not only shows a clear picture of the game board and attributes, but also a good picture of the tokens: the "Heroes" and the "Villains".

Edition: WM Fussball Edition France 98, Ref.19618D100
Publisher: Parker/ Hasbro Deutschland - 1997
Dimensions: 40 x 27 x 6.5 cm
The game:
This is a box in the colors dark blue, silver and of course red.
The game board spaces can hardly be found on the cover, but so a couple of footballers, eachone in an energic posture but not in a match position. On the bottom of the box is again a clear picture of the game board and its attributes. 
Besides it shows that an inner box as football ground is supplied with the set. It also strikes that the Ereignis and Gemeinschaftskarten are replaced bei Aus and Heimspielkarten, with of course matching texts like "Transfer to Brasil" and "You have missed a penalty. Pay 2000 fine". 
The banker's tray is of soft dark blue plastic and has a special space for the square game board.
 
In this game the properties are of course national football teams, viz. those of the 22 best clubs of the official worldlist as it is composed by the FIFA on the basis of the results of the countries in all worldcup finals since 1930. 
On the game board they are respectively: 

Scotland - Switserland - Romania - Chile - Mexico - Belgium - Austria - Czechoslovakia - The Netherlands - Poland - Hungary - Yougoslavia - France - Sweden - Uruguay - Russia - Spain - England - Argentine - Italy - Germany and Brasil. 

The spaces have the well-known color bars and are furthermore characterized by a T-shirt of the concerning country. The stations are replaced by the 4 most important stadiums of France, viz. Stade Velodrome of Marseille, Stade du Parc de Princes in Paris, Le Stade de France in Saint-Denis and Stade de Gerland of Lyon.
The 2 public utilities are now Electric Works and Softdrink Manufacturer (marked by a red beaker but not of Coca Cola). It is remarkable that one can be sent to jail in this game as well.
The 8 tokens are resp. a shoe, cap, beaker, hamburger, goal, whistle, bal and the (gold colored) FIFA Worldcup Trophy (with the mark "1974 FIFA TM© in the base).

Other differences with the standard Monopoly game are:

Publisher: Parker/Hasbro Inc. - 2001
Dimensions of the box: 6.5 x26.8 x 40.1 cm
The game:
The most significent of this game is its computer that goes with it (however without batteries). The slogan of this Stock Exchange game is: "Buy for as low a price as possible and sell for substantial prices!"
Everything is simplyfied with this computer for the players (every player has his own entrance button). So they can calculate the exchange rate of their shares and store the "Presidencies of their compagnies". 

The properties of this game are international and national compagnies that will differ per country. There has been 22 Ereignis cards replaced by 16 Bear cards and Gemeinschaft by 16 Bull cards.
The values of the banknotes (ref.nr."100 16465 0000 - Monopoly Stock Broker") are a factor M (million) higher and at Los you will receive € 200M. The denominations of these Monopoly banknotes are resp.: 1M - 5M -10M - 20M - 50M - 100M and 500M. 
The 6 tokens are unfortunately the common metal tokens boat - dog - car - hat - shoe and iron.
The grounds are built with 32 dark blue branches and 12 red main settlements.
Both dice are white with black pips.

Edition: Junior standard - German, Ref.Nr. 00441100    
Publisher: Parker Bros./Hasbro - 2001

The game:
Like they did for the 2001 standard edition Hasbro also decided to apply the American reference number 441 for this new 
Junior issue followed by the country number. (The boring uniformity is consequently applied.)

The presentation on the lid of this square box is absolutely dazzling indeed. A well streamlined cart whirrling coming 
down a twisted roller coaster. Did the red cart of the 1996 edition show 4 kids now there are but 3 in a yellow cart. It is also for the first time the red Monopoly-bar-in-relief with Mr. Monopoly (as Uncle Pennybags is called since 2000) with red bow tie appears out the central O.

The Rules haven't of course been changed and the oblong game board has been maintained as well. However, the currency has ofcourse been changed into €uro.

The game:  
This is already a 4^th version of Star Wars and the 2^nd  after a film: Attack of the Clones.

