This review will be centred around the new aspects of the game, so I'm assuming that everyone sitting here has at some point experienced an earlier version of the game.

First of all, there is a new electronic bank system. This is a brilliant addition that adds flow to the game, eliminating the boring wait of someone trying to count out that 97th dollar.

Another good addition is that of skyscrapers and pyramids etc. These decorate the board like a beautiful piece of modern art and really jazzes up the game.

Add these new features to the addictive appeal of collecting properties and building on them and you have yourself,in my opinion, the best board game ever made.
