Whoville-opoly is played the same way as regular Monopoly, but, of course, this version seems much more fun. Instead of having the typical Monopoly game characters, you could be the Grinch, Max, the Heart That Grew Three Sizes That Day, the Rare Who Roast Beast, a stocking... More often than not, I choose to be the Rare Who Roast Beast.
If you recall, the original version sends you to jail. Not this one! If you're being punished, you're sent to suffer in the Grinch's Cave. As well, instead of buying houses and hotels, you start purchasing presents, and then make your way up to Christmas trees.
The squares have some awesome names too. You have Eggnogger Cloggers, Bloobedy Blah Blah, Whoville Town Square. The names don't get to be any more sane either. Also, where the original Monopoly has multiple railroads, Whoville-opoly has "presents" instead: Who Boxes, Who Packages, Who Bags, Who Tags.
I could go on about how much fun this Christmas favourite is, but I think you get the idea. If you're ever at my house during the Christmas season, Allie and I would be more than happy to play with you. I warn you, though, she can be like the Grinch: She takes great joy in running other Whos into the ground, and reaping all the rewards for herself (then again, she is a chartered accounting student, so that explains everything).
Happy Who-lidays!
