   Edition: November 6, 2000
   Update: April 2, 2009 

DKT,  French edition of an Austrian issue.Edition: DKT - Das kaufmännische Talent
Publisher: Stomo Spiele - Austria - ± 1950
Dimensions of the box: 26.0 x 50.4 x 4.4 cm
The game:
(The year of origin cannot be determined, but judging from the pictures it must have been around 1950.)

This game is a called European 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 gameboard are drawn impressions of the cities Hamburg, Paris, Bruxelles, Berlin, Zurich, Wien and München. (In the Europe De Luxe version the cities Hamburg and Berlin are replaced by Frankfurt and London).
Besides these streets there are also plants and public transport. On the Plants and Public Transport spaces you pay freight charges

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 French as in German.

 

 

The blue box is a feature of the Euro-edition 1991.Edition: European Edition - French
Publisher: Parker/Tonka/Hasbro - 1991
Dimensions of the box: 27 x 27 x 8.4 cm
The game:
There is of course also a French version of this very nice issue! The very carefully performed Rules to this edition says about theEiffeltower, the French token:
"Gustave Eiffel himself called this easily recognizable construction his 300 m high flag pole. It is made of 12,500 pieces of crude iron and 2,500,000 rivets. The opinions about this construction, built in 1889 in honour of the International Exhibition of 1890, were divided. It is said that Verlaine left town to not been forced to see the Eiffeltower! 

The other 11 tokens are:
Blarney Castle (Ireland), Brandenburger Tor (Germany), Abby of Clervaux (Luxemburg), Atomium (Belgium), Parthenon (Greece), La Sagrada Familia (Spain), Grundvig Church (Denmark), Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italy), Torre de Belem (Portugal), Tower of London (England) and of course a windmill for The Netherlands!

The properties are well-known streets in the joining countries, viz.:

Denmark: Strandvejan - Slotsgade

Belgium: Louizalaan - Beenhouwersstraat - Grote Markt

The Netherlands: Coolsingel - Lange Poten - Kalverstraat

Spain: Paseo de la Castellana - Gran Vía -Las Ramblas

Greatt Britain: Oxford St. - Piccadilly - Park Lane

Italy: Via Veneto - Via Condotti - Via Monte-Napoleone

France: Avenue Foch - Avenue des Champs-Elysées - Rue de la Paix

Germany: Königsallee - Kurfürstendamm

The 4 stations are replaced by airports of the countries: Luxemburg - Portugal - Greece and Ireland.

In the period this game was launched on the market it was believed that the European currency would become ECU! That is why there are 7 banknotes with this game, all having the same illustration, in the denominations: 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000 ECU. The back shows ECU in a black circle with 12 stars. Because "investments are internationally done a large amount of money is necessary" and that is why there is twice as much money with this issue. The banker's tray of this game is a black plastic insert with 13 holes.
The backside of as well the Chance- as the Caisse de Communauté cards are blue. In the stars circle is a ? at Chance and at  the Community Chest cards …. a Belgian ECU coin! The houses and hotels are made of glossy wood and do have a roof edge. The dice are blue and their pips are again stars of course. 

This set was made in "Waterford, Republic of Ireland".

 

 

La Guerre des Étoiles - 1996.Edition: Star Wars - La Guerre des Étoiles,
              Édition Limitée, Réf. 40786
Publisher: Parker Bros./Hasbro Inc. - 1996
Dimensions of the box: 25.7 x 51.0 x 5.3 cm
The game:
Indeed again a very beautifull edition with the stamp  "Édition Limitée".
The cooperation between Parker Brothers and Lucasfilm Ltd. arose because of the 20th anniversary of Star Wars! The so-called "limited edition" find expression in the sticker on the gameboard showing both a date and a serial number.
The most striking of this game is the 2 kinds of players (the Rebels and Imperials) each having their own vehicles and locations! The Rules are exactly equal to those of the regular game, the differences however, are striking:

MONOPLY standard

 

STAR WARS MONOPOLY

6 to 10 tokens (hat, car, boat,  etc.)

