![]() All in all, we certainly had fun playing this one!Ĭityville monopoly is a nice addition to the Monopoly collection, incorporating some of the key things that made Cityville so popular on Facebook and for Zynga. So, you don't have to land on that property to purchase it. There are other differences, too.like if you draw a card that requires you to pay a bank fee, you get the option then of purchasing any property that the bank still owns. The game is over when the first player builds four skyscrapers, so this game can be over in an hour or so.and not take days to finish. Those cards allow you to raise the rent on a property of your choice.pretty nice if you have a cheap property. If you land on that spot on the board you draw one card for another player and one for yourself. There are also decoration cards that you can get that make the game a little more fun. Some of the differences that made it better.the houses/skyscrapers that you build on your property are stackable (how genius!) and they are not built on the square (where they often get bumped and moved by playing pieces).they each have a spot above their square to be built. I guess if you are sentimental about the original you might not agree, but I don't know that we'll go back to playing it now that we have this one.

And if Hasbro are making them, then there must be a market for them. Times like Christmas, especially, show that physical board games, which involve you actually being in the same room as your opponent, are still relevant. Other, similar stories can be seen in recently-released board versions of the social games like Elefun, Hungry Hippos, and Logo What am I? Not a patched upgrade Version 2.2.0 or anything like it! Hasbro has just released Monopoly CityVille, which combines the Monopoly City board game with elements of the CityVille online games. Then there’s the latest version of CityVille – the social city-building simulation online app game. ![]() Given that so many scores of millions of people have downloaded and played Angry Birds I guess it’s reasonable to suppose that some would buy a “hard copy” of it (especially with the wonderful title of Angry Birds Mega Smash Game.) It’s part of a trend that game makers are using to cash in on the huge popularity of many of the biggest social media games. It’s kind of ironic then, that a board game has been released of Words with Friends which, in itself, is an electronic-based game inspired by an old board game invented in the 1930s. In fact, some of the most popular social games are board-based games based around Scrabble, like Words with Friends, are hugely popular, for instance.

This Christmas, kids (and some bashful adults, probably) were waking up to open their presents, finding an Old Skool board version of Angry Birds, Cityville Monopoly or Words with Friends under the wrapping paper!
