list of monopoly variants

should it exist? yea or nay? Radman the 12th (talk) 14:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure they're notable enough to merit a separate article. Variants probably would be fine to add to a collapsible list within this article. This is because many variants simply are "reskins" of the existing game with few if any major rule changes. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:05, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

that makes sense Radman the 12th (talk) 18:52, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-US tokens

There is mention of early Canadian wooden pieces, but also relevant is that (at least from 1960s to 1980s) there were only 6 tokens in Waddington's sets, one of which is not mentioned in the current article, namely a non-naval barge or ship.
