A deluxe Monopoly set is as much a display piece as a game. These editions swap the standard cardboard board and plastic pieces for die-cast tokens, wooden houses, glass or wood-framed boards and cases made to sit on a coffee table or shelf.
The six sets below range from an anniversary edition with ten gold-tone tokens to a glass-board set with acrylic houses. Board sizes, tokens and storage come from each product’s listing page. We have not played these sets ourselves, and quality and country-of-make claims are the makers’ own.
