Our family loves playing board games and Monopoly has always been a favourite; we have various versions to ring the changes. In time for Christmas comes Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly from Winning Moves.
Choose your silver play token from: a coffin, a candlestick, a bath, a cay, two cubes, and a pumpkin. The aim of the game and the amount of money you start with is the same as the classic Monopoly but there are a few changes. Instead of Chance and Community Chest cards you have Presents and Pumpkins. Rather than four stations you have four "towns" to collect, and there's no tax to pay, just other expenses. To keep you in line there are the same four corner spaces and the rules follow the the usual code.
The box doubles as a receptacle for the bank with section for properties to buy and the different denominations of money.
The object of the game is to bankrupt the other players.
I love this version – loved the film as well – and it makes a great family Christmas present.
