Having not played a board game with my family in years, I thought this new electronic Monopoly edition would be a fun way of reliving old family memories of this classic game. A variant of last years 70th anniversary "Here and Now" edition, Monopoly "Electronic Banking" takes another leap into the present day by scrapping the cash element of the game altogether and replacing it with pretend credit cards and an electronic cash console developed especially for this game by Visa.
On first play, the results of this update appear to be a timely reminder of modern life: it is now more difficult to keep track of how much money you are actually spending since your credit is kept in check solely electronically, you can no longer see exactly how much cash you have in front of you compared to your opponent. In this game I found I was more willing to splash out on the more expensive properties and hotels purely because there was less physical evidence of my funds.
While this update is a mostly fun (or frightning??) reminder of modern living, my family found the old fun of sitting with wades of £100 and £500 notes while your opponents were slowly going bankrupt was mostly gone and it was often harder to keep track of who was actually winning at any given time. That said, the credit cards and electronic console are very well made and can easily handle transactions between two players, transferring cash between cards instantly.
Also, it appears that the game makers have opted to display a more suburban/residential London on the board this time round. Apart from Oxford Street, London's mighty commercial thoroughfares are all but absent this time around, replaced by uber-chic residences for the ultra-wealthy such as Kensington Palace Gardens (home to the world's most expensive mini-palaces), Knightsbridge, Kings Road and St. Katherine Docks. Fans of the original game may be disappointed that London's traditional West End locations are less-well represented this time round.
Otherwise this is still classic Monopoly, the rules and gameplay remain exactly the same. Traditionalists may find the lack of hard (play) cash a big-miss but there's much fun to be had in the comparisons with modern life this update exploits to the full.

As a keen Monopoly enthusiast I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands on this electronic banking edition. The board is the same as the "Here and Now" edition so you can say goodbye to "Old Kent Road" and say hello to "Portobello Road Market".
Firstly, the electronic banking system is practical but not all that satisfying to play with. You get 6 bank cards and a palm-sized device that allows you to transfer money between two cards, add or subtract money from a card. The cards undoubtedly speed up the game but there is no longer that sense of satisfaction when you are collecting wads of cash whilst opponents money reserves dwindle. Also every time you press a button on the device it produces an aggravating bleeping noise. Additionally if you play the "Free Parking" rule you have to have a separate card to put the Free Parking money on.
Otherwise, this is just a standard Monopoly edition with all the same rules applying. Maybe this is just me being old fashioned but I miss the feeling of crisp banknotes at my fingertips and so have since reverted back to my standard "Here and Now" edition. I would recommend this product if you are looking for a quicker and cleaner game but if you are a traditionalist like myself then this edition isn't for you.

I thought that with the so many different Monopoly's out recently, this one would slip by unnoticed.
But I was really wrong!
This is a great version, in my eyes by far the best. It uses credit cards which keep track of the money you own, and includes a credit machine which you use to add or subtract money from your accounts. Children will love to tap in the controls on the credit card machine, it looks quite like a PIN machine.
Also, inflation has finally caught up with Monopoly, with the whole value of money changing. Ownership of the exclusive Kensington Palace Gardens (previously Mayfair) will set you back a cool 2million pounds.
A great improvement on the old version, there are no negatives about it!
