Previous discussions:

I'd like to try something new - well, new for this article. Why not just a year by year timeline of events? I'm going to start it as a sub-page of the talk page, and see if we can get some ideas going. Since I've not regularly edited in a LONG time, I'm not sure what the criteria are for making an actual timeline into a Wikipedia article. The goal would be as a supplement and summary to this article and the Monopoly (game) page.

Monopoly Hotels?

Anyone have a launch date for the smartphone app version of this game? I got a copy of the board game version over the weekend at Target - was this a pre-Christmas release (like Cityville Monopoly)? --JohnDBuell (talk) 15:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it launched for iPhone months ago, but it never came out on the Play Store. Tostie14 (talk) 12:40, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BoardGameGeek is listing 2013, so that's the date I'm going with. --JohnDBuell (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Monopoly Championships - single table

Suggestion has been made to move the single table here and add other tournaments as new columns, and restore the multiple tables in the main article, but collapsible. --JohnDBuell (talk) 00:42, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Monopoly calculator

The rules booklet for Winning Moves' Monopoly Card Game from 2000 advertises a calculator that could be used during regular Monopoly game play. It was apparently also a Winning Moves product that helped with some game calculations and doubled as a regular calculator. Should it be included as a licensed product? Anybody have a pic we can use? --JohnDBuell (talk) 14:32, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Monopoly Live?

Anyone have any idea what happened to this edition? It was given a debut at the 2011 New York Toy Fair and supposed to come out that autumn. There are photos of it everywhere if you use Google Image Search, and an ad/video or two, but no actual games?! --JohnDBuell (talk) 00:00, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Collector and World of Monopoly website editor Matthew Horton has told me that he is aware of people owning copies of this game, and is trying to get more details. --JohnDBuell (talk) 20:07, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He got pictures from a collector, I think in Australia, so I'm going to wait until he posts them to link to the release, though I can quote the February 2011 press releases still on the web. I'd really like to know why this one seemed to only be released in Australasia.... --JohnDBuell (talk) 23:47, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

--- I believe the negative press around Live during the NY Toy Fair that year doomed its release in the US, and they ended up only releasing it in Australia and possibly one other country (not sure which) Tostie14 (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First video game

"In 1989, the first of many video game and computer game editions was published" is untrue. The first official computer versions were released in 1985 (here's a 1985 review, if you need proof of the date), while the unauthorised (but identical) Automonopoli was released in 1983. Mogism (talk) 16:22, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on History of the board game Monopoly. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

The progenitor of The Landlord's Game

For your consideration, this article proposes a pre-history of The Landlord's Game.

For reasons which I expect are obvious, I will not be adding this information to the article myself. Thanks. Phil wink (talk) 05:50, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

box color

The original parts box is described as black, but the photo shows it as blue. I have one right in front of me, and it is definitely blue. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FAR Notice

I do not believe this article meets the current FA criteria. Some paragraphs are uncited, as well as there being some questionable sources being used. Not entirely sure if this article is well-researched enough either as I wonder how thorough the page is on the history of the board game. GamerPro64 23:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 July 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved, per updated unanimous consensus. Thanks everyone for participation, civility, and logical responses ​ —usernamekiran (talk) 03:45, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


History of the board game Monopoly → History of Monopoly (game) – The parent article is Monopoly (game), so as a "child article", the nomenclature should reflect that of the parent. Even putting this aside, the article covers more than solely the board game proper, as it also goes into detail about other derivative properties with the Monopoly name, such as slot machines and a game show. This point was also addressed in the FAR by at least one other editor. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 07:52, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • relisting comment Currently there are 5 supports in favour of suggested title, "History of Monopoly (game)" (excluding nomination), and 7 in favour of "History of Monopoly". Both of the parties have presented valid rationale. I dont see a consensus as of 07:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC), so I am relisting this discussion. —usernamekiran (talk) 07:56, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, all! @Usernamekiran:, no argument against your relisting rationale, but wondering if this clears things up (I know there is already a backlog of move requests)?--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:32, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
