Before
Parker Brothers/Hasbro marketed their Monopoly edition (viz. the
Atlantic City version in the Spanish language) people played a great variety of
inland made Turista
editions.
The general idea of these games is to be tourist travelling around Mexico or the world.
(It turns out monopoly-like games of inland make to be in a
number of countries all over the world, mostly better known than the Parker
Brothers/Hasbro edition, also available since second half of the 20th century,
next to the inland versions. Except for Mexico the countries are:
* Argentina: Estanciero |
* Hungary: Capitaly |
* Austria: Das Kaufmännische Talent DKT |
* Norway: Millionær |
* Brasil: |
* Russia: Manager |
* Denmark: Matador |
* Spain: El Palé) |
Since 1985 Parker Brothers/Hasbro also launched their Mexican edition with
streets of the capital México-City.

Edition:
Turista Nacíonal
Publisher:Birján - México - after 1960
Dimensions of the box: 33.4x17x3.4 cm
The game:
Birján seems to be the leading company to manufacture Turista games since 1960.
This National Edition is likely of much recent date.
As can be assumed this version concerns the "most scenic places of Mexico". The sizes of the box
show the gameboard to be very small
compared to the Monopoly board. The picture shows:
 | the 6 tokens to be aeroplanes. |
 | the banknotes are in but 4 denominations. |
Because of the presence of black and white chips the conclusion is
justifiable the back side of the game board to be a checkerboard.
Edition:
El Turista Anahuac, Ref. 106
Publisher:Birján - México - after 1960
Dimensions of the box: 33.4x17x3.4 cm
The game:
Unfortunately I don't know none of the Turista editions shown. However, I believe
it is better to show at least the pictures I found on Birján's website than
neglecting them.
I assume Anahuac to be a Mexican
province or a city? In that case this edition can be considered to be a City
Game.
In this edition the red pieces are gasolinerias
(petrol stations) and the yellow
buildings Hoteles (hotels). The 6 tokens are
the usual aeroplanes.
Edition: Turista
Mexicano, Ref. 121
Publisher: Birján - México - after 1960
Dimensions of the box: 52x26.3x3.5 cm
The game:
It is funny the picture shows the checkerboard at the back side of the game
board, whereas the main game is Turista.
The sizes of this game board are a bit larger than of the earlier
mentioned editions and correspond to those of the regular Monopoly boards.
The properties of this edition seem to be of Mexican provinces.
Edition: Turista
Internacional, Ref. 262
Publisher: Birján - México - after 1960
Dimensions of the box: 52x26.3x.3.5 cm
The game:
I have no idea what the difference of this Internacional edition can be compared
to the Mundial Grande issue of the same publisher.
Anyhow, it is a different design so an interesting item for every serious
collector.
In case you, reader of this page, do have such a set, please send me the details
so I can make it public at this place.
Edition:
Petropolis, in green leatherette case
© 1975 By Petropolis Inc.
Inventor: Baron Arnaud de Rosnay
-1975
Publisher: Casa Aries -
México
Dimensions of the case: 52.5 x 34 x 6.5 cm
The game:
In the French site of the late inventor (he disappeared while sailing from China
to Taiwan November 1984) this is said about the game: "Pétropolis is a
party game like Monopoly, based on oil business. This game met a great succes in
the Persian Gulf states and Asia, probably because it is based on the power of
these countries opposed to the Great Powers Europe and North America."
Baron de Rosnay was a young and very wealthy Frenchman, who mixed very well with the
richests of earth, while he was a worldwide respected windsurfer as well.
A collector in Alaska happens to possess number 195 of this green
case edition of the game of wealth destined for the wealthy.
The game and the content of the case is precisely the same as described below
except for its green color and that of the
Rules' cover. Moreover the Rules booklet proves Arnaud knew the world of Oil
Tycoons very well and he liked to please many of them by granting them this super
luxury edition.
The leatherette instruction booklet has 9 Oil Tycoons listed with photos:
Sa Majesté le Roi KHALED BEN ABDEL AZIZ
S.A.I. Shah Mohammed Reza PAHLAVI
S.A.R. Prince FAHD BEN ABDEL AZIZ
S.A. Cheikh SABAH AL SALIM AL SABAH
S.A. Cheikh ZAYED bin SULTAN AL-NAHAYAN
S.A. Cheikh RASHID bin SAID AL MAKTOUM
S.A. Cheikh SULTAN bin MOHAMMED AL QASIMI
S.A. Cheikh KHALIFA bin HAMAD AL THANI
S.A. Cheikh ISA bin SULMAN KHALIFA
After these pictures is a photo of some oil well with two sheikhs unidentified.
The end of the Rules gives the list of games given out. It Reads:
Petropolis will be sent as a present on June 1st to the
rulers of these countries:

Arabia)

