Monopoly has been the staple game of every financial enthusaist for over seventy years. Here are ten different versions of the classic Monopoly game, ranging from a collector's edition with gold pieces to I Love Lucy. Whichever Monopoly Game you choose, use the MySimon links below to compare prices from retailers all over the net.

1) Franklin Mint Collector's Monopoly Game

The Franklin Mint Collector's Edition Monopoly is the coolest and most fitting gift for the financially-minded person in your life. With solid gold pieces, sterling silver houses, and a rich, wooden board, every player will feel like a millionaire! The game can be purchased through installments of $50 per month with optional stands, chairs, and glass cover.

2) Monopoly Tycoon

This popular software program is not your typical Monopoly game. Compete against the computer or other players on a network by purchasing businesses, building apartments, parks, utilities, setting price levels, attracting customers, and running your opponents out of business. Be the first to complete a set of specific scenarios to win the game. Very entertaining.

3) Disney Monopoly Game

The Disney Monopoly game is one of my favorites. The much larger playing pieces include Alice, Baboo, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. Cottages and castles have replaced the houses and hotels, while the railroads have been replaced with Alladin's Carpet, Cindarella's Carriage, etc. Scrooge McDuck's portrait graces the front of the play money.

All the Coca-Cola fans will get a kick out of this Monopoly game. The board is decked out entirely in red and white with Coca-Cola logos, signs, memorabilia, and more everywhere! I personally drink a Vanilla Coke whenever I play this version with my friends.

8) 1935 First Edition Monopoly Game

Hasbro has released a replica of the very first Monopoly game sold to the public. The simplicity of the box and board are reminiscent of a time when America was coming out of the depression and $200 for passing go was a gold mine [$2,545.84 to be exact].
