The "Giant Edition" published by Winning Solutions in 2012 is a version of the standard Monopoly™ Brand game with only one change - everything is 150% the size of the standard version. This includes the board, the box, the dice, the cards, the tokens, the money... everything - even the instructions are in large print on an 8-page foldout that is nearly 8.5" x 11" when folded. To give an idea of the scale, the Monopoly Money is nearly the size of standard US currency, being taller than a $1 bill, but not quite as long.
Game Play[]
The "Giant Edition" is played exactly like standard Monopoly. The Speed Die, introduced in the Mega Edition is also included, using the Standard Edition Speed Die rules , (there are no Bus Tickets).

Board[]
When opening the board from the box, it unfolds once - revealing two halves, which are each folded twice - meaning there are 3 sections on each side for a total of 6 section. It also means that there is a cut between the two halves going 2/3 of the way down the board.
