The longest game of Monopoly ever lasted 70 days straight, although the average game time runs about 60 to 90 minutes—but with the release of Monopoly Speed, Hasbro has created a version of the beloved board game that takes just 10 minutes to play. The shorter version of the classic game is suited for two to four players and condenses aspects of gameplay by having all players roll and buy at once, which helps to cut down on the time spent waiting in between turns.
The fast-action game has players race against the clock to buy, trade and sell properties at a quicker pace than ever before. Inside the game, players will find four tokens, four die, as well as various cards to use during a quick round of Monopoly Speed.
