The Joy of Car-Themed Monopoly Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you might not be able to hit the literal redline on a car-themed Monopoly board, you\u2019ll still get that adrenaline rush when you force your family into bankruptcy during a \u201cfriendly\u201d game over the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monopoly, the game of acquisition and shady negotiation practices (there\u2019s one in every family), has dozens of special editions, but these car-themed ones will delight enthusiasts of all ages. Ranging from NASCAR to classic cars, it\u2019s pretty remarkable what happens when automotive culture meets this family-favorite real estate game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put together this list of car-themed Monopoly games but couldn\u2019t rank them in any particular order. However, we\u2019ll walk you through the list so you can find your personal favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: NASCAR Collector’s Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monopoly<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

There are a few NASCAR Monopoly editions to pick from. Dale Earnhardt has his own edition where you purchase his race cars, while the My Fantasy Drivers edition allows you to decide where the drivers go, peeling and placing the labels where you want (the driver labels are static cling). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, while playing Monopoly NASCAR Collector\u2019s Edition, you and your opponents race around the board to acquire both car and driver teams instead of properties. Of all the NASCAR editions, this one is our favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Collector\u2019s Edition game was made a while ago, it won\u2019t include newer faces like Ryan Blaney, Clint Bowyer, or Austin Dillon. However, NASCAR fixtures like Dale Jr., Rusty Wallace, Bill Elliott, and Jeff Gordon are still up for grabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of artistry, the Collector\u2019s Edition ranks high with its neon colors and the graphic in the middle of Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon racing to the finish line. Designed by Sam Bass \u2013 the artist who worked on creating car designs like the Rainbow Warrior \u2013 the color and beautiful representation of NASCAR aren\u2019t surprising on this game board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass also had a hand in shaping the pewter pieces, not forgetting to include things you see at every NASCAR race, like the small figurine waving the checkered flag or the semi-trucks you usually see parked in the middle of the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> As far as where to get your hands on this NASCAR Monopoly board, eBay is a pretty good option. We check Amazon every now and again, but it’s hit or miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Mustang 40th Anniversary Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Mustang<\/a><\/figure><\/div>
\"Mustang<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monopoly is strictly forbidden at my house during the holidays (not my fault people in my family can\u2019t buy the right properties), but I might be able to get my classic-car-lover dad to reinstate it with this edition. Players take a spin around the board with game pieces unique to this set \u2013 a pewter tire, front grille, the running Mustang logo, and a 1965 GT Fastback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To gain control of the board, players can buy, sell, or trade Mustang models like the original that debuted at the 1964 World\u2019s Fair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Monopoly board celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Mustang in 2004, so it won\u2019t include the 5th, 6th, or 7th generation<\/a> Mustangs. The 2004 version of the famous pony car was the last of the\u00a0\u201cNew Edge\u201d models\u00a0before Ford restyled the Mustang in 2005.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> It\u2019s usually available on Amazon (fingers crossed).<\/p>\n\n\n

#3: Classic Volkswagen Monopoly<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Classic<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

In this reimagined version of Monopoly, players trade VW money to collect vintage makes and models that replace the board’s properties (you can lay claim to the classic VW Fastback in place of Boardwalk, for example). Carports and garages replace houses and hotels, but players can still collect that extra rent when opponents land on their car title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you land on the wash bay, be prepared to shell out $100, not to mention the $200 for vehicle registration. It makes me wonder if the DMV would be interested in partnering with Monopoly to make their own version of the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> Out of all the car-themed Monopoly games here, this one might be harder to come by. We recommend checking the VW Monopoly page<\/a> on BoardGameGeek periodically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Corvette<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Maybe you can’t afford them in real life, but in Corvette Monopoly, you can simultaneously own an original 1953 model, a vintage shark coupe, and a classic stingray. Of course, that’s only if you have keen financial skills! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic Corvettes take the place of properties while players navigate the board to command the entire collection of cars. The board still has Monopoly’s classic look, but the Corvette DNA can be found in the darker, monochromatic accents that highlight the playing surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> This special Corvette edition of Monopoly is usually\u00a0available on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\nJust as cool as a set of mag wheels, this Monopoly board makes a great gift. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

#5: Ford 100th Anniversary Collector’s Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ford<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

While there are other variations of Ford Monopoly, the 100th Anniversary Collector’s Edition goes back to the Blue Oval’s roots with the 1903 Model A, which automotive history buffs may recall as Ford’s first-ever product. According to The Henry Ford Museum<\/a>, the 1903 Model A Runabout produced eight horsepower from its two-cylinder engine and cost $850 brand new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a tribute board to Ford’s first century, it includes unique racing dollars and six collectible pewter tokens: The 1914 Model T, the ’32 Deuce Coupe, a ’48 F-1 truck, a classic ’55 Thunderbird, the iconic 1964 Mustang, the still futuristic looking 2003 Ford GT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with other notable classics like the 1949 Ford Custom Convertible, players can also purchase powertrains like a Flathead V8 in their bid to win the board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> This Ford 100th Anniversary Monopoly game is usually available on Amazon. Everyone knows a Ford fan, so this is an excellent gift to pass the time over Christmas break. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\n
\nIt’s even okay to play this with Chevy fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

