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

memory maker I bought two of these, one for my sister's 40th birthday and one for my son's High School graduation. They are great to recap someone's life with photos and unique events. You can name the strreets after places they have lived and worked, or activities they participate in. The bad and good news cards were really fun to try and think up. You can really personalize this much like a scrapbook, only it is functional and has a sense of humor about it. This is something I believe my son will use in college and... more info
Fun idea! I got this for my mom for her birthday and designed the board and the money and everything with the included software. It was very easy to use! My first complaint is that you have to cut out all the pieces, they are not on a sticker sheet, it's just one giant sticker so you have to be able to cut straight (I'm a perfectionist). Secondly the color that was printed by my printer didn't match perfectly (again, I'm a perfectionist) to the color of the game board. It didn't have an end result that looked... more info
