Compact and sleek, Monopoly Revolution is the first design in the game’s 75-year history to feature a completely new board. All the traditional game playing features remain the same, but the Monopoly Revolution also includes ‘here and now’ pricing, an [electronic game pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board) that tracks players’ money (no more corrupt bankers) and sound effects and song clips. Monopoly Revolution will be available in Fall 2010 for $35. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Redesigned Classic Games:** Opportunity for game companies to reimagine and update traditional board games for a modern audience. - **Compact Travel Games:** Market potential for creating smaller and more portable versions of popular board games for on-the-go play. - **Gamification of Traditional Games:** Using technology and interactive elements to enhance the gaming experience and attract new players to classic board games. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Board Game Industry:** Chance for board game manufacturers to revitalize their products and appeal to a wider demographic through innovative redesigns. - **Toy Industry:** Opportunity for toy companies to create travel-friendly versions of popular board games, tapping into the growing market for portable entertainment. - **Technology Industry:** Potential for tech companies to develop electronic components and enhancements for traditional board games, adding a new layer of interactivity and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bestselling Board Game Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-expansion-packs.md) - [Interactive Entertainment Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-entertainment-board-games.md) - [Adult-Exclusive Reimagined Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl.md) - [Boardgame-Inspired Lifesize Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-lifesized-travel-edition.md) - [Artistic Board Game Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-deluxe-edition.md) - [Mobile Economy Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-go.md) - [Adorable Remixed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokidoki-edition-monopoly.md) - [Mash-Up Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-scrabble.md) - [Fashion Doll Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-barbie-edition.md)
