Austria
edit| Austrian Edition ATS version[2] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Game description: This national edition is based on a standard board with street names from eight Austrian state capitals. Each capital gets one set of color properties. In order around the board, these include Eisenstadt, Graz, Linz, Klagenfurt, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Vienna, and Bregenz. |
| Österreich (Austria) Edition EUR version | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Game description: This a board localized for the nation of Austria. Based on a Standard Edition game set, the streets used are from various Austrian cities. These include Eisenstadt (brown properties), Graz (light blue properties), Linz (maroon properties), Klagenfurt (orange properties), Salzburg (red properties), Innsbruck (yellow properties), Vienna (green properties) and Bregenz (dark blue properties). The set comes with standard currency denominations (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500); property values are given in euros. Pieces include green plastic houses and red plastic hotels. Tokens: Ten metal tokens: Cannon, dog, wheelbarrow, car, battleship, iron, thimble, horse and rider, hat and shoe. Other features: The train stations from the standard German edition are changed to North station, West station, South station and Franz Josef's station (in German: Nordbahnhof, Westbahnhof, Südbahnhof and Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof). This board edition also grants the same choice on the Income Tax space as the U.S. original; in this case it's 10% or €200. Many of the European boards simply charge €200. The Luxury Tax space is also called that (instead of the regular German Zusatzsteuer or add-on tax), but has a rate of €100. |
Belgium
editThere have been several editions of Belgian boards. They used to be either in Dutch or in French. Recent editions use bilingual game boards.[3] Street names are taken from cities across the country, equally divided between the Dutch and French speaking halves of the kingdom. There are a few city editions also. All together -special editions included- there are some 53 listed versions using these variants, including translations of other variants (FIFA World Cup, Star Wars, etc.).[3]
The currency values in the Belgian editions used to be francs. The bills that came with the set showed 20, 100, 200, 400, 1,000, 2,000, and 10,000 francs. The property and penalty prices are presumed to match the new billset, with the starting cash equal to 30,000 francs (1,500 x 20). Now the currency is the euro. Bills are the 500, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 1 euro coins with starting cash of 1500 euro.
| Belgium Walloon Edition[3][4] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Game description: The Belgian Walloon edition of Monopoly features cities and streets from both the Walloon and Flemish areas of the country. The railroads are the three big Brussels railroad stations (Brussels North, Central and South) and one 'Buurtspoorwegen' or 'Chemins de Fer Vicinaux' which used to be the Belgian light railway and tram company. Electric Company and Waterworks stay the same, with translations. Tokens: Colored wooden Man-What-You-Not-pin nets are used as tokens. Other features: The houses and the (long) hotels are in the form of a triangular tent of beautiful shiny wood (later plastic). The dice are standard white plastic with black pips. |
| Belgium Flemish Edition[3][4] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Game description: This special edition features streets from Antwerp, Belgium. The language used is Flemish. Tokens: Colored wooden Man-What-You-Not-pin nets are used at tokens. Other features: The houses and the (long) hotels are in the form of a triangular tent of beautiful shiny wood. The dice are standard white plastic with black pips. The box on the original Flemish edition did not state as such, though a 1964 release did indicate the Flemish edition. The second 1963 release used official Monopoly money. |
| Brussels Edition (Bilingual)[3][4] | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Game description: The Brussels edition of Monopoly features a mix of cities from Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. Ten street names come from Flanders areas, ten from Wallonia, and two additional street names are added from Brussels itself. The grid above incorporates both language versions; the French version is on the left and the Dutch on the right where two names are given. The railways are the same as the other respective versions, as are the utilities. Tokens: Standard Monopoly tokens: thimble, wheelbarrow, car, boat, gun, horseman, hat, dog, shoe, and iron. This is the case with each city edition. Other features: This version still uses the adjusted values and the franc bills. A second edition uses regular values and the regular bills, and was released in 2000. Under pressure from owner Hasbro, the edition presented in 2019 censored Manneken Pis, the 17th-century bronze statue of a naked boy urinating, with swimming trunks.[5] |
City Editions
editStarting in 2000, Hasbro and TFL Games began releasing special -opoly editions based on cities in Belgium. The original Brussels edition got a facelift with a new board and standard dollar values and playing pieces. A number of Wallonian cities also got special editions, including Namur (capital of Wallonia), Liège, Charleroi, and Arlon, all in the Walloon Region along with 3 Flemish cities Antwerp, Ghent[6] and Ieper[7]

