Playing Monopoly with London landmarks brings back past vacations there, and brings back memories. In contrast, I have only once been to Atlantic City (where the original game was based), and wasn't interested in the least in revisiting it. But a game is more than reminiscence; it should be fun and well-made. And this one holds up. The square wood case is durable and handy, with built-in cash holders. One disappointment was the cash: it seemed very small in size and the paper was pretty thin. I was hoping for some nostalgic paper money.This wood version of the game is wonderfully durable.It looks attractive when playing and when on the shelf.It has a classic aged look.As far as Monopoly sets go, I can see keeping this one for life. The box is solidly constructed and the game partsitself is well made. I also like that the board is a bit smaller than normal the basic Monopoly board is larger than necessary in my opinion. The one negative is that the board folds in four and so it seems a little more prone to damage. However, overall, this is a great set.I got this as a gift do my boyfriend of. Year & a half. He loves monopoly & he loves history. This included both. I'm not sure who was happier about the gift. He fell madly in love with it & so did I. Plus... it came in 10 days earlier than expected! Thank you Amazon!!!
