Monopoly is a commercial boardgame produced by Hasbro under its Parker Brothers board games imprint. It is a turn-based game simulating the real estate market, where two to six players vie for dominance. Since it was patented in 1935 by Charles Darrow, it has been played by approximately 750,000,000 players. In 2007, a Transformers version of the game was created, updated with a special collector's edition in 2009. Dreamwave art features heavily in this set.
Merchandise
- Transformers Monopoly (2007)
- Transformers Monopoly is a variation on the traditional Monopoly game. It is set in a Generation One micro-continuity.
Gameplay
Properties in the traditional Monopoly game are now locations in the Transformers multiverse. Utilities are computers, and railroads are now forms of transportation. Community Chest cards are now Autobot cards, while Chance cards are Decepticon cards. The four corners - go, jail, free parking, and go to jail - remain unchanged for legal reasons. Houses are now called energon cubes and hotels antimatter. The only difference in gameplay besides the name changes is that, upon rolling doubles, one can choose to use a 'special power' instead of moving again. What the power is depends on the allegiance of the character and which number was rolled.
Characters
The 2007 version of the game had six characters available:
The 2009 collector's edition eliminates Bumblebee, Jazz, Starscream and Soundwave and adds:
