Let me start by saying, if you're a fan of Wicked or Monopoly (or both!), this game is pure magic. The moment I unboxed it, I was blown away by the stunning artwork and premium quality components. No missing pieces here - everything was perfectly intact.
The golden tokens are absolutely gorgeous - from Elphaba's hat to Glinda's crown. They add such a nice weighty feel to the game. And can we talk about how they've renamed houses and hotels to Munchkin Homes and Emerald Castles? Such a clever thematic touch!
Gameplay-wise, it maintains that classic Monopoly feel but with some delightful Wicked twists. The locations from Oz make property buying way more fun than regular Monopoly. Though I will say, as one reviewer mentioned, the math is simplified with Ozian coins instead of paper money. This does make games quicker (about 30 mins), which can be great for families with younger players.
The Defy Gravity and Totally Ozmopolitan cards are my favorite part - they really capture moments from the movie in such a fun way. One minute you're collecting coins, next minute you're losing them to some Ozian mischief!
My only minor complaint? The simplified economics might disappoint hardcore Monopoly strategists. But for casual game nights or Wicked fans, it's perfect. Just be careful with shipping - some reviewers reported damaged boxes.
Final verdict? 4.5/5 stars. It's become our go-to family game night choice, especially when we want something quicker than traditional Monopoly but still packed with strategy and fun.
