Monopoly's popularity is of epic proportions. This quintessential board game challenges wannabe capitalists of all ages to accumulate as much wealth as possible by buying, selling, and trading properties; collecting rents; and various other windfalls. Keeping players engrossed for hours, Monopoly requires clever strategizing and sometimes ruthless business maneuvers. Numerous versions of the thoroughly satisfying game have appeared over the years, but Make-Your-Own Opoly could be even better--because players create it themselves! The game includes everything needed to hand-customize the game board, cards, play money--even the box. Whether using a computer and printer or simply a pen and scissors, anyone can manufacture the perfect individualized "Smith-opoly," "Baldwin Middle School-opoly," or "Timbuktu-opoly." Contains CD-ROM, floppy disk, paper and label set, game board, six colored pawns, two dice, easy-to-follow publishing booklet, and game instructions. For two to six players. --Emilie Coulter

Make your own opoly I was expecting a make your own version of Monopoly. The game sent to me did not share enough of the monopoly features, such as railroads, jail, and just visiting squares. The tokens are not made of metal. The pieces that are provided do not resemble houses or hotels. If I knew it had so few features of a monopoly game, There was no cardboard (only paper)provided to make the deeds. I would not have ordered it.

The design aspects are seriously flawed in the board, the money and pieces, and the program itself. But the final product is really fun to play. (Brief summary of points at the bottom) First let me start with the problems in design.
I opened up the program, printed the instructions, and that went fine. I tried to insert some pictures,... more info
