Peru-flag.

  Number of  versions: 8

   Edition: January 22, 2003

Most probably Parker Brothers also marketed their Spanish language editions of Atlantic City in Peru. (So far I haven't got any confirmation.)  However, it is for sure a few regional game manufacturers issued Monopoly editions as well.

 

International Spanish language edition of 1985.Edition: International Spanish language ed., Ref.8009
              "Juego de Intercambio de Finca Raíz de Parker 
              Brothers (Game of exchange of properties, originally P.B.)
Publisher: Parker Brothers, Inc. - Beverly - 1985
Dimensions of the box: 25.6 x 51.0 cm
The game:
This set has been issued by Parker Brothers in all North-, Middle- and South American countries where Spanish is spoken, so most probably in Peru as well.
It concerns the well-known American standard edition in the white box with the streets of Atlantic City, but in the Spanish language. 

From Go (¡Adelante!) on all properties of the International Spanish language edition are:

Avenida Mediterráneo - Arca Comunal (Community Chest) - Avenida Báltica - Impuesto sobre Ingresos (Income Tax) - Ferrocarril Reading - Avenida Oriental - Casualidad (Chance) - Avenida Vermont - Avenida Connecticut - En la .../De visita no más - Plaza San Carlos - Compañía de Electricidad - Avenida de los Estados - Avenida Virginia - Ferrocarril de Pensilvania - Plaza Santiago - Arca Comunal - Avenida Tennessee - Avenida Nueva York - Parada Libre (Free Parking) - Avenida Kentucky - Casualidad - Avenida Indiana - Avenida Illinóis - Ferrocarril B. & O. - Avenida Atlántico - Avenida Ventnor Obras de agua potable (Drinking-water Works) - Jardines Marvin - !Váyase a la Cárcel!

The lid of this "long box" shows the last part of the 4th side and Go. On top is the red bar with Rich Uncle Pennybags in the middle O. The dice show numbers 3 and 5. The bottom of the box is un-printed.
The back of the solid game board is blue. The word Monopoly goes in closed characters in a black frame sloping over the board. The innerbox contains except for a small plastic insert with 7 holes for the banknotes also a filling up piece of blue cardboard on which the "13 frequently asked questions" are printed in Spanish.
The game is entirely in the Spanish language but the money is in dollars. It are the well-known banknotes with the mention "Copyright 1935 by Parker Brothers Inc." in the centre circle. The  Casualidad (Chance) cards are red and the Arca Comunal (Community Chest) cards are yellow, both illustrated with funny pictures of Rich Uncle Pennybags identical to those of the original American issue.
There are 10 metal tokens "made in Hong Kong", viz.: car - hat - thimble - dog - boat - iron - canon - rider-on-horse - shoe and wheelbarrow.
The dark green houses and red hotels with overhanging roofs are made of plastic and do have a centrally placed chimney. Both dice are white with black pips.

This edition was "Fabricado en los EE.UU" (Made in USA).

 

Peruvian version of Anti-Monopoly -1987.Edition: Antimonopolio.
           "The small entrepreneur against the Great Monopolist"
           "This game has been manufactured by Fiori S.A. under licence of Prof.Ralph Anspach and not by Parker-Brothers."
Publisher: Fiori S.A. - 1987
Dimensions of the box: 47 x 23 x 4 cm
The game:
Peru was the only place in South America where Anti-Monopoly was marketed. It was marketed so succesfully by Fiori (also on TV) that it outsold Monopoly. It happened between 1987 and 1990. Unfortunately, the Shining Path uprising then ruined the Peruvian economy and Fiori stopped publishing board games. 

Anti-Monopoly is an upgraded version of the Atlantic City Quaker game named monopoly.
Professor Ralph Anspach invented the game and Professor Irvin Hentzel did the mathematics.

In Anti-Monopoly, players play either by monopoly or competition rules fixed at the beginning of the game. Competitors charge fair rents, build as soon as they own a property, put 5 houses on their properties and occasionally go to Price War. Monopolists extort monopoly-high rents from their poor tenants, build only after they have monopolized a color grouping, restrict supply by putting only 4 houses on their properties 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, a technique made possible only by the computer age.
Anti-Monopoly 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. The conflict between competitors and monopolists adds excitement to the game.

