History TabletopGame / MonopolyDeal

* RidiculousFutureInflation: All currencies are increased to the millions mark, except in the 2018 revision which are reduced to the ones mark. Downplayed with ''Millionaire Deal'', despite its flashier themes, money is counted in the thousands.

** Subverted in the 2018 revision, the values are dominated in ones, so a M3 card is worth three Monopoly Dollars.

* MoneyForNothing: Only money placed in the bank can be used for payment meaning that a player with a low bank amount has to forfeit properties even if they have money on their hand.

** Another update was released in 2024 with a green overall theme, with more simplified and modernized artwork, as well as larger text.

A variant named ''Monopoly Millionaire Deal'' (out of print) changes the goal from collecting sets to collecting one million Monos (Monopoly Dollars, stylized as M). There is also a video game version of the original ''Deal'' game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/Xbox360, and UsefulNotes/XboxOne.

'''Note:''' In the 2008-2017 versions, card values were written as M[number]m; most websites simplify the notation as [number]M. The 2018 revision marks the values as M[number]. This article uses the prior version's simplified notation.

* UpdatedRerelease: The game was updated in 2018 with a blue box. The cards' artwork is more colorful, and most cards sport illustrations of Uncle Pennybags. The denomination has changed from millions to ones.

* SuddenDeath: In ''Bid'', players who tie in an auction get to bid again. If a second tie occurs, then no one wins, and all players take their money back.

* [[ExcitedShowTitle Excited Card Title]]:
** The It's My Birthday!, Double the Rent!, and Just Say No! cards in ''Deal''.
** ''Bid'' has all of its action cards written this way in the manual, although the cards themselves are just images.

* HouseRules: It isn't a ''Monopoly'' game without one:
** A simple goal change is to increase the number of complete sets from three to four or five.
** The official rules state that a Hotel (add 4M to rent) overrides the House (adds 3M to rent) when played, changing the added value for rent from 3M to 4M. However, this rule was not clarified in its initial run, so some players assumed the Hotel added more value ''alongside'' the House in a property set, from 3M to 7M.
** The two Deal Breakers are either reduced to one card in a deck, are removed from the game, or are treated as Money cards.

* MoneyMultiplier: The Double the Rent! card can be played (and counts toward one of the three plays) alongside a Rent card to make players pay [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin double the rent]] of a property set. Using a Rent card and two Double the Rent! cards ''[[UpToEleven quadruples]]'' the rent.

* AntiMagic: The Just Say No! cards repeal any action card targeted at the player. The attacker can also play a Just Say No! card to remove the target's card and so on.

* BoringButPractical: The lower ranked property sets are not worth much in rent, but owning one complete set is useful to meeting the winning requirement.

* CompressedAdaptation:
** No Chance or Community Chest, Go to Jail, Free Parking, taxes, mortgages, auctions, and trading. It's all about collecting properties and charging money on other players.
** The game as a whole takes far less time to complete than the board game. It's even the main selling point posted on the box's front.
** Morrisons, a UK supermarket, had a limited promotion of select card games given for free after a certain amount of products were purchased (or for £3). A simplified version of ''Deal'' was among one of them. It reduced the card deck from 110 to 52, so some properties and action cards were either reduced or removed. Interestingly, it added the exclusive Forced Purchase card, where a player is forced to sell a property from an incomplete set for double value.

* [[ExcitedShowTitle Excited Card Title]]: The It's My Birthday!, Double the Rent!, and Just Say No! cards.

* {{Joisey}}: The same Atlantic City streets from the board game appear in this game.

* MoneyForNothing: Only money placed in the bank can be used for payment, meaning that a player with a low bank amount has to forfeit properties even if they have money on their hand.

* NoKillLikeOverKill: Unless a Just Say No! is in play:
** The rent for a complete Dark Blue set plus a Hotel is 12M or 15M (depending on how one interprets the building cards). Adding the Double the Rent! cards increases its value to 24M/30M for one card and '''48M/60M''' for two cards. Playing a single Double Rent! is enough to take away everyone's assets.
** Playing two Deal Breakers in a single turn while owning one complete set is an instant victory.
* NonindicativeName: The Deal cards are basically "Steal" cards. The target in question gets little to nothing in return from a deal.

* ButThouMust: If the player doesn't have enough money in their bank to pay, then they must use their played properties (as each property has its own value). There is also no such thing as change, the attacker gets all of the target's money even if it goes above the original payment.

** Just like in the board game, the properties are coded in their respective color (e.g. Baltic Avenue is brown, Boardwalk is blue). This is useful for the dual-color Wild Property cards and Rent cards, as these work for the two colors shown on the card.
** The Money cards have different colors for each value. Action cards have their background color match their monetary value, for example, a Deal Breaker (worth 5M) and a 5M card are both purple.

** No Chance or Community Chest, Go to Jail, auctions, and trading. It's all about getting properties and charging money on other players.

* InstantWinCondition: Subverted. A player can alter their property sets to ensure a three complete set win, but only in their turn. Doing this out of turn (due to a sudden realization) is not allowed, and doing it anyways will give opponents the opportunity [[NiceJobBreakingItHero take away the player's now known winning properties]].

** The rent for a complete Dark Blue set plus a Hotel is 12M or 15M (depending on how one interprets the building cards). Adding the Double the Rent! cards increases its value to 24M/30M for one card and '''48M/60M''' for two cards. Playing a double rent is enough to take away everyone's assets.

* RagsToRiches: Everyone starts with no money and properties. The players use their cards in hand to build a steady set of cash in the bank in order to avoid using properties as payment. Subverted in the sense that money is not the overall goal of the game and bankruptcy does not kick a player out of the game (unlike the board game).

* RidiculousFutureInflation: All currencies are increased to the millions mark. Downplayed with ''Millionaire Deal'', despite its flashier themes, money is counted in the thousands.

* ZillionDollarBill: Denominated in millions, so a M3m card [[note]]Most sites and this page simplify the notation as [number]M[[/note]] is worth three million Monopoly Dollars.

In ''Monopoly Deal'', the player's goal is to make three full sets of properties of different colors. Each set consists of properties of the same color but different street names. Each turn, a player draws two cards and plays up to three cards, either placing a property, adding money to their bank, or using an action card. Players can use payment cards to make their opponents pay from their bank or give up their properties if not enough cash is saved. Deal cards bypass payment and allow the player to instantly take away properties from their opponent.

There is also a video game version of the original ''Deal'' game for the [=PS3=], [=PS4=], UsefulNotes/Xbox360, and UsefulNotes/XboxOne.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The House and Hotel cards add rent value to properties. Like the standard ''Monopoly'' rules, a House can be only be placed on a complete set, and a Hotel then added after a House. Houses and Hotels cannot be added on Utilities and Railroads. By the time one of the building cards are played, someone has taken your property by either a Deal Breaker or by payment.
