If you don't own a monopoly set this is the one to buy.
If you do own a modern monopoly set, send it down the charity shop and buy this one.
The houses and hotels are wooden, not squidgy plastic. The playing pieces are comfortingly heavy. The box is made of wood and the cards are made of card that is robust enough to actually withstand more than two games.
It's really lovely to play. I'm not old enough to remember the 1930's but the lack of cheap flimsy plastic and bits that fall apart after 10 minutes took me back to my childhood. It just feels good.

I'd originally ordered the basic version of Monopoly, having been bamboozled by the baffling number of editions of this popular game. The order was delayed as it was out of stock. But as I saw the link again, I clocked sight of this "Nostalgia Edition", and decided to change my order.
I could not have made a more wise decision. This is THE version of Monopoly to get. Too often you will see people drag out a battered and beaten more commonly-seen variant of this game, but this edition demands more respect. The box itself is well-crafted with butterfly-jointed corners and a nice sliding lid. The board is a 2-fold split kind, making the box about half the size of the normal game box. The individual player pieces are nice to handle and look at, and the cards have got a pleasingly authentic feel to them.
The box is out on display on a side-table and always gets attracting glances from guests.
Don't buy the common version! Spend an extra £tenner.

The first review here is spot on. This is the only version of Monopoly to buy. It's solid, made of wood, and will last forever.
Like most board games, the original versions manufactured are the best, and it's great to see a version of a board game made to the original standards....Not a plastic bit in sight! Worth the extra 5-10 squid.

Lovely, but could we have a full-size version?!
Presented in a durable wooden storage box, this is much closer in feel and styling to the vintage set of Monopoly that my brothers and I grew up playing at my grandparents' house. Read more

Excellent quality
This game is of far better quality than the standard version of the game. The houses and hotels are made of solid wood, rather than the usual hollow plastic. Read more
