Finally got Chinese Monopoly :)

I went for the China standard edition: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290222136435&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=019 Unfortunately there was only one, but there's still a Beijing edition available.

We had to go for a Hongkong version when on holiday two years ago. In Shanghai, we couldn't get a proper Monopoly, only some strange Taiwanese clone.

I'm tempted to get the Beijing version as well.

It arrived today, it's very cool. ;) It's all in English as well so you can play with family and friends who don't understand Chinese. Larger view: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3074/2436295835_31a41db2fa_o.jpg

I thought I'd type up all the properties to help me learn them: 南岸 渝中 新区 园区 金闾 汉阳 武昌 汉口 南开 河西 和平 浦东 徐汇 静安 海淀 朝阳 东城 南山 福田 罗湖 荔湾 东山 上海站 重庆站 北京西站 广州站 供电公司 自来水公司

I've noticed there isn't the usual brown properties, is that a unlucky colour in China? ;)

I believe that Chinese people definitely bet money when playing this game!

Hi changye I don't agree with you. It just a game and almost played by Children here in China. Chinese people will bet money when they playing cards, and mah-jong麻将. But not all of chinese bet money when playing games. I don't like to bet money and never did that before. Bazza, I liked this game very much when I was a little girl and I played this game with my neighbors at weekends during my childhood. oh, it was called大富翁da4fu4weng1 at that time. Thank you for the link and that reminds me the old wonderful time.

Hi casie, I’m pleased to hear that you don’t bet money when playing games. Actually, I also hate betting money and gambling. 我这个人连一张彩票都从来没有买过，打赌，赌博更不用说了！

That's really cool, bazza! Thanks for sharing : )
