===Post-2005 variations=== Beginning in the UK in 2005, a revised version of the game, titled ''Monopoly Here and Now'', was produced, replacing game scenarios, properties, and tokens with more modern equivalents.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Media: Strategy Analysis - The biggest ever game of Monopoly |url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/media-strategy-analysis-biggest-ever-game-monopoly/522383 |access-date=September 2, 2018 |website=campaignlive.co.uk}}</ref> Similar boards were produced for Germany and France.

In addition, $1,000 denomination notes (first seen in Winning Moves' ''Monopoly: The Card Game'') are included. Game play is further changed with bus tickets (allowing non-dice-roll movement along one side of the board), a speed die (itself adopted into variants of the ''Atlantic City standard edition''; see below), skyscrapers (after houses and hotels), and [[train station]]s that can be placed on the Railroad spaces.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Horton |first=J.

This edition features top landmarks across the US.<ref name="y1999">{{Cite web |last=Horton |first=J. Matthew |title=1999–2008 |url=http://www.worldofmonopoly.com/history/1999.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202055521/http://www.worldofmonopoly.com/history/1999.php |archive-date=December 2, 2011 |access-date=February 21, 2012 |website=Monopoly History |publisher=worldofmonopoly.com}}</ref> The properties were decided by votes over the Internet in the spring of 2006.<ref name="here_and_now_about">{{Cite web|title=Top 10 Most Visited Monopoly Properties|url=https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/most-visited-monopoly-properties-411880|access-date=December 29, 2022|website=The Spruce Crafts|language=en}}</ref> Monetary values are multiplied by 10,000 (e.g., one collects $2,000,000 instead of $200 for passing GO and pays that much for Income Tax (or 10% of their total, as this edition was launched prior to 2008), each player starts with $15,000,000 instead of $1,500, etc.).<ref name="y1999" /> Also, the Chance and Community Chest cards are updated, the Railroads are replaced by Airports ([[O'Hare International Airport|Chicago O'Hare]], [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles International]], New York City's [[John F. Kennedy International Airport|JFK]], and Atlanta's [[Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Hartsfield–Jackson]]), and the Utilities (Electric Company and Water Works) are replaced by Service Providers (Internet Service Provider and Cell Phone Service Provider).<ref name="here_and_now_about" /> The houses and hotels are blue and silver, not green and red as in most editions of ''Monopoly''. The board uses the traditional US layout; the cheapest properties are purple, not brown, and "Interest on Credit Card Debt" replaces "Luxury Tax". Despite the updated Luxury Tax space, and the Income Tax space no longer using the 10% option, this edition uses paper ''Monopoly'' money, and not an electronic banking unit like the ''Here and Now World Edition''. However, a similar edition of ''Monopoly'', the ''Electronic Banking'' edition, does feature an electronic banking unit and bank cards, as well as a different set of tokens. Both ''Here and Now'' and ''Electronic Banking'' feature an updated set of tokens from the Atlantic City edition.<ref name="here_and_now_about" /> One landmark, [[Texas Stadium]], has been demolished and was replaced by the Irving Interchange exit ramps the join [[Texas State Highway 183]] (Airport Freeway) to [[Texas State Highway Loop 12]]. Another landmark, Jacobs Field, still exists, but was renamed [[Progressive Field]] in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mstarkey|date=January 11, 2008|title=Cleveland Indians formally announce naming rights sold to Progressive Insurance|url=https://www.cleveland.com/sports/2008/01/cleveland_indians_formally_ann.html|access-date=December 29, 2022|website=cleveland|language=en}}</ref> {{Clear}} {{hidden | style = border:1px solid silver; width: 100%; | headerstyle = background: lightblue; font-size: 110%; | contentstyle = text-align: center; | header = ''Monopoly Here and Now: The U.S. Edition'' (2006) | content = {{Monopoly board layout |Edition = |Banner = MONOPOLY<br />Here and Now:<br />The U.S. Edition |corner_1 = Collect $2<small>M</small> salary as you pass<br />'''GO''' |corner_2 = In Jail/Just Visiting |corner_3 = Free Parking |corner_4 = Go To Jail |spaces_horizontal = 9 |spaces_vertical = 9 |Color_101 = Indigo |Space_101 = [[Jacobs Field]], Cleveland<br />$600<small>K</small> |Color_102 = |Space_102 = [[Community Chest cards|Community Chest]] |Color_103 = Indigo |Space_103 = [[Texas Stadium]], Dallas<br />$600<small>K</small> |Color_104 = |Space_104 = [[Income tax]]<br />pay $2<small>M</small> or 10% |Color_105 = |Space_105 = [[O'Hare International Airport|O'Hare Airport]], Chicago<br />$2<small>M</small> |Color_106 = SkyBlue |Space_106 = [[Grand Ole Opry]], Nashville<br />$1<small>M</small> |Color_107 = |Space_107 = [[Chance cards|Chance]]<div style="font:bold 16pt times new roman,serif;color:#c00;">?</div> |Color_108 = SkyBlue |Space_108 = [[Gateway Arch]], St. Louis<br />$1<small>M</small> |Color_109 = SkyBlue |Space_109 = [[Mall of America]], Minneapolis<br />$1.2<small>M</small> |Color_110 = |Space_110 = |Color_111 = |Space_111 = |Color_112 = |Space_112 = |Color_201 = |Space_201 = |Color_202 = |Space_202 = |Color_203 = |Space_203 = |Color_204 = DarkOrchid |Space_204 = [[Centennial Olympic Park]], Atlanta<br />$1.4<small>M</small> |Color_205 = |Space_205 = [[Mobile phone|Cell Phone]] Service<br />$1.5<small>M</small> |Color_206 = DarkOrchid |Space_206 = [[Red Rocks Amphitheatre]], Denver<br />$1.4<small>M</small> |Color_207 = DarkOrchid |Space_207 = [[Liberty Bell]], Philadelphia<br />$1.6<small>M</small> |Color_208 = |Space_208 = [[Los Angeles International Airport]]<br />$2<small>M</small> |Color_209 = Orange |Space_209 = [[South Beach]], Miami<br />$1.8<small>M</small> |Color_210 = |Space_210 = [[Community Chest cards|Community Chest]] |Color_211 = Orange |Space_211 = [[Johnson Space Center]], Houston<br />$1.8<small>M</small> |Color_212 = Orange |Space_212 = [[Pioneer Square, Seattle|Pioneer Square]], Seattle<br />$2<small>M</small> |Color_301 = Red |Space_301 = [[Camelback Mountain]]s, Phoenix<br />$2.2<small>M</small> |Color_302 = |Space_302 = [[Chance cards|Chance]]<div style="font:bold 16pt times new roman,serif;color:#1e55d5;">?</div> |Color_303 = Red |Space_303 = [[Waikīkī|Waikiki Beach]], Honolulu<br />$2.2<small>M</small> |Color_304 = Red |Space_304 = [[Walt Disney World]], Orlando<br />$2.4<small>M</small> |Color_305 = |Space_305 = [[John F.

