 I've always love Monopoly Aug 29, 2007
This edition of Monopoly is awesome. I really like the property holder, it really helps keep things organized. I played the Here and Now version recently and hated it. The money is just so confusing. I think the smallest bill was like $10000. The colors were similar and just playing it made me miss the original version. This deluxe version also has wooden houses & hotels which keep them from bouncing around when players aggressively roll the die.

A Timeless, Educational Alternative to TV and Video Games Jan 12, 2007
Also does wonders in quieting down a house full of kids, and may even teach positive money habits!

The deluxe version has just about everyting you need! Dec 14, 2005
This deluxe version of monopoly is in-cre-di-ble. Sometimes we play it so much that we stop and don't play it for ages, but after a few months we play it and this deluxe version has made playing it so much easier.
First, the wooden Houses and Hotels. They are a lot more fun to use and much easier to handle. They're not hollow and look real nice, even if they're not so detailed as the plastic ones.
Second, the Gold pieces. The pieces are absolutely elegant with their simple designs and their beautiful shiny gold. Not real gold, but it makes them all look incredible! Plus, their's an extra token. It's a train token, and I find it one of my favorite tokens now. (The money bag is also included)
Third, the banker's tray. Some people may not like this if they are too used to taking money out of individual trays, but this keeps the money together much easier. Their is a slot where you insert the money like you would drop an envelope in a drawer, and you can take it out easily. Plus, it has three little compartments for the houses, hotels, and a small one for the tokens and dice. It really is wonderful.
Fourth, the Propert Carousel. If you ever got angry about keeping the properties in order, you don't need to anymore. It is a small turntable with slots for each property including railroads and utilities. You can spin it around whenever you're searching for a particular one. It is extremely handy, as you can spin it very easily and it never wears out. (If you take out all the properties and spin the turntable on a smooth surface, it will spin for ages :-) )
Fifth, the Community Chest and Chance cards are not paper. They're now plastic cards with coloring in their pictures. It looks real shiny and new, and they're much easier to shuffle and handle.
The board also has a large specially colored Rich Uncle Pennybags in the middle with DELUXE EDITION below him in gold letters. That really gives the whole thing a brand new work. (The money also has DELUXE EDITION on it, so you can tell it apart from the original).
Seven, the other tray for holding things. If you have ever gotten fed up with using rubber bands or plastic bags to hold your pieces and properties and cards, this will make your life ten times easier. It has a spot for holding everything together leaving no room for scattering unless you turned the box upside-down. It has a progressively larger compartement (from the bottom up) sunk into the tray, leaving spaces for the Community Chest and Chance cards first. Then the Title Deed cards, then the property carousel, and tow big slots beside that for the money. You can put it all away and take no more than five minutes in the next game to start.
Altogether, not only is this game an enormous improvement to the original (the original was good too :-) ) But it saves you hours of time just putting the game together or putting it away. I found monopoly much more enjoyable when I didn't need to take so much time to move things around or sort things out. If you love monopoly, then get this. You will really find the gameplay much more enjoyable with fancy pieces and easier sorted out areas for your house, hotels, money, ect. It may cost a lot, but it is worth ever penny. I think I can gaurantee you will not be disappointed.

 OVERPRICED, CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED AND DISAPPOINTING Jan 23, 2005
The only thing "Deluxe" about this addition is the glossy foil cover of the box, which is designed to make you think you are getting something special by paying more money.
Nothing could be further from the truth. This edition screams "CHEAP" from the second the lid comes off.
Let's go thru the hype above and set the record straight on all the "Deluxe" features:
The board is a quad-fold affair, redesigned presumably to allow a smaller, less expensive box. It has much less rigidity than the single-fold board of the "classic" version. When it is left out for an extended period of time, especially overnite, the ends of the board curl up and refuses to lay flat.
The houses and hotels are completely featureless, just small blocks of wood. They looked to be dipped in some type of vegetable dye rather than painted. This is probably an attempt to eek out a few extra cents of corporate profit.
The "bankers tray" and "property wheel" are flimsy plastic jokes. Neither would last under play by children much more than a few games.
This edition is a sad legacy to a great game, and the cheapness of the set detracts from the joy of play. For the additional cost, all you are really getting is the fancy foil cover and one extra play token, plus a board that curls up at the edges: Whoopee!
My advice: Save the extra money and buy the "classic" version.