 

8 tokens: 5 Rebels, 3 Imperials

streets with title deed cards

 

Galaxy properties with property cards

Income Tax and Luxury Tax

 

Docking tax and Bounty

Play money = French francs

 

Play money = Imperial Credits

-

 

5 brass coins of 1000 credits each

Green houses + red hotels

 

2 sets of space vehicles

Chance and Caisse de Communauté cards

 

Imperial and Rebel cards

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 Fighters and Corellian Freighters and those of the  Imperials are the dark grey Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers
The banknotes are in various colors with value-denotation at the right side. The text with the illustrations is in  Aurebesh!? 
The bottom side of the box does not only contain a clear picture of the gameboard and attributes, but also a good picture of the tokens: the "Heroes" and "Villains"!

 

 

World Championship Football in France.Edition: Edition Football France 98, Réf. 19618F
Publisher: Parker/ Hasbro France S.A. - 1997
Dimensions of the box: 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 soccer players, eachone in an energic posture but not in a match position! The lid also contains a hologram sticker with logo France 98. On the bottom of the box is again a clear picture of the game board and its attributes. Besides it shows that an innerbox as soccer ground is supplied with the set!

The bankers 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 soccer 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 - Yugoslavia - France - Sweden - Uruguay - Russia - Spain - England - Argentine - Italy - Germany and Brasil. The spaces have the well-known colored 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 Chance- and Caisse de Communauté spaces are here of course Domicile (=Home) and Extérieur (=Away).
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:

MONOPOLY

 

WC EDITION FOOTBALL

Income tax

 

Transfer costs

Green houses and red hotels

 

Red stands and blue stadiums

Sixsided dice

 

Football dice (all figures double)

The money is Fr francs

 

The money has no value

The price of this set still amounted to Ffr 209.- (= US$ 33.-) in May 1999.

 

 

Star Wars Episode I.Edition: Star Wars - Episode I, Réf. 40787101
              Édition exclusive
Publisher: Parker/Lucasfilm Ltd./Hasbro – 1999
Dimensions of the board: 26.8 x 40.0 x 6.5 cm
The game:
Authorities on this Galaxy event will recognize immediately their heros and villains of the Trade Federation on both the lid and the centre field of the gameboard! Of the 8 pewter tokens (with the mark "© LFL", of Lucasfilm) the 4 heros are Anakin Skywalker, Jar Jar Binks, Qui-Gon Jinn and Queen Amidala and the villains Darth Sidious, a Battle Droid, Darth Maul and Sebulba.
There are no houses nor hotels built on the properties that consist of 28 spaces of the Galaxy, but apartments and towers instead. The apartments are structures of grey plastic, while the towers are monumental buildings of goldbrown plastic. The mortgage side of the property deeds is black.
The Chance- and Caisse de Communauté cards have been replaced by respectively Jedi- and Sith cards with significant (?) texts like:

The Jedi Council Fund expires - You receive # 100.

Your Galactic senatepension takes effect - You receive # 100.

Proceed to Otoh Gunga Gungan Sub – If you pass "Go" you receive # 200.

Buy Droids for all your properties - Pay # 25 for each apartment and # 100 per tower.

The currency of the Galactic money is Galactic Credit. The banknotes are very simple, but there are 5 gold coins (value # 100) as well, printed with "Galactic Republic". The Rules say about them: "... for the collector! Should you wish so they can also be used for larger amounts to pay!!
Both dice are of course black, with white pips. The practical "bankerstray" is also of black plastic.

 

 

Euro Monopoly 1999.Edition: Monopoly EURO, Réf. 05597
Publisher: Parker/Hasbro  - 1999
Dimensions of the box: 27.0 x 40.2 x 6.5 cm
The game:
Of course Parker/ Hasbro took the opportunity of the introduction of the Euro to issue a special edition again. Was there in 1991 talk of but 12 countries of the European Community (see the description of the game in the "blue box"), now 15 countries belong to the European Union and 7 countries will join in the years to come. The makers of this game already anticipated by situating these countries at the beginning of the game. The most expensive properties are the capital cities of the countries who were first to become member. Groups who became member together are partitioned to the size of their capital population.
The capital cities and countries are from Départ on:

