Hasbro Monopoly zAPPed Edition
Old meets new with Monopoly zAPPed Edition, which combines the classic board game with Apple's iPad (not included). Buy property, pass Go and avoid Jail with your friends and family just as before -- but here, the iPad acts as the banker (money has been replaced by credit cards) and the dice keeper, and offers mini-games in the place of the traditional Community Chest and Chance cards.
This edition is particularly effective for families with small children, as the more advanced/detailed portions of the game -- such as banking -- are handled by the iPad and the mini-games offer interaction to keep the players engaged, which might help with young ones lacking the attention span to complete the original game.
