Troodon's Monopoly Collection

I haven't updated this site in a while, but look for the addition of some new sets, including a new one from Thailand, Pokemon Edition, .com Edition, Marvel Comics, and others! I should be able to get them up within the month. I still haven't got around to adding Thai text; if you download the font, you'll see why this is extremeley difficult!(Especially if you aren't familiar with the Thai alphabet!) I'll get around to it eventually. Click here to download the necessary Thai fonts. Also, if you want to be able to read the Russian properties in Cyrillic, click here to download the Cyrillic font.

I was going to take new pictures of all of my Monopoly sets, but my camera broke, so it'll be a while before you see them here. Until then, I have a couple of pictures I borrowed from eBay. I'm waiting for a British set in the mail; I'll add it here as soon as I receive it.

Monopoly(Vjyjgjkbz), Russia (Soviet Union), Moscow Special Limited Edition, 1988

This set was made partially in the US, partially in Australia by Parker Brothers.

Monopoly, Thailand, Standard Edition, ????

This set is an unusual one. It's pretty cheaply made, and might not be an authorised edition. It's completely in Thai, so I'm not sure of the year or manufacturer. The board has drawings of different areas around Thailand. Instead of Income Tax, there's a 5th railroad (or equivalent; the pictures where the railroads should be look like hotels or apartment buildings.) As soon as I figure out how to put Thai text on this page, I'll add the property names. Click here to download the necessary fonts.

Dice: Plastic; Red dots(1,4) or black dots(2,3,5,6) on white

Monopoly Spin-Offs

Advance to Boardwalk, 1985

This spin-off, which never really caught on, involves trying to be the first to reach $60 million, or have the most money when the game ends, by building hotels on the Boardwalk. Scoring who owns a property depends on how many hotels are there, of whose color, or whose was closest to the bottom. The confusion is probably why the game didn't last too long.

Pieces: Plastic; violet baby carriage, red roller skate, grey moped, yellow sailboat

Dice: two plastic dice with white dots on red, one wooden color die

Hotels: plastic; stackable squares; 20 each violet, red, grey, yellow
