Get Out of Jail Free: You can re-roll one of the policeman (like rolling a “Go”, “To” or “Jail” in Don’t Go to Jail) that you rolled on a previous turn.Hotel: You can score an additional $5,000 if you already have all four houses.Broken House: Lose one of the houses that you have already taken.House: Take one of the houses which will give you more points at the end of the round.The house/hotel die has four different sides: Once a player has completed a set they have the opportunity to role the house/hotel die for the rest of their turn.If the “Pass Go” side is rolled the player automatically earns 200 points. Monopoly Express includes a “Pass Go” symbol on some of the sides.In addition to the rules in Don’t Go to Jail, these additional rules were added to Monopoly Express: Whichever player ends up with the most points wins the game. If all of the players haven’t had the same number of turns, the rest of the players get to take their turns.
The game ends when one of the players reach the agreed upon number of points. The player will score 800 points for the utilities and 2,500 for the railroads for a total of 3,300 points. This player has completed both the railroad and utility sets. While you can have some mindless fun with Don’t Go to Jail/Monopoly Express, the game has some serious problems which keep it from being a good game. These two games take Monopoly and turn it into game that relies entirely on dice rolling. Today I am looking at another of those games Don’t Go to Jail which was later tweaked and renamed Monopoly Express. A while back we even looked at one of these games the Monopoly Card Game. Because of the popularity of the franchise Parker Brothers/Hasbro has tried several times over the years to fix this problem which has lead to quite a few spinoff games that have utilized the Monopoly theme.
One of the biggest complaints people have with Monopoly is that the game takes way too long which is a complaint that I totally agree with. Monopoly has always had a love/hate relationship with board gamers as some people really like it while others hate it. For a game created over 80 years ago it is actually quite impressive that the game is still as popular as it is. Created in 1933 Monopoly has grown into one of if not the most recognizable board game in the entire world.