The game board shows streets of 8 South-American capitals, viz.: La Paz (Bolivia), Quito (Ecuador), Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile), Caracas (Venezuela), Bogota (Columbia), Buenos Aires (Argentine) and Sao Paulo (Brazil). 

The game is "Prod. Peruano".

 

International Spanish language edition of 1999.Edition: International Spanish language edition, ref.08009

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro Inc. - Pawtucket - 1999
Dimensions of the box: 26.9 x 40.2 cm
The game:
The lid of this new "standard box" (shorter than the 1985 issue) also shows the last part of the 4th side and Go. On top is the red bar with Rich Uncle Pennybags in the middle O. The dice now show the numbers 3 and 6 but the race car is still on the Paseo Tablado.
The bottom of the box is still un-printed, unlike the similar European editions showing a "laughing family" around a table playing Monopoly.

In this new box is one narrow, white plastic tray with but 5 slots for the banknotes and all other equipment. The remainder of the innerbox is filled up with a light green cardboard insert showing again the "13 most frequently asked questions".The board is folded in four and consequently it lies about in the box.  The red Monopoly bar is sloping across the board. On the game board are the nice looking Casualidad and Arca Comunal cards. 
As addinional (11th) token the "moneybag" has been added, the winning token from the ±1998 Monopoly new token campaign.
The green plastic houses and red hotels have a chimney in the middle of the roof.

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro Perú S.A. - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 25.2 x 48.3 cm
The game:
This again is the Spanish language issue of an American game, i.a. with the streets of Atlantic City.
For this anniversary edition the same design is used as for the DeLuxe versions in many other countries in this same peiod: 

Alongside the lower part of the colorful lid shows a part of the 3rd side of the game board with (green) locomotive in the middle.
In contrast to the DeLuxe editions of other countries there are no gold tokens on the streets here.
Right on top of this locomotive are 2 white dice showing a 1 and 4 on top.
On top of these dice is the red Monopoly-bar- with-shadow and Mr.Monopoly out the middle O.
And on top of this finally is a gold colored arch telling this is an anniversary edition.

However, in contrast with the DeLuxe editions this box is not high and therefore it cannot contain a carousel card holder for the banker.
The bottom part of the box shows a nice color picture of the game board and its accessories, however without the tokens. Because of the fact this is an anniversary edition a "moneybag" has been added. 
The property deeds (58x89 mm) with rounded corners have a blue back.
The funny illustrated orange colored Suerte (Luck) and yellow colored Arca Comunal (Community Chest) cards are rather small (45x77 mm). 
The money consists of one sided printed Monopoly banknotes in low denominations 1 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 and 500. Here again the $-sign is used on the game board as well as on the property deeds and in the Rules.
The 10 metal tokens are the very well-known: boat - car - hoat - dog - iron - rider-on-horse - wheel-barrow - canon - thimble and shoe. However it says on the bottom of the box that there are only 8 tokens supplied.
The green houses and red hotels are made of transparant plastic. They have a chimney in the centre of the roof.
Both dice are white with black pips. The Rules are printed red on white paper.

This game is imported from Argentina.

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Tonka/Hasbro Perú S.A. - ±2000
Dimensions of the box: 30.3 x 30.3 cm
The game:
The presentation of this Junior edition is according to the American design, i.a. with a somewhat oblong game board in a square box. It also bears the "typical" American ref.number 441. However, 
it is Fabricado en Argentina.

The long sides have 10 spaces and the short side therefore only have 6. Besides the sizes of the spaces are  rather different. The 1 time folded game board's back is red. The bottom side of the box shows a color picture of the board with all its accessories.
Inside the inner box is a cardboard insert with the Rules printed on in red.

Join Rich Uncle Pennybags and his nieces and nephews for a thrill-filled day at the "Amusements street" - the Roller Coaster, the Magic Show, the Water Slide the Video Arcade and more.  
Four kids can play at the same time, because there are 4 simple pawns (instead of cars as the picture at the bottom suggests), resp. yellow, red, blue and green. The Casitas de Venta (Ticket Boots) distributed at the start  of the game are in the same 4 colors. They very much look the same like the well-known hotels and they also have a chimney. The moment you have 2 entretenimientos (attractions) of the same color you can collect double the fee.
There are 6 Suerte spaces, where cards can be drawn with instructions like Dirigirse al tobogan de agua (Go to the Water Slide) and Paga $3 para tomar el tren para ir al toilette (Pay $3 and take the train to the toilet). The sizes of these cards are 45x78 mm.

