You didn’t include the drinking edition that at least one of your friends in college probably created at some point…
Comment by Blaine Moore — Dec 20th 2006 @ 1:54 pmI wanted to get the Nintendo Edition for my husband for Christmas. I got him a Wii instead..
Comment by Emma — Dec 20th 2006 @ 5:39 pmEvery University probably has their own version of Monopoly as well.
Comment by Flexo — Dec 21st 2006 @ 12:52 amYou forgot the “Michigan State University” version and the “Detroit” version
Comment by Jenni — Dec 22nd 2006 @ 5:03 pmYeah, I’m sure that pretty much every pro sports team, major university, and big city has their own version. These were just the ones that I could come up with based on a quick Amazon search.
Yes, we collect different versions of Monopoly. So far we have 25 different versions. Some of them are technically not the Monopoly brand (such as Cat-opoly, etc.), but are close enough. Fun stuff! This Post has our list. We’ve added the Here and Now edition and Bookopoly since I did that particular blog post in June.

Comment by mbhunter — Dec 24th 2006 @ 12:56 amYeah. All those versions of Monopoly - some by Parker Bros, some not. Haven’t yet seen the version I’ve been waiting for:
