10 On Tuesday

I hate the classic game of Monopoly. When my kids were young we had Monopoly Jr. and that wasn't too bad. It only took 30 minutes to play. Then a couple of years ago I bought myself the Big Bang Theory edition of Monopoly and to my surprise it was actually fun to play.

Over the years I've seen all kinds of Monopoly sets geared to specific sports teams, animals, etc. While looking for something else on Amazon last week I came across a few versions that looked interesting. Which one would you like to try?

1. Cheaters Edition:

• Follow, bend or break the rules to win the Cheaters Edition of the Monopoly board game. Cheating is part of the game
• Don't get caught! This Monopoly game includes a plastic handcuff unit that "chains" cheating players to Jail space
• Cheat cards encourage players to cheat and which cheat to attempt. Complete a cheat to get a reward; fail a cheat and pay the consequences

With chance and community chest cards, players can become pizza connoisseurs, or try something fun such as entering a pizza-making contest
