- Iconic family game Monopoly has created their ‘longest ever’ version for $30
- There are 66 properties included instead of the usual 28 and 40 spaces all up

Monopoly has released its ‘longest ever version’ of the iconic game with 66 properties, 40 spaces and a singular die involved.
The traditional form of the game with 28 properties – which arguably still takes a number of hours and family breakdowns to complete – has been trumped by this $30 product.
An advertisement for the new version read: ‘Think the original Monopoly game takes forever to play? It’s got nothing over this edition.’

‘Even bankruptcy won’t get a player out of this Monopoly game. The game doesn’t end until someone owns every single property – and there are three versions of each in this board game,’ it continued.
The latest version is available exclusively on Amazon so you’ll need to get it shipped before the silly season begins.
There has been a mixed reaction from fans online with some saying they couldn’t wait to try it and others wanting to steer clear.

‘I can’t play with people who get mad at a game. This would be fun, but I would probably take the day off work,’ said another.
A third added: ‘I have almost every other version so you know what I’ll be asking Santa for Christmas this year’.
