These 11 Fun Monopoly Editions Will Spice Up Your Next Family Game Night

When it comes to game nights, Monopoly is a go-to favorite. Created in 1902 by Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie and later acquired by Parker Brothers in 1935, this beloved board game has been a source of both fun and, let’s face it, frustration at gatherings for decades—making it a timeless classic.

While the original version remains a family favorite, Parker Brothers has rolled out countless special editions of Monopoly over the years, offering fresh takes on the classic gameplay. These themed versions—drawing inspiration from iconic films and TV series like Star Wars and Game of Thrones, as well as national landmarks and memorable moments in pop culture—offer a fun new twist on the game.

For the most part, the same rules apply: Your goal is still to dominate the board and watch your opponents teeter on the edge of financial disaster. But some versions—like Monopoly: Cheaters Edition—turn things on their head in ways that make the game even more entertaining. Here are 11 special editions of Monopoly that you should definitely add to your collection if you haven’t already.

1. Monopoly: Longest Game Ever; $21

For those who find a typical game of Monopoly too quick, this version allows you to stretch the experience over hours. The game doesn’t end until one player has every property on the board—66 in total. With only one die, you’ll move at a slow crawl across the expansive board.

2. Monopoly Deal Card Game; $8

If you’re not into spending hours on a game of Monopoly, this card game version speeds things up to about 30 minutes. It’s perfect for up to six players and keeps the same vibe as the original, but without the board or the classic pewter pieces to move around.

3. Monopoly: National Parks Edition; $49

America’s national parks are a treasured part of the nation’s history and culture. But if you’ve ever dreamed of owning these beautiful landscapes, this edition of Monopoly makes that possible. As you move around the board, you can acquire iconic parks like Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Sequoia, just like in the classic game.

4. Monopoly: Star Wars Classic Trilogy Edition; $45

This limited-edition Star Wars Monopoly set hails from a galaxy far, far away (specifically the late 1990s), before the prequels and Disney’s sequel trilogy. The board features all references from the original trilogy, making it a perfect trip down memory lane for longtime fans. Instead of traditional houses, you can place X-wings or TIE fighters on classic locations like Endor, and choose from nine pewter figures representing your favorite characters. Whether you’re on the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire side, this throwback edition is a must-have.

5. Monopoly: Game of Thrones; $31

In the cutthroat world of thrones, the only rule is to either win or perish. While the consequences are less dire in the Monopoly version inspired by the hit HBO series, fans will still enjoy the intense, winner-takes-all dynamic. Choose from six game pieces, each representing the sigils of famous Westerosi houses. This edition also includes a miniature Iron Throne designed to hold cards, and with a press of a button, it plays the show’s iconic theme song.

6. Monopoly for Millennials; $30

This Monopoly edition stirred up controversy when it was released in 2018, as it turns the traditional real estate game on its head. Instead of purchasing property, players collect experiences (since, according to the box, millennials “can’t afford [real estate] anyway”). These experiences range from attending a week-long meditation retreat to dining at a vegan restaurant. While the game might be poking fun at Gen Y stereotypes, it’s still an interesting take worth trying—if only to say you’ve had “the experience.”

7. Monopoly: Rick and Morty; $43

You can set up shop on your own corner of Gazorpazorp or other multiverse locations with this Monopoly set based on Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty. Instead of standard bucks, the game uses Flurbo currency, and the custom board comes with six playable tokens, including Rick’s ship, Plumbus, a portal gun, and others. In place of standard houses and hotels, you can dominate the game using Flooble cranks and Gooble boxes, which adds to the fun.

8. Monopoly Game: Cheaters Edition; $18

Monopoly often sparks frustration when players break the rules, steal from the bank, or skip out of jail. In the Cheaters Edition, this devious behavior is actually encouraged—provided you don’t get caught. The box even includes a pair of plastic handcuffs for anyone who gets caught cheating.

9. Monopoly: Stranger Things; $85

Even though the kids of Stranger Things are known for playing Dungeons and Dragons, we bet they aren’t opposed to a round of Monopoly. This collector’s edition game based on the hit Netflix show features favorite places and characters from Hawkins and the Upside Down. Build forts and hideouts instead of homes and hotels and play as tokens like Eggo waffles and slingshots.

10. Monopoly: Friends; $26

If Monica could pick a game besides Scrabble, it would likely be the rule-focused Monopoly. In this version, you can choose from six tokens inspired by the iconic characters from Friends, like a dinosaur for Ross and an acoustic guitar for Phoebe. Travel around the board setting up coffee mugs and sofas instead of houses and hotels, starting from "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate” square through all ten seasons of the show.

11. Monopoly: The Goonies; $36

The beloved 80s adventure movie The Goonies gets its own Monopoly version. Choose from six themed tokens, such as Wicked Willy’s eye patch, a bicycle, or a skull and crossbones. Travel around Astoria, Oregon, collecting Never Say Die and Hey, You Guys cards while constructing booby traps and treasure chests.
