Monopoly Advance To Boardwalk ~ Family Game Series #8
Here is another game that I enjoyed as a child. We are big Monopoly fans in our home, so I knew the boys would enjoy this one also. Monopoly Advance To Boardwalk has a very noticeable difference to the original Monopoly game. The gameboard has an end! Just like in Monopoly the object of Monopoly Advance to Boardwalk is, of course, to control the most value in property. The difference is that instead of the game going on until one player stands as the last with money, this game has a built-in timer of the player’s hotel pieces. In this game units are built on the squares. And once they are built they can’t be moved without a Fortune card. This is part of the fun because it means that the players have to make smart decisions on where they build.
Another noticeable difference besides the style of the gameboard, is that there are three dice instead of two. Two of them are standard with one to six pips, while the other one is marked with colors. A player wins by building high-rise hotels and amassing the largest fortune. This is such an easy game to learn to play, and once you do you’ll want to play time and time again.
In the box you will find: Bi-fold Gameboard, 80 Hotel Units, 3 Dice (2 Standard Dice and 1 Color Die), 20 Property Cards, 28 Fortune Cards, 4 Plastic Tokens (Sailboat, Baby Buggy, Roller Skate, Moped), Illustrated Instructions. This game is intended for ages 8 and up.
This is such a fun family game, plus it’s always nice to disconnect from electronics and just play a good old-fashioned board game.

This sounds like a fun version of the classic game! I would definitely play it with my family. 🙂 We have family game night every week.
We used to play board games when the family got together, but they took too long and people got impatient waiting for their turns for a game that just took what felt like forever to have a winner, So we switched to playing things like poker and other card games that move faster. I really like the idea of a built in timer on this, I think this was a smart move.
My family use to play Monopoly so much. We had to take breaks because people here will get angry if they don’t ‘win’ haha
