Never seen that version of the game before. Sounds like an interesting variation if you're a gambler.
Speaking of Trivial Pursuit, I played the
Star Wars DVD version with my brother and his 2 kids (ages 10 and almost 13) during my visit last week. The DVD clues come into play when someone's playing for a wedge. It was great fun; my nephew (who is quite a fan) won, but just barely.
We also played Monopoly. Now there's a game that has lots of different variations. We played the
Star Wars version (naturally
) and one called
Dog-opoly. This latter one (unlike most adaptations I've played) has different cards and rules (not just different pictures or descriptions, but actually changing things like property costs and rents, and amounts due or received on the cards).
Monopoly is a game with a reputation for taking forever, but it happens that both times someone got the equivalent of the Park Place-Boardwalk monopoly early in the game (along with enough other scattered properties to hinder trades among the rest of us trying to secure our own monopolies), so the games weren't very long and went as you might expect.