Vilnius (Lithuania) – Riga (Latvia) – Sofia (Bulgaria) – Bukarest (Romania) – Warsaw (Poland) – Budapest (Hungaria) – Genève (Switserland) – Helsinki (Finland) – Stockholm (Sweden) – Vienna (Austria) – Lisbon (Portugal) – Madrid (Spain) – Athens (Greece) – Dublin (Ireland) –Copenhagen (Danmark) – London (United Kingdom) – Luxemburg (Luxemburg) – Brussels (Belgium) – Amsterdam (The Netherlands) – Rome (Italy) – Berlin (Germany) and Paris (France).
The 4 stations became the 4 busiest airports of Europe, namely Schiphol (Amsterdam) – Rhein-Main (Frankfurt) – Paris Charles de Gaulle and London Heathrow. Both utilities became: the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice.

It is a pitty that there are but 8 tokens this time, a very limited choice out of 22 countries! Seven of these tokens are the same as those of the 1991 edition. Only the Atomium from Belgium has been replaced by Manneke Pis! And why are these pewter tokens not as nicely gilded? The carefully edited booklet of the Rules give a detailed explanation of these tokens.
The 7 different banknotes are nice copies of the real €-notes. De € 1's are gold and silver colored (plastic) coins. On or over Départ you receive € 200. There is no explanation given why the plastic houses with roof edge and chimney are dark blue now and the hotels gold brown. Both the dice are dark blue with gold pips.
Worthy mentioning is the fact that the lid now shows a part of the GO-space with a part of the first and fourth side in perspective. That is remarkable because this same presentation is also applied by all City Games of Winning Moves Int. who are issued in the UK, Germany and France since 1998! The bottom of the box shows again a nice color picture of the gameboard with all its attributes.

It is obvious to put the differences and similarities with the European Edition of 1991 on a row:

Monopoly Euro 1999

Monopoly European Edition 1991

folded twice gameboard in a rectangular box

folded twice gameboard in square box

properties are capital cities of 22 countries

Eight Top Clubs on the Monopoly board!Edition: Monopoly  Football Top Clubs, Réf. 06041101
Publisher:Parker/Hasbro - Dec. 1999
Dimensions of the box: 27 x 40 x 6.5 cm
The game:
Unlike the soccer game  of 1997 in this edition only French clubs are at stake. Each of the 8 top clubs of which the lid and the centre field of the gameboard show their logo has 2 or 3 spaces of one color being divided into:

1. Bureau du Conseil (Board of Directors)
2. Club house
3. Vestiaire (changing room)

From Départ on the properties are:
A.J Auxerre club house -  A.J Auxerre vestiaire - Indemnités de transfert  -Tribune Sud - Strasbourg Bureau du Conseil - Strasbourg club house - Strasbourg vestiaire - En Prison - Girondins de Bordeaux Bureau du Conseil - Abonnement - Girondins de Bordeaux club house - Girondins de Bordeaux vestiaire - Tribune Ouest - R.c Lens Bureau du Conseil - R.c Lens club house - R.c Lens vestiaire - Parc Gratuit - Paris Saint Germain Bureau du Conseil - Paris Saint Germain club house - Paris Saint Germain vestiaire - Tribune Nord - Olympique Lyonnais Bureau du Conseil - Olympique Lyonnais club house - Billetterie (ticket sales) - Olympique Lyonnais vestiaire - Allez en Prison - Nantes Bureau du Conseil - Nantes club house - Nantes vestiaire - Tribune Est -Olympique de Marseille club house - Droits TV (TV rights) and Olympique de Marseille vestiaire.

Of course the Chance- and Caisse de Communauté spaces are here again Domicile (Home) and  Extérieur (Away). It is remarkable that even in such a soccer game the 4 "holy corners" remain unchanged, so the same as in the standard game!
The 8 tokens are resp. the Eiffeltower - a football - a whistle - a referee - a goal - a football shoe -   
a keeper and a field player. The nice  banknotes show a football at the right and football players at the left side. The banker's tray is made of dark blue plastic. The houses and hotels became resp. benches and  stadiums.
Both dice are white with red print and have the shape of a football.

