Have just looked at the Beatles Monopoly. The US albums? Feh! Not only that, but you are given fewer hotels and houses, and the game ends much sooner than it should. JcS

This looks like a must to put on my Christmas list (and I'm sure the game's creators are hoping there are plenty of us Beatles fans who feel the same way!). NP: the Beach Boys, "Bluebirds over the Mountain," Friends / 20/20

Since they have already done Elvis & Kiss Monopoly it was about time to Feature the Fab Four. I wonder what it too Apple to agree to this? Nice Pic on the Box!!

This edition of Monopoly looks great. I'll be picking it up when it comes out.

The Fabs weren't about that. They took their accountants' advice and formed Apple(a form of real life Monopoly) and what a mess. The Beatles' sucked at that stuff. We should all boycott this game. If The Beatles were to have a game, it would be more like Candyland, all trippy and fluffy except that molasses pit which scared me as a child. It should be peaceful and kind of mindblowing.

Or, it could be like Monopoly, but in with some twists: 1. Whenever you pass go, you have to give large chunks of the money to management, the taxman, and other hangers-on. 2. You don't build a house or hotel on your property, you build a money pit. When others land on it, they take out more than they put in. 3. You don't play alone--you have a wife that spends more than you earn (thinking specifically of Mo here). 4. After having phenomeonal success, circling the board at dizzying speed for years, you decide not to roll anymore and stay in one spot. 5. In the end, you hope the cash you make is equal to the cash you spend. JcS

And to expand upon your #3, if you want to be like John Lennon, you let your wife play alone and you go into your bedroom for five years to watch the shadows on the wall.

Thought of another one--this may wind up being a work in progress: 6. By the time you reach Abbey Boardwalk and Let It Be Place, you hate the player that is using the McCartney token.

7. You have to listen to "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" on repeat play... over, and over, and over again... while you play the game. (Better than "Revolution 9"! "Financial imbalance" indeed...) NP: XTC, "Summer's Cauldron," Skylarking

9. You criticise the the way the other people are playing until they walk out in a strop. 10. The game ends when all the money is in escrow.
