I am a huge Monopoly fan! I love this game, and have played it all through my growing up years. The good folks at Hasbro sent me their newest Monopoly offering for a chance to play and review this all-time classic game, Monopoly Singapore: Then & Now. Most interestingly, it is the launch of the world’s first double-sided Monopoly board!
I quickly managed to round up two friends to play a “speed round” with me, and we had a fun time examining this board.
Two board – one with Singapore then and the other showing Singapore now. Recognize some of the iconic places?
So if you choose to play a more retro-style Monopoly game, you can use the traditional notes, and use the brand new tokens like “durian”, “tiffin can” and even a “trishaw”… and my favourite “durian” as well!
There are even two sets of “Chance” and “Community Chest” cards for each board, and the “then” cards even had a more vintage-y look.
We decided to go with the “Now” version, and whipped out the electronic banking unit and the credit cards.
It was a fun walk down memory lane, as the three of us relived this classic childhood game! I am looking forward to introducing my kids to this game! Of course, my good friend R managed to trash us in the game, and at her request, here’s her winning stack of properties (with a “victory” sign to boot)!
Haha! Thanks Hasbro for a fun afternoon!
Monopoly Singapore: Then & Now is available for S$79.90 at Toys ‘R’ Us and all major departmental stores.
