Fast Game Play

 Many people feel that a standard game of Monopoly takes a long time. They may be interested in playing but simply don't have a couple hours to dedicate to a game.  Game makers have come up with two solutions to this delema. 

In 2006 Winning Moves released Monopoly Mega Edition which introduced a speed dice. Players roll the two standard dice plus the speed dice each turn. The speed die, is a six sided red die. It features two Mr. Monopoly, one bus, and the numbers one, two, three.

If numeric pips appear on all three dice, the player will move the combined total of all three dice. If a Mr. Monopoly is rolled the player gets a bonus move. First the player moves according to the white dice, taking the action they normal would on that space, then move again to the next unowned property, which they may buy. If all properties are owned they would move to the next property on which they need to pay rent. If a player rolls the Bus, first the player moves according to the white dice then decides whether to take a bus ticket for later use or move to the nearest Chance/Community Chest Space. If rolling doubles entitiles the player to roll again, they may use a bus ticket in place of rolling the dice again. While in Jail players should roll only the two white dice unless they have paid to get out, then they may roll all three dice. If tripple one's, two's, or three's are rolled they may move to any space on the board they choose.

In 2019 Hasbro released Monopoly Speed Edition. This version is played in under 10 minutes. It includes a timer, and is played in 4 timed rounds. Each round has a buying stage followed by a trading stage. 

During the buying stanges all  players roll and buy at the same time. Each player is given a token and matching die. During the trading stages you can use the change cards to help make deals. Community Chest cards get the player bonuses at the end of the game. 

There are two Go spaces. At the beginning of the game players decide which Go space to start at. Each time a player pass go they will collect money. The Jail space has also been sped up. If a player goes to Jail they will Get out of Jail Free everytime, players move to the Jail space but keep rolling.

There is no break between stages and at the end of the fourth round players will count up all their cash and the player with the most cash wins.
