The Hasbro Monopoly Tropical Tycoon DVD Game puts a new and exotic spin on the classic game of Monopoly. It is just as fun and competitive as the original, but it adds a feature DVD and special new features for an even more exciting gaming experience. Recommended for ages 8 and up, and designed for 3 to 5 players, this game will have you rushing for pieces of real estate in a tropical paradise. Monopoly With a Tropical Twist
Monopoly Tropical Tycoon is played with classic Monopoly rules: each player must invest in property, develop housing, and compete with the other players for control of the map. This time around, however, everything's been renovated with a vibrant tropical theme. The utilities, for example, are now solar and water power. The properties are beaches, forests, casinos, piers and the like. The tokens have also changed, and now include a parrot, sail boat, parrot and other tropical items. However, the changes aren't just cosmetic -- there have been some serious gameplay changes as well! The DVD adds a storyline and narrative to your game, immersing you completely in the tropical vibe. Community and chance cards are now given over the DVD, too. Each player is now given special abilities as well, depending on which "job" they have chosen at the beginning of the game. All these extra features makes the game even more fun and engaging than the original Monopoly. 
Play the classic Monopoly game with a new vibrant tropical theme, including new tokens and properties. |

I'm a grandma and my 11 year old grandaughter really enjoyed playing Monoploly Tycoon on my computer so I ordered this for her thinking that it was a computer game. Yes. I know I should have read the details!
She said it needed a television to play it and it was kind of neat, but she didn't play it anymore.
 A great way to update a fantastic game! April 25, 2008

I bought this game as a christmas present for the kids and somehow we didn't get around to playing it until just last night! It was a lot of fun for all of us. I liked the interactive Community Chest and the fact that you can stop playing at any time. It has several features the standard monopoly doesn't have besides the obvious DVD feature. You now are awarded fortune tokens for different events which can help you win in the end even if you don't have the most money/property. I was the first to go bankrupt last night, but that just makes me want to play again!
Great remake of an old game, but . . . December 31, 2007

Received for Christmas and is great and fun, but ours contained two of the same game piece (sailboat) and no scooter. Also, the money tray doesn't have enough slots for all the money denominations.
 Island Monopoly-DVD game December 28, 2007

What an awesome game! We played this as soon as it was unwrapped (as a Christmas gift). It was so nice to have a different version of an old game, but also have the rules pretty much the same. We love the fact that we could stop the game anytime and declare a winner. Monopoly has a tendancy to drag on & on and get quite brutal, but this was a fun and interesting interactive game that we will play over and over. Great for anyone and everyone (over 8 yrs old). Would recommend this game to all who love to play video AND board games!
Updated version much more fun December 28, 2007

I recall Monopoly from my childhood and this updated version was much more appealing.
The DVD option was nice because it was a new twist but at times can slow the game down while you wait for the outcome. You do have 'choices' on Chance which wasn't available on the original card versions.
I've played it twice since I purchased it and it has been a great time and seems to go faster than the original.
