Spend your Money Wisely!

Professor Maria Heller (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest), who is a visiting professor at our department in Bergen, pointed me to a couple of interesting Hungarian communist versions of Monopoly that I was not aware of - Gazdálkodj Okosan! (Spend your Money Wisely!) and Takarékoskodj! (Save!). The real thing was obviously forbidden and condemnded as capitalist filth in Hungary during the communist period, but the state made sure that healthy alternatives were available. Not sure if they are any fun to play (most likely they are not, and that may well be the whole idea), but it is interesting to see the relatively drastical change in game mechanics between the capitalist destructive pleasures of the original and the the more friendly parallell-track work-and-consume mechanics of the progressive versions. Read more about the games at Monopoly Lexicon (in which you may also want to check out your own contry in the index).
