SweetLoveVintage is selling this vintage 1954 Monopoly board game box for $10 on Etsy. Unfortunately, the game isn’t included and the box is a bit worn, but I think it adds a bit of character to it. Check out the photos of it below.

I don’t know who made this but they didn’t do a very good job. Regardless, there’s still some truth here I think. [via]
Adventures in bad gaming: Monopoly Here & Now
February 4, 2009 @ 3:57 am
I like playing Monopoly. It’s one of those classic board games that I’ll always agree to join in on if somebody asks me to. Part of the reason why I like it so much is because the game encourages a lot of communication and bonding between individual players. It’s because of this same reason that the game fails miserably as a standalone PC port.
That’s right. Some company thought it would be a brilliant idea to market the game as a PC version, essentially doing away with everything that made the board game fun in the first place like, oh, I don’t know…ACTUALLY TOUCHING THE BOARD AND THE PIECES AND HANDLING THE MONEY.
As you can imagine, you don’t do any of this in the PC game. In fact, all you do really is click your mouse over dialog boxes and the computer animates the rest of the standard procedure (like sucking your cash away after you’ve bought a property).
In a word, this game sucks. I don’t think I’ve played a worse game on the computer in a very long time. Why I even bothered to play this in the first place is unknown to me, but I can assure you I won’t be playing it ever again. DELETED!
Monopoly redesigned and repackaged
December 23, 2008 @ 1:05 am
This beautiful concept package for the classic Monopoly board game is made by Andy Mangold, a 20-year-old from West Chester, PA. Everything about this redesigned package is slick and awesome, from the laser-cut holder for the buildings and houses to the wonderfully compact card-slots.
Everything in a standard rectangle Monopoly box is contained in this 10″x10″ square that is only 1.5″ in height. Talk about space-saving design! This is a winner and Parker Brothers/Hasbro should really look into hiring this guy for a job.
Monopoly game board redesigned using Helvetica (and the color white)

This mock redesign of the Monopoly game board by French designer Florent Guerlain is nice and simple. But I feel like it’s too simple and because of it, I’m less interested in wanting to play Monopoly. The game of Monopoly should be a messy game, with paper bills, houses, apartments, and everything strewn all over the place. If I were playing on this Helvetica Monopoly board, I’d go crazy trying to keep the board looking as clean as it does now with nothing on it.
