After the very roaring period between 1945 till 1991 with many infightings the Croatian government finally declared independence from Yugoslavia on June 25, 1991.  The Croatian Parliament cut all remaining ties with Yugoslavia on October 8, 1991.

As from 1994 the Parker Brothers' Monopoly game is available in Croatia. The streets and stations are those of the capital city Zagreb. 
Presumably the first Monopoly-like games of inland make were introduced some 10 years earlier, meaning they came but 50 years after the American invention of the game.

Edition: Monopolly
Publisher: Biserka - Zagreb - ±1985
Dimensions of the board: 25.7 x 25.7 cm
The game:
Although this set was emitted in the age that Croatia was still one of the federal states of Great Yugoslavia (1945-1991), I do consider it as a Croatian game because it was made in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
The instructions are in 3 languages, viz.: Croatian, Slovenian and Hungarian. However, for the rest the game in only in Croatian.
At the sight of this set immediately a few things on the set do attract attention:

1. The game is called Monopolly with double L, while the rules say Monopoli.
2. It looks like the Parker Brothers version as it was manufactured in the sixties in France, i.e. with the game board on the lid in a green and blue square with a red bar passing through. 
   But there is nothing that indicates the game was made in France.
3. There are no colorbars on the properties; the whole space is colored.
4. The word Monopoly on the green midfield goes parallel to the 3^rd side.

The game board is of soft cardboard and the division is according to the well-known pattern but the colors of the streets differ. 
The properties are streets named after European cities and mountains.

From Start on the properties are:

Apeninski Put - Balkanski Put - Juzna Zeljeznicka Stanica - Atlanska Obala - Kelnska ulica - Briselska ulica - Zatvor (Jail) - Atenska ulica - Elektra - Madridski Bulevar - Pariski Trg - Zapadna Zeljeznicka Stanica - Vecijanska ulica - Milanski Bulevar - Rimski Trg - Parkiraliste besplatno - Trscanska ulica - Cirski Bulevar - Londonski Trg - Sjeverna Zeljeznicka Stanica - Minhenska ulica - Hamburski Bulevar - Vodovod - Berlinski Trg - U Zatvor  - Varsavska ulica - Praski Bulevar - Becki Trg - Istocna Zeljeznicka Stanica - Azurna Obala and Zenevski Trg.

Over Start you collect 20,000 Dinar. 
The Sansa cards stack is next to the Start corner. The spaces are indicated by the opened blue treasure chest, while the Iznenadenja (Surpise) cards are indicated by the ?.
The banknotes are of plain, white paper with a neutral, colored print of its denomination.
There are 6 plastic pawns as tokens. The green houses and red hotels are of dull plastic and do have overhanging roofs (without chimney).
There is one red and one blue die.

This set was bought in December 1989.

Edition: Monopoly, Art. 20760 (1)
Publisher: Biserka - Zagreb - beyond 1991
Dimensions of the board: 26 x 26 cm
The game:
This version is obviously the modern issue of Monopolly after the separation of Croatia from Great Yugoslavia. It is designed by "Signal - TISAK Kastmüller" and so the glossy box is very colorfull, with a picture of the board surrounded by floating attributes, like lamp bulb, house and hotel and 3 tokens.
The Rules, which are printed on the bottom of the box, are now only in Croatian. Another copy of this version also has a German Rules pamflet showing the mention "Copyright 1936, 1946, 1961, 1981 by Parker Brothers Inc. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. Alleinhersteller für Österreich: Piatnik Wien. Ges. gesch."
However, I believe it to be very unlikely Piatnik made this Croatian game for Biserka. It is even more likely these German Rules not belonging to this set!

The division of the soft, grey game board is almost identical to that of Monopolly but of a much more modern design. A few exceptions are:

From Start onwards all properties are:

Apeninski Put - Balkanski Put - Juzna Stanica - Atlanska Obala - Kelnska ulica - Briselska ulica - Zatvor - Atenska ulica - Elektra - Madridska avenija - Pariski Trg - Zapadna Stanica - Vecijanska ulica - Milanski avenija - Rimski Trg - Parkiraliste besplatno - Trscanska ulica - Cirska avenija - Londonski Trg - Sjeverna Stanica - Minhenska ulica - Hamburska avenija - Vodovod - Berlinski Trg - U Zatvor  - Varsavska ulica - Praska avenija - Becki Trg - Istocna Stanica - Azurna Obala and Zenevski Trg.

