McGuinness-McDermott Foundation are also responsible for releasing a V8 Supercars edition and in late 2008 will be releasing an Icons of South Australia charity edition.

Two other unofficial editions were released with relation to Kasoft Software. They were released as part of the Amstrad CPC prototype.[3]

Belgium

There have been several editions of Belgian boards, in Dutch and in French. Some of the editions also use bilingual game boards.[7] Street names taken from cities across the country equally divided between the Dutch and French speaking halves of the kingdom. To date, there have been no city editions. Even so, with anniversary/deluxe and other special editions included, there are some 53 listed versions using these variants, including translations of other variants (FIFA World Cup, Star Wars, etc.).[7]

The currency values in the Belgian edition are in francs. The bills that come with the set show 20, 100, 200, 400, 1,000, 2,000, and 10,000 francs. The property and penalty prices are presumed to match the new billset, with the starting cash equal to 30,000 francs (1,500 x 20).

In the political turmoil after the 2007 federal elections, Hasbro decided to postpone the production of a renewed version of Belgian Monopoly. The company wanted to take a national survey on which streets and/or cities needed to be included. Because of the separatist slant of certain newly elected politicians, 'Belgium' as a single theme for the board game (as opposed to three board games: a Flemish, Wallonian and bilingual Brussels Monopoly) seemed too risky a concept.[citation needed]


City Editions

Starting in 2000, Hasbro and TFL Games began releasing special -opoly editions based on cities in Belgium. The original Brussels edition got a facelift with a new board and standard dollar values and playing pieces. A number of Wallonian cities also got special editions, including Namur (capital of Wallonia), Liège, Charleroi, and Arlon, all in the Wallonian province along with 1 Flemish city Antwerp.

Chile

Metropoli - Each square is an important street from Santiago.

China

China: 3 editions including a China edition, special Beijing edition released during the 2008 Olympics as well as a Hong Kong Monopoly edition.

In Chinese-speaking regions (including Hong Kong), the game is also called 大富翁 (lit. rich person), with most of them being unauthorized clones of the original. Hasbro eventually gave a new official Chinese title: 地產大亨 (lit. Real Estate Tycoon). Many Monopoly game sets are relabled as a result.[6] But the Hong Kong version is officially branded as 大富翁.

However, many Monopoly clones still use the old Chinese name. When Chinese developers start making computerized versions of Monopoly clones, the clone games diverge from the original in board layout and game rules, but the key elements of dice rolls and land acquisitions remain.

In mid 1990s, Monopoly was sold in Mainland China under a different name (强手棋), which does not have localized place names.