 


Pokémon also as a Monopoly game!Edition: Monopoly  Pokémon, Réf. 040041357101
              "Attrapez-les tous!"                    
Publisher:Parker/Hasbro/Nintendo - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 26.9 x 40.3 x 6.7 cm
The game:
Of course the origin of this specialty edition is in America. However, because Pokémon is a rage in France a French version is issued as well.
Easy to understand that there are no terms unknown for Pokémon freaks, however for an uncomplicated  Monopolist it looks interesting but names means nothing to him.  A grandson and authority of this phenomenon however, explained to me:
The World of Pokémon exsists of Gym's ("groups" with us) being situated in 21 cities, forests, islands etc.. The board's midfield shows this World almost completely.

(The computer game starts at Pallet Town (on the board close to the space #145 Zapdos). From there the play direction is via Viridian City - Viridian Forest - Pewter City - Mt.Moon Cerulean City (unvisible under LY) - Sea Cottage (on the peninsula) - Rock Tunnel  with the Power Plant - Lavender Town (= the minaret on the T-crossing) - Diglett's Cave (= the boulder under ALL!) to Fuchsia City and Safari Zone (mid under).  The island with pointed mountain is called Cinnaber Island and the other two next to it  Seafoam Island.)

The Gym's are managed by Trainers. Each Trainer has a preference for a Pokémon type(with us the  "streets"), versatile intelligent creatures who basically don't like to be possessed. The Pokémon are divided into15 types, identifiable by the vignette before the price. On the gameboard was choosen for resp.: Boulder - Water - Electric - Grass - Psychic - Poison - Fire and Earth. From Départ on the properties are:

Brock's Gym: #74 Geodude - #95 Onix
Misty's Gym: #120 Staryu - #121 Starmie - #116 Horsea
Lt. Surge's Gym: #100 Voltorb - #125 Electabuzz - #26 Raichu
Erika's Gym: #71 Victreebel - #114 Tangela - #45 Vileplume
Sabrina's Gym: #64 Kadabra - #122 Mr. Mime - #49 Venomoth
Koga's Gym: #109 Koffing - #89 Muk - #110 Weezing
Blaine's Gym: #58 Growlithe - #77 Ponyta - #78 Rapidash
Giovanni's Gym: #31 Nidoqueen - #34 Nidoking

Instead of stations are 4 Poké-balls (by which Pokémon can be catched!): Poké Ball - Great Ball - Ultra Ball and Master Ball.

Professor Oak and Trainer Battle cards do replace the Chance and Caisse de Communauté cards. The 6 tokens are well-known creatures of this world, viz. #04 Charmander, #25 Pikachu, #35 Clefairy, #150 Mewtwo, #01 Bulbasaur and #09 Blastoise. They are packed extra in a  moulded holder of black plastic. The Poké-money consits of 7 different banknotes the denominations of which are: 1 (white) - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 100 and 500. Strangely enough the banker's tray has but 5 holes!
Instead of houses and hotels there are  light blue, square, stackable Poké Centers and red, rectangular, non-stackable Poké Marts, all made of transparent plastic. The  dice are white with black pips.
To make this issue of Monopoly  more like the Pokémon computer game additional rules are added, the  Pokémon Power Doubles. If you through doubles, you may choose for to throw the dice again (as in the standard game) or to use a Pokémon Power based on your doubles roll. It's value is given in a chart  in the Rules.

Edition: Anti-Monopoly® - French edition, Ref. 08510
             "Le grand jeu immobilier du 21ème siècle"
Publisher:University Games Europe B.V.-NL - 2006
Dimensions of the box: 26.8 x 40.2 cm
The game:
On the bottom of the box is, next to a color picture of the game, a short explanation of the origin of the game and how to play it. 
The translation reads:

"An update of the "monopoly" folk game  invented by Elizabeth Magie a 100 years ago. The world-famous game based on our 
capitalistic society where private entrepreneurs struggle for profit. 
The same applies for Anti-Monopoly®. Here players also fight to become the richest real estate and landowner. To attain this 
objective, players always struggle for more power and eliminate their competitors merciless - not exactly like in real life where 
this is tried to prevent.
There competition looks after a functioning market with fair prices.
In Anti-Monopoly® players are divided into two groups: competitors and monopolists. They follow different rules as a result of 
what the game becomes more dynamic and and richer in variation."

