Remember Family Game Night? Well, its been revolutionized by the video game industry. Not only are families playing video games, but also interactive games like Scene It!. Some argue that the best games ever are the original board & card games. Poker, Scrabble, Sorry, Clue, Blackjack, and other games have been completely done over by technology. High-stakes poker is not happening just at a casino's poker table, but at computer desks.
Most of these games are available online but some of the bigger names have made onto Nintendo DS, XBox, Wii, and Playstations (2&3). Monopoly is probably one of the most successful games in this area. Not only has it had handheld and computer versions, but it recently released the Monopoly: Classic & World Edition for Playstation 2. The game is a mix of both the original board game and a new style. The original board game plays by the standard rules (no "house" rules!).
The Richest Edition is a game similar to Mario Party. Minigames determine the number of properties you randomly land on. If the property is unowned, you now own it. Owned properties have a rent of one property (2 for monopoly, 3 for house, etc). Chance and Community Chest have their own surprises as do many other spaces on the board. There are a couple of different boards ranging from the Classic to an Ice board.
Mr. Monopoly goes around board in Richest Edition.