Although the whole Rules are written in English the above mentioned lists are in
French.
It is understandable in such a society the banknotes to bear the slogan "In oil we trust"!
The final page has a picture of Baron de Rosnay with some Arab sheikhs.
January 2007 Bruce Michael Paine (actor,
vocalist, composer, producer) from Venice Beach - California told me:
"I recently found a copy of Petropolis in a thrift shop in Los Angeles.
It's very lavish as far as the board & pieces and has a letter that may have
some bearing as to whom the owner may have been. This letter was signed by the
inventor Arnoud himself on June 9th, so very short after he had sent his
editions to the potentates. I also found the pictures of the sheikhs you refered to in your site. This green case
has the number 0033!"
Edition:
Petropolis, in black leatherette case
© 1975 By Petropolis Inc.
Publisher: Casa Aries - México - 1975
Dimensions of the case: 52.5 x 34 x 6.5 cm
The game:
This fabulous nice black heavy case contains a very luxury version of two
games: Petropolis and Backgammon together. Both games are on
a side of the game board consisting of 2 parts composed of layers the outer ones
being black plastic. Each one has a little flap to get it out the inner
side of lid. Only the Petropolis-board has a little goldy logo of Aries and the
words "Hecho en Mexico"(made
in Mexico).
I will here only pay attention to Petropolis.
The aim of this game is to collect as
many oilconsessions as possible and to obtain the highest possible profit
from the oil producing countries. The start is called Take off/Landing (Geneva Airport)
and is in the midfield of the game board. The game goes counter-clockwise. There
are 27 countries
and their spaces almost fill up the whole game board. Each country has 1
oilconsession to give away. From Geneva Airport on the spaces are:
Venezuela - Argentina
- Ecuador - USA
- Canada -Telex - Mexico -
Go To International Court - Refuel/Pay
$ 100,000 - Indonesia - Brunei
Malaysia - Australia - China
- USSR - Norway - Telex -
OPEC meeting - Libya - Algeria
- Nigeria - Gabon -
Falconing in the desert
- International Court - Telex -
Iraq -Kuwait
- Egypt - Sjarjah
- Dubai - Abu Dhabi - Throw Dice Again - Go To International Court -
Oman -Telex - Bahrein
- Qatar - Iran
- Lost in the dessert
and Saudi
Arabia.
Subject to the number of players the consessions are to be distributed
amongst them at the start of the game; the remainder must be bought.
The
oiltycoons always move over the board by plane. Over or on TAKE OFF you
receive P$ 500,000 (Petrodollars).
There are 7 molded "gold" tokens representing an airplane -
tanker - dagger - gas - bar of gold -
barrel and an
oil storage tank.
They are stored in a black vinyl pouch wilth "gold"
draw-strings. The course of the game is divided into 3 stages:
- Stage 1: The opening, playtime 10 minutes. In this stage those
oilconsessions who were not distributed amongst the players in the first
instance must be bought from the Worldbank now.
- Stage 2: Trade and auction, playtime 5 - 10 minutes. The still unsold
oilconsessions must be sold or auctioned anyhow. Next the players can trade
together in order to complete color groups.
- Stage 3: Main match, playtime 60 minutes. The oiltycoons can now open up
their properties by building drilling-rigs (instead of houses) and
finally oil-rigs (instead of hotels). For the rest the game works out
according to the usual rules.
The money consists of plasticized Petrodollar banknotes (62x105 mm)
of the Worldbank. In the centre is a
circle with a dromedary and on top of that the fine words "In oil we trust".
The 7 notes are in the denominations of P$1,000 -
5,000 -10,000 -
20,000 - 50,000 -
100,000 and 1,000,000.
Instead of Chance and Community Chest cards there are 25 black Telex cards (75x123 mm)
printed in gold. The instructions are like:
 | The radar of your private jet is out of order. You miss a turn. |
 | You must appear in front of the Tribunal of The Hague - President of the
Tribunal. |
 | Heavy storm: important repairs on all the oil-rigs - Pay P$ 100,000 for
each one. |
The card "Your political influence has helped to prove your innocence.
Keep this telex - President of the Tribunal." correspond consequently with
"Get out of Jail free".
There are 2 dark green and 2 ambery
dice with white pips. They must be thrown with the solid black
felt lined shaker.
Although the texts of the Telex cards as well as of the property deeds are in
English, the Rules are in Spanish only. The Rules booklet also says
"Aries - Fabrica Petropolis para todo el mundo" (Aries
-
makes Petropolis for the whole world).