Ralph Anspach is a Professor Emeritus of Economics at San Francisco State University who invented this Anti-Monopoly game. He based his creation on the monopoly folkgame  which was invented by Elizabeth Magie in 1904 and was played extensively in the Eastern United States between 1904 and 1935. Players in the monopoly folkgame buy and trade properties to monopolize color groupings.His game transforms the folk game into a battle between competitors and monopolists and it retains the antimonopoly message of the creators of monopoly. Quaker teachers (members of the Society of Friends in Atlantic City, N.J.) transformed the folkgame into what is now played as Monopoly.
Charles B. Darrow stole the knowledge of the game and its rules from these Quakers,  commercialized it, and falsely claimed that he had invented it to get an invention patent. He licensed it to Parker Brothers which popularized the legend of Darrow the Inventor.. .
Ralph Anspach discovered the truth about the history of Monopoly when he became a defendant in a ten-year long law suit filed by Parker Brothers. He eventually won that law suit, read his book "Monopolygate".  

Anti-Monopoly®'s specialty is, as said,  its principle players have to choose between 2 play methods: that of the Monopolists and the Competitors. However, which part you will prefer, all players have equal chances to win, although they play according to different Rules. So Monopolists for example, can only build houses and hotels when they have a monopoly position in a town (what is the case already when the player owns 2 of 3 streets), while Competitors may build on each property, independent of they own a whole city or one single street.

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

Paris op het Anti-Monopoly bord van 2006.Rome: Corso Impero - Concurrent ou Monopoliste - Via Roma - Impôts sur les revenu (Income Tax)
Berlin: Alexanderplatz - Concurrent ou Monopoliste - Kurfürstendamm - Potsdammer Straße
Simple visite/Guerre des prix(price war)/Prison (Jail)
Madrid: Plaza Mayor - Compagnie de distribution d'électricité (Electric Comp.) - Gran Via - Paseo de 
la Castellana
Amsterdam: Dam - Concurrent ou Monopoliste - Leidsestraat - Kalverstraat
Anti-Monopoly Stiftung (Anti-Monopoly foundation)
Paris: Rue la Fayette -Concurrent ou Monopoliste - Rue de la Paix - Champs-Élysées
Bruxelles: Grand Place - Rue Haute - Société du Gaz (Gas company) - Rue Neuve
Monopoliste: Allez en prison (Monopolist: Go to Jail) /
                                               
                                                                                        
Concurrent:
Rendez-vous à la Guerre des Prix (Competitor: Go to the price war)
                                                                                                          Londres: Park Lane - Piccadilly -Concurrent ou Monopoliste - Oxford Street
                                                                                                          Athènes: Concurrent ou Monopoliste - La Plaka - Impôt supplémentaire (Special tax) - Syntagma

The 4 spaces in the middle of each side are respectivily: l'Aéroport - Compagnie de trams - Gare and Société de cars.
The 3 corner spaces clearly have different meaning for the Monopolists and the Competitors.
Note that this gameboard has the same cities as the German 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 Monopoliste and Concurrent instead, all with funny illustrations and always with detailed comment, like:
On the Concurrent cards:

Le gouvernement surveille de très près les entreprises qui transgressent les lois anti-monopoles. Vous avez tout à y gagner!
CHAQUE MONOPOLISTE VOUS VERSE € 25. = 
The Government closely see  the Antitrust Laws to be obeyd. That is to your advantage. COLLECT € 25  FROM EACH MONOPOLIST.
Vous démarrez une nouvelle entreprise. LANCEZ LES DÉS. 9 points ou moins votre entreprise n'a décidément PAS D'AVENIR. 10 points
ou plus vous alleze faire un TABAC, LA BANQUE VOUS VERSE € 75. = 
You are starting a new company. THROW THE DICE. If you get a 9 or less IT FAILS. 10 or more: the company is successfully. THE BANK PAYS YOU € 75.
Les monopolistes ont augmenté le prix des carburants. Vous en supportez vous aussi les conséquences, mais la concurrence qui fait rage vous
empêche pratiquer cette augmentation des prix. Votre chiffre d'affaires est en baisse. PAYEZ  € 50 à la banque.=
The Monopolists have jacked up the price of gas. Competition does not allow price increases. Your turnover falls. PAY the bank € 50 .