In the innerbox is a "bankers tray" of transparent plastic with 9 holes for the attributes.
Strangely enough the property deeds (55x65 mm) are still printed on the same old, solid paper with grey back as before.
Vreemd genoeg zijn de eigendomsbewijzen (55x65 mm) nog op hetzelfde oude, stevige papier met grijze rug gedrukt als voorheen. 
The money consist again of (more modern) banknotes (45x86 mm) with only 4 denominations, viz.: blue = 100, green = 1000, brown = 10,000 and red = 50,000 Kuna. Depending on the number of players each player receives more or less initial capital.
The hollow, plastic houses and hotels, but the 6 tokens (pawns) as well are so identical to those of the old game that it seems, however, there still was a large stock of them.
Both dice are black and have white pips.

This set was purchased in July 1993.

Dimensions of the box: 26 x 26 cm
The game:
Very remarkable and unexpected. This version of Art.20760 has a entirely new city map with streets of the capital city Zagreb. It seems  that Parker Brothers have started in the early nineties laying contacts in Croatia, considering Biserka began to publish under the same article number a much more on the Parker Brothers design resembling game board.
It was also designed by another company because on the rim of the lid stands "Podion Design Studio - Tisak Cicero". 

From Start onwards all spaces are:
Zagrebacka ulica - Sansa - Varazdinska ulica - Porez 20000 - Juzna Stanica - Istarska ulica - Iznenadenje - Karlovacka ulica - Petrinjska ulica - Prolaz/Zatvor - Senjska ulica - Elektra - Rijecka ulica - Osjecka ulica - Zapadna Stanica - Zadarska ulica - Sansa - Splitska ulica - Sibenska ulica - Parkiraliste besplatno - Slavonska avenija - Iznenadenje - Dubrovacka avenija - Avenija Grada Vukovara - Sjeverna Stanica - Trg Hrvatskih Velikana - Trg Subica Zrinskog - Vodovod - Trg Stjepana Radica - U zatvor - Trg Kralja Petra Kresimira IV - Trg Kralja Zvonimira - Sansa - Trg Marka Marulica - Istocna Stanica - Iznenadenje - Trg Marina Drzica - Porez na Luksus 10000 and Trg Bana Josipa Jelacica.          

In the innerbox is a banker's tray of transparent plastic again, having 9 holes for the attributes. The bottom is unwritten. This time the Rules have been printed on the inside of the lid.

                  of the board: 25.2 x 25.2 cm

In the second half of the nineties Parker/Tonka/Hasbro has with great energy introduced this uniform edition on the market, showing the last part of the 4^th side of the game board. The white dice show a 3 and 5.

In this "standard" box is of course the red plastic "bankers tray" with holes for the 7 banknotes and property deeds still present with the banker.
The game board is folded in four and fits, when stored, precisely on the bankers tray. The back of the board is as usual red, the playside is blue green. This edition also shows a picture of "the laughing family" at the bottom of the box. However it is an other family.

Edition: Star Wars, Collector's Edition, ref. 40786102
Publisher: Waddington/Hasbro Inc. - 1997
Dimensions of the board: 26.8 x 40.3 x 5.3 cm
The game:
This version of Star Wars has the same ref. number as the American one, but because it comes from the Irish works it has the new standard length and width dimensions of all Hasbro games, as a result of which it is almost 11 cm shorter. Also striking is the fact that this set does not has Croatian instructions but only (not luxury) English of Waddington.

Although the game is of course the same there are however a number of great diffences in execution between the American and this English version. So are the colors of the fields of Dagobah and Hoth resp. dark purple and light blue on the American board and mahogany and dark blue on the English board. The 8 pewter tokens come from the same manufacturer which appears from stamp in the base "©1996 LFL". Each token is a well-known character from Star Wars. The Rebel Alliance consists of 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 used by the Rebels are light grey X-wing Fighsters and Corellian Freighters and those of the Imperials are the dark grey Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers.

Differences and similarities between the standard Monopoly-set and Star Wars in Parker Brothers (Collector's Limited) edition and Waddingtons (Collector's) edition are:

The price of this set amounted to Kn 400.- (€ 59,-) in June 1998.