#6: Monopoly Cars 2 Race Track<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monopoly<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For kids who are more into Lightning McQueen than Chevys and Fords,\u00a0Cars 2<\/em>\u00a0Monopoly will be an absolute blast! Unlike the other editions, this Monopoly board is a perfect circle and is a proper race track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is modified to keep children engaged, as the starting recommended player age is lowered to five. Instead of rolling dice, kids give Lightning McQueen a push to see what number he lands on and how many spaces they can move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True to form, the properties are replaced with familiar Cars<\/em> characters like the lovable tow truck, Mater, or secret agent Holley Shiftwell. Your kids might be too young to drive, but they can experience the excitement of being first-time car owners while they try to leave their friends in the dust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> This kid-friendly version of Monopoly is available on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n

Nintendo teamed up with Monopoly to turn out a Mario Kart edition for the Gamer series, which features popular Super Mario characters. You can crush your opponents by buying properties \u2013 but Mario Kart style! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of avoiding the lava in Bowser\u2019s Castle or sliding off Rainbow Road into oblivion, you can buy those and other tracks with coins instead of Monopoly\u2019s usual properties and paper cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pick between Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, and Toad. Each character is tucked in their color-coordinated race cars and ready to toss some shells. Just like those Mario Kart marathons in college when you should have been studying, playing the Monopoly version also means avoiding banana peels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> The Mario Kart edition of Monopoly is usually available on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"N\u00fcrburgring<\/a><\/figure><\/div>
\"N\u00fcrburgring<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The merciless track where automakers\u00a0push their vehicles to the limit<\/a>\u00a0is now available for your kitchen table. You can own pieces of the \u201cGreen Hell\u201d that many a performance car has sunk its teeth into, like the Schwedenkreuz (Swedish Cross) or Galgenkof curves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to pay up when you land on the Nordschleife Zufahrt (The North Loop Driveway), but there are cool pieces to move around the board, like a tire, a helmet, or an F1 car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Google Translate handy and use it to learn a new language (Eine neue Sprache lernen) because this version of Monopoly is in German (Beeindruckend!). The go-to jail square is still the same, if not written in German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy<\/strong>: In the past, we have found it for sale via the N\u00fcrburgring shop<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9: Shinola Detroit Edition Monopoly <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Shinola<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

\"Shinola<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set in the automotive strong-arm of Detroit, Shinola\u2019s Monopoly game pays homage to its hometown. The pieces have a more antiqued look than other Monopoly games, symbolizing the Motor City\u2019s culture. Game pieces include a record player, pocket watch, Yorkie, piggy bank, handheld iron, and a car that looks like a tiny vintage Maserati<\/a> ready to speed around the board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riddled with references to Detroit, like Boardwalk and Park Place being replaced with Woodward and Jefferson avenues, we can\u2019t help but rank it among our favorites. The only inaccuracy on this board is that car insurance is just $75 \u2013 what a dream to pay only that much for insurance in Michigan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> This special Monopoly edition is available through the Shinola Detroit website<\/a> for around $400. This is the most expensive game on our list, but it\u2019s also one of the nicest. The money and pieces are stored under the board made from black lacquered solid mahogany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10: Snap-On Tools Collector’s Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Snap-On<\/a><\/figure><\/div>
\"Snap-On<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The mechanics and gearheads in your family might be excited to compete in the Snap-on Tools version of Monopoly. To navigate the board and “fix” your way to victory, you must select your favorite tool, like that signature Snap-on socket that put the company on the map in the 1920s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The properties have fun names, like Pliers Place, Roll Cart Corridor, and Wrench Way. Scanner Boulevard replaces Boardwalk, so expect a heavy diagnostic fee if you land there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might also get tense when you land on the money-guzzling vintage van that demands you pay $200 or when you get caught by the $75 towing service square. However, no one is better at figuring out tough problems than mechanics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Buy:<\/strong> We bought a version on Amazon a couple of years ago for about $140, but it doesn’t seem to be available there anymore. You might have better luck with eBay or an Etsy shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car-Themed Monopoly Games Summary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The special edition Monopoly boards above have been some of our favorites over the years. Any one of them will make for a great birthday or Christmas gift and will be a fun, even if slightly competitive, way to pass the time after those holiday meals with family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Cars 2<\/em>\u00a0Monopoly board is great for kids, while the Corvette and Mustang ones are great for a loved one who can’t get enough of those classics. Either way, you can’t go wrong with the car-themed Monopoly games on this list!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