The railroad stations are "replaced" by airlines, whereas Electric Company and Water Works became Consulado
and Embajada.
Again the back side of the rather small game board is a checkers board with black and white

The game:
It is really a pitty that I'm not able to tell more about this edition and I

Edition: Turista
Mundial, Ref. 43061
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Juguetibici - México - ±1998
Dimensions of the box: 47 x 24 x 3 cm
The game:
Another Turista Mundial however with a small red
Monopoly bar as well as the Parker Brothers logo in the lower right
corner of the lid. This indicates a kind of cooperation between Parker Brothers
and Juguetibici.
The Salida start space shows a cream-colored
arrow, pointing counter-clockwise as well as a statue and the national colors. The properties on the game board are, counter-clockwise
divided over 4 continents, resp. showing the flags of the
countries:
- America: Argentine - Brasil
- Colombia - Puerto
Rico - United States - Canada
- Africa: Marocco - Saudi
Arabia - Egypt - Ethiopia
- Cameroon - South
Africa
- Asia: South Korea - Israel
- Soviet Union - China
- India - Japan
- Europe: Sweden - Germany
- Italy - Spain
- France - England
The sizes of the game board are 45.5 x 45.5 cm. It's midfield shows the above mentioned countries on the world
map in the same colors.
Instead of stations there are 4 (not exsisting) airlines called
American Airline - African Airline - Asian Airline and European Airline. The 3
corners after Salida moving counter-clockwise are: Migración/Vaya a la
O.N.U. - Loteria Internaciónal - O.N.O./United Nations
The pawns shown on the
flags on the lid do not exactly correspond to those belonging to the game. These are
aggravation pawns. The Rules are printed on the inside of the lid. Along with the rules - there is also a
chart of statistical information about the continents and many of the countries in around the globe. The information includes land mass in
km², population, languages, capitals, and currency. The game was obviously made before 2002 because the European currencies are the old
ones.
The game comes with white inserts completely covering the playing equipment. When turned upside down insert is folded into two compartments with perforations all along the common edge of the compartments. It is apparently intended to use as an inner box to hold the
playing equipment. It can also be used as a banker's tray. However it only has the two big compartments (no money compartments).
The cards are called Carta and Telegrama.
There are but 5 denominations of Turista money (however with the
Monopoly design, i.e. with the illustrations of a locomotive and house)
consisting of one sided color-printed white paper . They are:
10.000 - 20.000 -
50.000 - 100.000 and 500.000.
The houses are of yellow plastic, the
hotels
are red. Both have a chimney.
Both dice are white with black pips.
This edition in exactly the same presentation is also manufactured and marketed
in Columbia.

Diese Version auf

The game:
This collector's item is from the collection of Steve Amato -
N.Y.
As it can be read from the bottom of this edition this typical Ecuadorian
version is also distributed in Chile and Mexico.
While in many countries the black, or blue,
Parker logo tends to disappear these days from the Hasbro
editions this first Monopoly edition is yet introduced in this country showing
the American blue Parker logo on the
colorfull lid. This also means the game has been produced in America. It almost has
the sizes of the standard white boxes of the Parker/Hasbro editions from around the year
2000 in Europe and elsewhere, only 1.5 cm higher. However, its content is that
of the standard square green boxes with the third
die as it is announced by the yellow
sticker on the bottom of the box saying
"Juega rápido con el Dado
Veloz" (Play faster with the Lucky die). The bottom
of the box only shows a large picture of the board with Mr. Monopoly on top and the "introduction
story" in a green column. There is no
reference to the new interactive ways of playing Monopoly by EA.
The properties are from Salida (Go)
onwards:

The most striking is the 3rd die, the red
socalled Lucky die, making the play faster. However, the game can still
be played the "old-fashioned" way, without this additional die.
This die shows the figures 1 - 2 and 3, a bus and 2x Mr.
Monopoly. The effect of this Lucky die, together with both white dice is:
 | 1, 2 or 3: Add up this with your throw of the white dice. |
 | Bus: You may choose if you want to move on the basis of one or both white
dice. |
 | Mr.Monopoly: Proceed the number of pips of the white dice and carry out
what has to be done on that space. Further you go to the next unsold
property and buy it or let it be auctioned. If there is no more unsold
ground you proceed to the next property of an other player and pay the rent. |
 | At double throw of the white dice the Luck die does not count. |
 | When you throw 3 times one, two or three in 1 throw you may go to a space
to choice. |
 | If you are sent to the prison, the Lucky die no longer participates. |
Other features of this
possible prospective "standard edition" are:
 |
In the white strip of the lid is stated it here concerns a Parker invention of a Family game for
players over
8 years old and a number of players from 2 to 8. |
 |
All 4 rims of the lid show the new
rectangular Monopoly red bar. |
 | The innerbox contains a greenish
cardboard filling piece showing the red
Monopoly bar and Ecuador
banner as well as a black plastic insert
with 7 slots for the banknotes. |
 | The
property deeds have the sizes of the European ones: 56x88 mm, while
the picture in the Rules booklet
suggest they have the sizes of the American cards: 67x77 mm.
The fact that this wrong card is shown in the Rules booklet may be an
indication there must have been an earlier
Ecuadorian Parker Monopoly? By the way: the word Mudo on the small card
is wrong, it ought to be Mundo. |
 | The Casualidad
and Arca Comunal cards are illustrated
