Monopoly Game Board is the most popular and best-selling commercial game around the world. This is the channel I will publish my discoveries about Monopoly and the new branches this legendary game board has become.
Have I said Monopoly Game Board is an endless game?
I was wrong. There’s a record:
The longest MONOPOLY game ever played was 1,680 hours long. That is 70 straight days!
I’m just asking myself if this game ended by a real monopoly or desistence.
Another curiosity:The character on Monopoly brand is called Mr. Monopoly. Simple like that.

Q - What languages/countries are represented by specific MONOPOLY games?
A - The MONOPOLY game is licensed in more than 45 countries and the list continues to grow. The 26 languages in which the game is printed included Italian, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese, Croatian, Czech, Icelandic and Russian. Most foreign editions adopt their own currency and property names — for example, BOARDWALK becomes Mayfair in England, Rue de la Paix in France and Schlossallee in Germany. The National Federation of the Blind used a Braille edition, once, but the edition was never published publicly. We have no foreign language or overseas editions available for sale in the United States.

Wow! A Braile Edition! That’s a new one to me.
I’m 22 years old. When I was seven, I used to play Monopoly Game Board with my closest friends from school. Most of those friends I don’t see anymore and, surprisingly, I don’t miss them so much.
What I most miss is the act pass whole afternoons rolling dices and moving tokens around the board. The race for acquiring wealth was persuading us, little capitalists, since the beginning. And it was amazing.
The endless Monopoly games kept us distracted on rainy days in a world without internet.
Monopoly Game Board represents a great part of my life, that I’m about to repeat. Through this blog I will show my discoveries in this amazing game board that has developed a lot of branches since then. Welcome to the Monopoly Game Board, sign the feed and get updated about my discoveries.