"Rush into the fray to rule over the Galaxy!
In this special edition of Monopoly you take part of the great great war against the Clones yourself. Choose one of the 8 tokens – you decide yourself if you choose for the Dark or Brite side. Follow an intergalactic way over the game board meanwhile collecting as many Republican Credits as possible!
The special "force' die and counters offer an additional challenge  if you have to measure your strength with the other part of the fight for supreme mastery. Do Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda de Jedi je lead to victory? Or will this be the chance the malicious count Dooku and Jango Fett are waiting for so long? The one who knows how to prevent a bankrupcy will finally triumph.
May the Force be with you!"

The Ereignis and Gemeinschafts cards have been replaced by Jedi and Sith cards.
The 8 pewter tokens are: Obi-Wan Kenobi - Anakin Skywalker - Padmé Amidala - Mace Windu - a Clone Trooper of the Brite side - Count Dooku - Jango and a Superfighter droïde of the Dark side.

    Banker who pays the rent for you.
4. When you lands on a property that doesn't yet belongs to someone else while Tinker Bell is there already,
     you'll get the property for free.

Dimensions of the box: 27.0 x 40.2 x 6.5 cm
The game: 
This edition is from the collection of Roland Klose - D.

I assume Parker/Hasbro to be a bit in a rush for one reason or the other at the introduction of their 70^th anniversary edition, because
they are confusingly using a double reference number, meaning they intended from the start to issue 2 different versions.
In this edition the bottom shows this double number 020500114/00402/100, meaning that this part of the box will also be used for the edition with ref.nr. 00114. And indeed both Heute and Banking show the same green game board (although the accompanying texts differ) on the box' bottom.
A rim of the lid however shows the ref.nr. of this issue: 0205.00402/100.
Another slovenliness is the fact that it was forgotten on both "utility cards" to mention the multiplication factor of 10,000 to be applied. The correction was made for those cards in the Banking issue.

The motto for this 70^th anniversary edition was for all countries "How would Monopoly look like should it have been invented today?". 
Some countries used this motto for the title of the edition, like France with "Et si Monopoly était inventé aujourd'hui? (see also chapter www.muurkrant.nl/monopoly/france_-_2005_-_New_streets.htm). Other countries used names identical to this German one like Here and Now in England, Itt és most! in Hungary and different like the Van Dam tot Dom in the Netherlands.

For this version the streets have been substituted by very well-known (large) objects like buildings, stadiums and monuments. The amounts have been made "contemporary" as well. So you will not collect € 200 over Los , but € 2 million instead so a factor 10,000 more. However everything is of course correspondingly more expensive: The buying price for a station became f.e. € 2 million.

For all corresponding editions applies in addition:

The streets and monuments in Heute are all from Berlin and are from Los in order: 

Checkpoint Charlie - Siegessäule - Bahnhof Zoo - Oranienburger Strasse - Simon-Dach-Strasse - Die Hackeschen Höfe - Im Gefängnis - Tiergarten - Sony-Center - Olympiastadion - Strandbad Wannsee - Flughafen Schönefeld - Brandenburger Tor - Gedächtniskirche - Reichstag - Frei Parken - Tränenpalast - Museumsinsel - Berliner Philharmonie - Lehrter Bahnhof - Kollwitzplatz - Gendarmenmarkt - Fernsehturm - Pariser Platz - Gehen Sie in das Gefängnis - Kurfürstendamm - Unter den Linden - Friedrichstrasse - Flughafen Tegel - Kadewe and Schlossstrasse.

In Germany this anniversary edition was introduced as follows:

"With the worldrecord of the largest Monopoly game board ever Parker celebrated Friday, June 17 in the Berliner Friedrich-Jahn-Stadion the start of the anniversary the over-dimensioned way: On 900 m² the Toy Publisher introduced its new Trend Edition Monopoly Heute, that is launched right in time. From the motto „How would Monopoly look like should it have been invented today?“ it hereby goes with modern tokens via Los over nowadays Berlin scenes, stately penhouses and skyscrapers and players do pay close to real purchase prices. Those having luck will win a "Wellness Weekend“ from the Ereignis cards stack or may enjoy a "Salary for a TV appearance “."