|---|---|---|---|
Game description: This was a special Europa (Europe) Edition of Monopoly, released in Germany in 2001. The board was released just before the euro was adopted, and features licensed paper replicas of the 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 euro notes. A package of licensed plastic replica 1 euro coins is also included. The dice come in the official Blue and Gold colors of the European Union, as do the houses (blue) and hotels (gold). The game board features the capital cities of twenty-two European nations, for buying, selling and trading. The European Parliament and the European Court of Justice take the places of the two utilities. Four major airports (London's Heathrow, Paris's Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam's Schiphol and Frankfurt's Rhein-Main) take the places of the four railroads. Tokens: The eight tokens represent famous European landmarks: The Palace of Westminster, UK, the Eiffel Tower, France, the Brandenburg Gate, Germany, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, a windmill, The Netherlands, the Manneken Pis, Belgium, the Sagrada Família, Spain and the Parthenon in Greece. Other features: As the properties are nations and their capital cities, they are laid out in reverse order by the year they joined the European Union (or its predecessor organizations). Thus France and Germany occupy the dark blue spaces, and are the most expensive. Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium occupy the green spaces, Luxembourg, the UK and Denmark occupy the yellow spaces, and so on. |

Game description: Thirty companies were represented on the board, with twenty-two presidency cards (in place of the usual street properties), four retail cards (in place of the railroads/railway stations), and two utilities. Community Chest and Chance were replaced by Bull and Bear cards, respectively. The UK standard Super Tax space became a Capital Gains Tax space, though the Income Tax space remained unchanged (except for value - values of all spaces, including the tax spaces, were multiplied by millions of Pounds). The companies represented on the board were international, including Gillette, Unilever, Swissair, Pizza Hut, Daimler Chrysler, Toshiba, Alcatel, Tesco and BT. Tokens: Six standard Monopoly tokens were included: the racecar, iron, Scottie dog, battleship, hat and shoe. Other features: Rules for the game were widely changed for this edition. The doubles rule (taking an extra turn, or going to jail after three consecutive doubles rolls) remained, as did the auction rule (a space, when landed on, if not purchased by the player whose token landed on it, would be auctioned by the bank). Landing on a coloured company space allowed the player to buy a majority of shares if it hadn't already been floated, or pay rent, which went to the bank, and not the player possessing the card. Extra shares could also be purchased during a turn: one share of any floated company, or two of the company that the player's token is on. Dividends (a minimum of £200 million, plus accumulated rents) were collected each time a player passed Go. The construction of offices/head offices (in place of houses and hotels) could only commence when all companies in a colour-group were owned, similar to standard rules, and building shortages, also as in standard rules, could also be caused. Shares of companies (up to 9 per company) could be bought from and sold to the bank, or traded with other players. If a shareholding plurality is achieved by another player, that player assumes control of the company, which could break a monopoly. All transactions were intended to be entered into the included Electronic Share Unit. |

|---|---|---|---|
Game description: This board was released in 2005, to honour the 70th anniversary of Parker Brothers acquisition and commencement of sales of the board game Monopoly. The concept of the game is to update the board and gameplay through inflation, use of currently valuable properties, new tokens, new artwork, use of airports in place of railroads, use of apartments in place of houses, and new scenarios on the Community Chest and Chance cards. The Electric Company was replaced with Telecoms (a tower in London), and Water Works was replaced by The Sun newspaper. Tokens: Limited editions included a cheeseburger, inline skate, mobile phone, skateboard, Formula-1 race car, passenger jetliner and a London bus. The standard edition omitted the bus. Other features: Trafalgar Square is the only property to have the exact same location on both the classic board and the Here & Now Edition board. Regent Street is also on both boards, but was demoted from a dark green to a yellow property, and thus draws less rent than before. |