This second edition is more a spin-off as the winning condition has changed to completing a passport instead of bankrupting opponents. Community Chest is replaced with Here and Now cards, while the Here and Now space replaced the railroads. Houses and hotels have been removed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Oldenburg |first=Don |title=Monopoly Here and Now U.S. Edition Game |url=http://www.parents-choice.org/product.cfm?product_id=33753&StepNum=1&award=aw |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160317070221/http://www.parents-choice.org/product.cfm?product_id=33753&StepNum=1&award=aw |archive-date=March 17, 2016 |access-date=November 5, 2016 |website=Parents' Choice Foundation}}</ref> Hasbro released a ''World'' edition with the top voted cities from all around the world, as well as at least a ''Here and Now'' edition with the voted-on U.S. cities.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly Here & Now |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/votemonopoly |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151230184422/https://www.buzzfeed.com/votemonopoly |archive-date=December 30, 2015 |access-date=April 9, 2016 |website=BuzzFeed}}</ref> ====''Empire''==== ''Monopoly Empire'' has uniquely branded tokens and places based on popular brands. Instead of buying properties, players buy popular brands one by one and slide their billboards onto their Empire towers. Instead of building houses and hotels, players collect rent from their rivals based on their tower height. The first player to fill their tower with billboards wins.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly Empire |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/145842/monopoly-empire |website=BoardGameGeek}}</ref> Every space on the board is a brand name, such as [[Xbox]], [[Coca-Cola]], [[McDonald's]] and [[Samsung]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hasbro |title=Monopoly Empire – Monopoly |url=https://www.hasbro.com/en-gb/product/monopoly-empire-game:6E109F26-5056-9047-F50A-9DEECFC6D05A |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402011006/https://www.hasbro.com/en-gb/product/monopoly-empire-game:6E109F26-5056-9047-F50A-9DEECFC6D05A |archive-date=April 2, 2016 |access-date=September 2, 2018 |website=hasbro.com}}</ref> ====''Token Madness''==== This version of Monopoly contains 8 of the 56 tokens from the 2017 Token Madness event.

If they land on a Chance space, or roll the Chance icon on a die, they can spin the Chance spinner to try to make more money. Players may hit the "Jackpot", go bankrupt, or be sent to Jail.

The Monopoly Ultimate Banking game features an electronic ultimate banking piece with touch technology. Players can buy properties instantly and set rents by tapping. Each player has a bankcard and their cash is tracked by the Ultimate Banking unit. It can scan the game's property cards and boost or crash the market. Event cards and Location spaces replace Chance and Community Chest cards. On an Event Space, rents may be raised or lowered, a player may earn or lose money, or someone could be sent to Jail. Location Spaces allow players to pay and move to any property space on the gameboard.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly Game: Ultimate Banking Edition |url=https://monopoly.hasbro.com/en-us/product/monopoly-game-ultimate-banking-edition:292A13F3-5056-9047-F5EC-64DBA290A02B |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180902183845/https://monopoly.hasbro.com/en-us/product/monopoly-game-ultimate-banking-edition:292A13F3-5056-9047-F5EC-64DBA290A02B |archive-date=September 2, 2018 |access-date=September 2, 2018 |website=monopoly.hasbro.com}}</ref> ====''Voice Banking''==== In this version, there are no cash or cards.

The cards in the 110-card deck represent properties and wild cards, various denominations of Monopoly money used to pay rent, and special action cards which can either be played for their effects or banked as money instead.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rules |url=http://host.exemplum.com/hasbro/hasbro-card-games/pdf/monopolyDeal.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090407120541/http://host.exemplum.com/hasbro/hasbro-card-games/pdf/monopolyDeal.pdf |archive-date=April 7, 2009}}</ref> ====''Monopoly Go!''==== {{main|Monopoly Go!|l1=''Monopoly Go!''}} ''Monopoly Go!'' is a game developed by [[Scopely]] in collaboration with [[Hasbro]], available since 2023 for [[Android (operating system)|Android]] and [[iOS]] for free.
