Not to be confused with Monopoly: Here & Now (Buzzfeed)


Monopoly Here & Now is a modernized version of the classic Monopoly board game. Released in September 2006, game play remains relatively unchanged, but almost all visual aspects are different.

All costs have been multiplied by $10,000, meaning players start with $15 million (instead of $1,500), and Income Tax is worth $2 million (instead of $200), which is also the salary players collect for landing on Go. In addition, Interest on Credit Card Debt replaces Luxury Tax, and is worth $750,000 (instead of $75); and getting out of Jail by paying requires a fine of $500,000. In addition, as this version was released prior to 2008, players may also exercise the 10% option on Income Tax.

The $15 million each player starts with is divided as follows: 2 each of $5,000,000s, $1,000,000s, and $500,000s; 6 $200,000s; and 5 each of $100,000s, $50,000s, and $10,000s.

Properties have been changed to famous locations around the USA, such as Times Square, the White House, Las Vegas, and the Gateway Arch. New tokens include McDonald's fries, a laptop computer, and a Starbucks coffee mug.

Utilities (Electric Company and Water Works) have been changed to service providers, including an Internet Service Provider and a Cell Phone Service Provider; and the Railroads have been changed to Airports (Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, New York's JFK, and Atlanta's Hartfield Jackson).

A later version, the Electronic Banking Edition, was released as an update to the Here and Now Edition. Its main changes include different tokens (such as a Segway and a baseball cap), and, instead of using bills as in the original, money is stored on one of 6 cards. Money is added and taken electronically. In 2008, the World Edition was released following online voting for its properties.

The videogame version was released on October 01, 2006, by Glu Mobile, The PC version was released on Feb 23, 2007, and it was created by Encore Software for the Windows XP/Vista. The iOS version was released on Nov 20, 2008, by EA Mobile and Hasbro as "Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition".