 

Edition: Banking - VISA, Ref. 060500114/00402/100
Publisher: Parker/Hasbro - June 2005 
Dimensions of the box: 27.0 x 40.2 x 6.5 cm
The game:
This edition is from the collection of Roland Klose - D.

This edition is basically a copy of Heute, the 70^th anniversary issue with (apart from the date, the first 4 figures) the same double reference number. The date clearly shows this edition was issued 4 months later than the original Heute edition.
Underneath the picture of the wrong, green game board at the bottom side of this box, the right ref. number 0605 00114 100 is given.
The real color of the board is silver glossy.
The red car with Mr. Monopoly at the wheel, only shows the word Monopoly on the licence plate, both on the lid of this edition as well as on the Heute lid. The licence plate of the French game shows MR. M70, meaning "Mr.Monopoly's car on the 70^th birthday of Monopoly".)
Both "utility cards" now mention the necessary multiplication factor of 10,000, see the picture.

Typical for this edition is the card reader. Credit cards replace the banknotes (which can be ordered should you like to have them as yet).
The credit cards shown on the box however, are misleading. It is suggested they are chipcards, which is not true. There is but some rise in the card of each player that is recognized by the card reader. All winnings and spendings are booked per player in the card reader unit.

All other items as tokens, houses and hotels and dice are the same as in the Heute edition.

Edition: Monopoly express, Ref.080542787100
              "Der ganze Monopolyspass in 20 Minuten"
Publisher: Parker/ Hasbro - 2005
Dimensions of the box: diam. 15.5 cm x 4.5 cm
The game:
This edition is owned by Roland Klose - D.

This game is just an other presentation, though a nice one, of the Dice game, like f.e. ref.nr.14087F, issued in 1992 in France and ref.nr.44029 issued in the UK in 1993.

As the subtitle says: The whole Monopoly pleasure can be enjoyed with this game in but 20 minutes. There are 11 dice showing not only figures from 50 to 500 but also locomotives and policemen. 
On your turn, throw all the dice as many times as you wish to get as many "streets" of the same color and so get the highest score you can. However, if you throw all three policemen, your turn ends and you lose all the points for that turn.

This edition, a non regular item of Hasbro, is "Made in China".

The houses and hotels are respectively tribunes and WC Stadiums.

This edition is, as usual, "Made in Ireland".

On the solid board with black back the streets of  8 cities are from Start onwards:   

Rom: Corso Impero - Wettbewerber oder Monopolist - Via Roma - Einkommenssteur (Income Tax)
Berlin: Alexanderplatz - Wettbewerber oder Monopolist - Kurfürstendamm - Potsdammer Straße

Madrid: Plaza Mayor - Elektrizitätswerk (Electric Company) - Gran Via - Paseo de la Castellana
Amsterdam: Dam - Wettbewerber oder Monopolist - Leidsestraat - Kalverstraat

Brüssel: Grote Markt - Hoogstraat - Gaswerk (Gas company) - Nieuwstraat

                                                                                                           London: Park Lane - Piccadilly -Wettbewerber oder Monopolist - Oxford Street
                                                                                                          Athen: Wettbewerber oder Monopolist - La Plaka - Zusatzsteur (Special tax) - Syntagma

The 4 spaces in the middle of each side are respectively: Flughafen - Straßenbahn - Bahnhof and Busbetriebe.
The 3 corner spaces clearly have different meaning for the Monopolists and the Competitors.
Note that this gameboard has the same cities as the French and Dutch edition, whereas that of the Baltic countries have replaced Berlin by their own capital city and Finland even replaced Amsterdam and Madrid by two Finnish cities: Helsinki and Turku.

The bottom part of the box contains a white cardboard insert foulded such a way that a lower part between two platforms can be used as bankers' tray and store for the houses and hotels.
There are no Chance- nor Community Chest cards in this game but  2x25 plain, white cards Monopolist and Wettbewerber instead, all with funny illustrations and always with detailed comment, like:

certain restrictions for this smaller version of the game, except for the tiny game board and the nice tin with its insert of soft, white
