Monopoly Electronic Banking Review & Giveaway

When I was about 10 or 11 years old my favorite game was Monopoly.  The neighbor girl and I would have marathon games that would last for days, sometimes weeks.  Sure, we might have made up some of our own rules but that was part of the fun. You’ve probably got an old Monopoly game somewhere  in the back of  your game closet, but how often does it get played with?  Monopoly is a game that is known to drag on forever.  Monopoly Electronic Banking is an updated version that keeps the play fast  with a high-tech electronic banking unit.  Each player gets their only personal bank card that allows them to check on their cash, buy property, collect debts and more.  The object of the game remains the same and players age 8 and up will learn real-world economics in a more real-to-life way considering today’s technology.  Monopoly Electronic Banking comes with a game board, electronic banking unit, title deed cards, chance and community chest cards, 6 bank cards, 2 dice, 6 updated tokens (like the Segway Personal Transporter, Baseball Cap, Altoids Tin, Space Shuttle, Flat-Screen TV and Dog in Handbag), 32 houses, 12 hotels and instructions.  Move into the 21st Century with the Monopoly Electronic Banking board game.  Monopoly: Electronic Banking Edition is currently available at mass merchandise retailers nationwide for $24.99.

“Monopoly is teaming up with the global organization SOS Children’s Villages for the launch to offer kids the opportunity to help build houses in real life for kids who need them. 

Hasbro’s Monopoly brand has committed to a total donation of $400,000 to SOS Children’s Villages. The more games kids play at Monopoly Planet the faster they could be helping MONOPOLY support SOS Children’s Villages, which is the world’s largest organization that provides homes and families to children without biological parents to care for them. In addition to operating more than 500 villages in 133 countries, SOS Children’s Villages advocates for the rights of children worldwide. Additionally, the organization helps to keep at-risk families together and helps at-risk families to prevent child abandonment. For more information about SOS Children’s Villages, visit www.sos-usa.org.

By playing games at MONOPOLY Planet, kids earn Power Points that will be converted into a cash donation of up to $100,000 (of the total $400,000 donation to SOS Children’s Villages). If at the end of the program the Power Points earned equate a donation of less than $100,000, Hasbro’s MONOPOLY will make up the difference.”
