Handmark has given us a functional, well-oiled Monopoly game that will get you around the board and take the edge off of your Monopoly craving. However, the lack of a few key features makes this game less enjoyable and more frustrating at times.For example, you can not raise cash during an auction on an opponent's turn. So if the computer lands on Boardwalk and you find yourself holding only $1... the computer gets to buy it for $2 at auction.
I would also like to see options to bend more of the rules, such as Get Out Of Jail Free cards (which I can't believe they omitted), and putting cash from taxes/fines on Free Parking, and different levels of opponent AI. Also useful would be the ability to orchestrate a 3-way or 4-way trade.
Handmark has made a game which is solid and aesthetic in and of itself, but lacks a few features that appeared in Monopoly releases on other platforms which would make a truly versatile and classic game.
(Note: This review is as of version 1.13. I have emailed my suggestions to Handmark, and they responded that they were working on some of these as additions for the next release.)