Card game of 2000.Edition: Monopoly Express, Art.N° 9035 - Juego de Cartas (Card game)
Publisher: Parker Brothers/Tonka/Hasbro Argentina S.A. - 2000
Dimensions of the box: 19.0 x 27.2 cm
The game:
Strang enough there are no Rules supplied with this game, made in Argentina. On the other hand it is manifest it is a happy families game, because the aim is to make monopolies of one of the famous streets plus 1 or 2 adjacent other fields like Suerte, Arca Comunal, Obras de aguas corrientes or Compañía de Electricidad. All 4 stations also make a monopoly, as well as the the 4 corners. The game is again the Spanish language version of the American town Atlantic City.
A colored bar along the edge of the little game board (26x26 cm) indicates which 4 spaces belongs to a monopoly.

The Rules of the corresponding American  Express Monopoly Card Game, No.40155 from 1994 tell us:
"At the start of the game for a maximum of 4 players each one gets 4 cards; the remainder is placed in the center of the game board (on the Pozo space). The one who is on turn draw as many cards as necessary to bring his hand up to a total of 5. Next he/she plays one card to the space of the matching property group on the board. The one who adds the fourth card to 1 color makes monopoly and put these cards face down in front of him/her.
There is no money, nor houses and hotels, but the monopolies do have a value in points, increasing from 1 to 8. At the end of each round each player's number of points are counted. The first player to reach 50 points, or have the highest score after the final round has been completed, is the winner  ."

This edition is imported from Argentina.

The price of this set amounted to ARS 12.- (= € 3.60) July 2002  in Argentina.

Publisher: Parker Brothers/Hasbro/The Toy Comp. S.R.L. - 2001
Dimensions of the box: 21.7 x 41.5 cm
The game:
The lid of this long little box shows Mr.Monopoly out the middle O of Monopoly in the red bar. Because Rich Uncle Pennybags was not renamed into Mr.Monopoly (with red bow tie) until 2000 this issue must date from that year as well.
Although this edition has been manufactured in Argentina it still is the Spanish language issue of the American version, i.e. with the streets from Atlantic City. Of this both most expensive streets next to Salida are shown on the lid underneath the red bar. On the lid and all its rims show the Hasbro logo and in addition there is a promotion sign saying 
"Original Monopoly with metal tokens".
The bottom of the box show a color picture of a game board (with red back) and all accessories. In reality the board's back is dark blue
The game board's  playside is folded outwards. The properties are still low prised, reason why you receive but $ 200 over Salida. The property deeds (58x89 mm) with rounded corners have a blue back.
The funny illustrated orange colored Suerte (Luck) and yellow colored Arca Comunal (Community Chest) cards are rather small (45x77 mm). 
The money consists of one sided printed Monopoly banknotes in low denominations 1 - 5 - 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 and 500. Here again the $-sign is used on the game board as well as on the property deeds and in the Rules.
The 10 metal tokens are the very well-known: boat - car - hoat - dog - iron - rider-on-horse - wheel-barrow - canon - thimble and shoe. However it says on the bottom of the box that there are only 8 tokens supplied.
The green houses and red hotels are made of transparant plastic. They have a chimney in the centre of the roof.
Both dice are white with black pips. The Rules are printed in blue on white paper.

This edition is imported from Argentina.

The price of this set amounted to ARS 40.- (= € 12.-) July 2002  in Argentina.

 

Infantil instead of Junior, ref.441.Edition: Monopoly Infantil, Art.Nº 441(Children's Monopoly)
Publisher: Hasbro Arg. S.A./The Toy Comp.S.R.L. - 2001
Dimensions of the box: 30.3 x 30.3 cm
The game:
The great difference between this edition and the somewhat older version under the same Art.N°441 is the translation of Junior into Infantil.

Although it doesn't like very obvious there are still some small differences, viz.:

The board's back is dark blue.
Also here the tokens are no cars but simple pawns-with-
big-base.
The ticket booths are now small, plastic houses with chimney.
The one die only measures10x10x10 mm.

Of course the Rules are the same. 

This edition is also manufactured in Argentina.

The price of this set amounted to ARS 28.50 (= € 8.55) July 2002 in Argentina.
