The makers of Monopoly have turned things up a mega-sized notch with Monopoly: The Mega Edition! Each player starts out with a whopping $2,500 (including a new $1,000 bill) on a quad-fold board that's, well... mega-sized. That gives it room for 12 additional spaces including new states like Florida and California. Once you buy all the properties in a group, you get to build more houses, hotels, skyscrapers and even a depot! There are also Bus Tickets and a special Speed Die that let you and your pals zip through the game, making it much more fun and intense. But watch out - the Bus Tickets expire and the Speed Die can make you land on the next property you owe rent on, and trust us, the rent will be huge!
