What some of the reviewers have missed is the family fun to be had in making the game, working out the humorous chance cards, and being able to put together sets of properties which reflect all aspects of family life, schools, jobs, favourite holiday places etc. Done well, it will be one of those old games in the cupboard that gets brought out for years to come just for prosperity sake. We had great fun assigning all sorts of photos etc to the game. Its highly personalised and great fun.

Any fans of Monopoly who have considered this as a personalised version of the popular game - it's not.
The tag line goes: "Custom make your very own board game - With just some scissors, a PC & any simple colour printer" - the key words in this sentence are BOARD GAME, not monopoly game. For starters, there aren't as many squares on the board as proper Monopoly & there's no Jail square. They've also introduced a lottery square, where you bet to try & roll a certain number.
Besides not being the same board, inside the box is a board, a few sheets of printer paper, some printable stickers, a CD ROM, six plastic counters & two dice. The instruction book is vague & doesn't come with any rules for the game, so those unfamiliar with monopoly will be unsure of what do do.
You also don't have any option for houses & hotels or rent cards, so there isn't really anywhere for the game to progress once you've all bought the properties.
Overall, very disappointing.

Bought this for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas 2008. She couldn't wait for me to install the software on the computer to create all the street and any other building names (we had everything from her room to Dad's shed!) and details for the two sets of cards - obviously we used phrases relating to our own family! You can even include pictures by using supplied graphics or take your own with your digital camera and upload them - which is what we did!
You can print your own money and include any photo you like (we chose our own faces on the centres of the notes) and you even get templates for changing the name of the game all over the box and play board - instead of being called "Mon" opoly, ours was called "Ellis-opoly"!
This is exactly like playing the old Monopoly, but customised however you wish - we choose street names of our friends, family and around our area. Instead of the old boot, dog, ship pieces, however, you receive different coloured plastic pieces ... but we customised these too by sticking pictures of our faces on them!
Its very educational too .. our daughter is usually the banker and looks after the money so she has to do all the calculations for purchasing property and has to make sure she gives out the correct change, etc, as well as adding up rental values - getting in lots of practice ready for the real world!
Trouble is, she still wants to play it 24/7! Definitely the best game ever purchased!
