The Do It Yourself Monopoly

U-Build Monopoly is a fun game that wants you to build the whole monopoly board yourself out of the pieces you get provided.
Everything is customizable these days, so why wouldn't monopoly be. I think that's the question they asked themself at U-Build prior to making this version of monopoly.
This game is a fun way to spend time with your kids, the colors and pieces are designed especially to appeal to children. But don't think adults can't have fun with it too.
This version of monopoly is not ordinary at all and it doesn't matter if you have a monopoly game at home already, this one would be a perfect addition to it.

A Brief Description

u build monopoly

First thing you notice is you don't have a board in the traditional sense. Setting up the game takes a bit more work than traditional monopoly as you get to create your own board and you can make it different every time.

Don't worry, you get a starting layout where you can begin to build the board right on top of the mat and follow the directions on where to place the chance and start spaces. The property spaces are then randomly placed between the set spots and you include the ones mentioned for the track you choose.

And you don't have to fiddle with it to make a perfect loop, that's what the railroads are for. If your ends can't connect, just stick a railroad on each one, then you can "jump" from one to the other during play.

In addition to the spaces on the board that you are used to U Build also has some fun new additions - including the orange, green, and blue tiles which impact your property values either making them worth nothing, protecting them from impact, or doubling their value! This tiles add more strategy to the game and that makes monopoly even more fun.

The money however is as low in value as in traditional monopoly. Here you have bills ranging from ten thousand to five million. This is a little strange but hey, in real life a skyscraper costs 7 million bucks too. So it makes it a little more realistic.

U-Build Monopoly Commercial

This is the official commercial for the U-Build Monopoly game. It looks like they are trying a little too hard to sell it to you. I don't know if this commercial was very successful.

    Can you buy extra houses? I'd like to just transplant these stackable houses over to my original Monopoly...less cluttered board.
