Detailed product description

Tropical Tycoon is a modified version of Monopoly that incorporates new rules, new pieces, and new winning conditions. It uses a DVD (required) to generate random events. New additions include: Players have Jobs that give individual advantages. In addition to beach houses (houses) and resorts (hotels), properties can be developed with Casinos, Parks, Restaurants, and Piers. The rent for the Casino is pure luck, but sometimes the owner has to pay out to the visitor. Parks don't garner much rent, and what rent they gather is based on the weather, which can change with every Chance or Community Chest event (the Park's main benefit is its worth in Fortune Tokens at game end: A Park on Gentle Sands is the equivalent of four million dollars cash at the end of the game). Piers' rent depends not only on the weather, but also the presence or absence of a cruise ship, which is also affected by the card events. Finally, Restaurants' rent is dependent upon the neighboring property improvements. There are very few of these developments, though, so the competition for them can be fierce! Although the basic board layout is the same as a standard Monopoly board, there are no Chance and Community Chest cards; when a player lands on one of those two spots, the DVD determines what happens. One of the dice has a TV symbol in place of the 1-pip; when the TV is rolled, a News Broadcast is played on the DVD, which triggers a random event (much like Chance or Community Chest). Players collect Fortune Tokens (and earn them at the end of the game through their cash and property holdings). Play ends when one player goes bankrupt (or, alternately, whenever the players decide to stop). The player with the most Fortune Tokens at the end of the game wins.

My family played this game and absolutely loved it. It adds a whole new dimension to the regular monopoly game and you never know how your luck will turn out with all the dvd's scenarios. I totally recommend this game.

I've always liked Monopoly, and this is a fun new twist on it. I love the the game is over whenever you want it to be. The new rules where alittle hard to get use to, but I guess it's like that with every new game. One thing I don't like about the game is when they say 3 to 6 players, you have to have 3 to 6 players. Can't play with 2 people or over 6 people.

Monopoly has been around for a very long time, and for a very long time has been a long drawn out game. This new version of monopoly, utilizing interactive DVD play, revolutionizes monopoly game play. The rules can be somewhat ambiguous and unclear at first, but after one complete game you will understand the workings of it. It takes a few minutes to get used to it and to understand all of the rules, but it is a much more pleasurable experience than the original. I have always been a fan of monopoly, but even as a fan I am glad to see this change. It adds a variety of new options for your monopoly to include casinos, parks, and restaurants. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing family games and/or has children who like the original monopoly.

I have played monopoly for years and years and I honestly don't think I have ever finished a game. I have played various versions from Star Wars to Transformers to UNC-Chapel Hill and I have never been able to finish any of them - even if I was winning the game. I got bored with the game because it just kept going and going. I actually bought this as a gift for a friend of mine who loves Monopoly. Of course, we had to play right away and I have to admit that I absolutely loved this game. I never got bored because there are so many different twists that the game can take depending on the decisions you make on the DVD. We had so much fun with this game and my friend who is VERY competitive didn't even get upset when he lost. We actually played the game three times that night and when it comes time to suggest a game for our game night this is one of the first games that we think of. I would suggest this game for people who love Monopoly AND the ones who don't. It has the same rules and concepts of the classic for the die hard Monopoly fans, and enough twists and turns to attract new fans of the game.
