Monopoly is the board game of all board games. Everyone has a box set in their game cabinet, and you most likely have fond (or terrible) memories connected to the colorful paper money, small property pieces, and the phrase "Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."

Monopoly has origins dating back to 1903, and it was first officially published in 1935. Since then, it has been licensed and printed in numerous languages all around the world.

While the original version will always be a classic that's guaranteed to help you pass a few hours with some analog fun, there are also tons of special collector's editions and themed editions that breathe new life into the game.

These versions of Monopoly take your favorite pop culture characters and moments and incorporate them into the game. They might also feature new and interesting gameplay rules or twists to make the game more exciting.