On the Monopoliste cards:A Monopolist card.

Vos arrosages politiques ont porté leurs fruits: les contrôles de pollution de l'air ont enfin été supprimés.
LA BANQUE VOUS VERSE  € 75. = 
Your political contribution was not forgotten. The smoke pollution controls, which cut down on your profits have 
been abolished. THE BANK PAYS YOU € 75.

De mystérieuses magouilles vous ont permis d'emporter un contrat juteux. Lancez les dés pour voir si vous conservez 
votre contrat. 7 points ou moins ADIEU LE CONTRAT! 8 points ou plus ÇA ROULE! LA BANQUE VOUS VERSE  € 75.=
Through a shady deal, you landed a big contract. To see whether your deal will go through, roll the dice. If you 
get 7 or less NO DEAL, 8 or more IT SUCCEEDED! THE BANK PAYS YOU € 75.
Vous avez partiellement financé la campagne électorale d'un ministre et - manque de bol - la presse en a eu vent. 
PAYEZ € 50 à la banque. =
You made an illegal campaign contribution to a senator. The press got wind of it.  PAY THE BANK € 50.

It is of course also necessary the two types of players to be taken into account of on the property deeds. That is why they have 2 columns for the prices: at the left for the Concurrent and at the right side those for the Monopoliste. The back side of the cards is also to show the property to be mortgaged. In this situation the card  must be given the bank, however, the owner can any moment buy it back from the bank. This is also said on the back side of the cards.
There are only 6 banknotes, printed in grey on colored paper, in the denominations: 1 - 5 - 10 - 50 - 100 and 500. It is not clear why the Rules say in bold "all banknotes have to be multiplied by 1000". This is of no importance for the course of the game!

There are only 6 plastic tokens, viz. of each a green and blue one: cone, pyramid and a pawn like a "cilinder with sphere".
The set goes with 35 houses and 15 hotels  of plastic, with roof rim and chimney. (Note: The Concurrents must place their houses and/or hotels on the name of the field, while the Monopolistes must situate them on the "H"-spot.)
Both dice are white with black pips.

The first version of this 21st edition was published in 2005 in the USA, soon followed by that of many European countries.

This edition was "Made in Spain".

The price of this edition was at the introduction € 19.95.

 

 

French Anti-Monopoly in a tin, 08852.Edition: Anti-Monopoly® - Travel edition in a tin - French edition, Ref. 08852
             "Le jeu immobilier du 21ème siècle"
Publisher:University Games Europe B.V.-NL - 2009
Dimensions of the tin: 11.5 x 19.2 cm
of the little board: 18.0 x 18.0 cm
The game:
It will not be too great a surprise that this travel edition is almost an exact copy of that of the "long box".  But there must of course 
be 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 plastic. Well, there are, viz.:

The property deeds are smaller: 35 x 60 mm
There are no Concurrent, nor Monopoliste cards, but one small card with 11 instructions for both kind of players. And 
this is the most drastic change, because all stories and funny illustrations that go with the instructions disappeared. The blue  
side of the card only very resticted instructions for the Monopolists, while the dark green side shows what the Wettbewerber 
have to pay or do receive.  
The banknotes are miniatures (25x45 mm) of those of the long box.
The 6 smaller, wooden tokens are also in green and blue, but now resp. a cone - beam and cylinder.
The 35 houses and 15 hotels (note that the colors has been changed) are punched from a small block of foam plastic.
The dice are those of the large edition.
The Rules are on 4 pages of A6-size.
