I recently purchased a box of Thintenisty. First off the first few times were fine, my guy complained of the stickiness of the condom but I had no problem with them. We had one break the other week, but being that Trojan has always been a good company I figure one's bound to break eventually. However diffrent day same thing happen and of course you don't find out to you pull out. I've now had to spend an extra $100 prevent any little ones. I also wanted to write to Trojan but couldn't find one number or e-mail address on their site to complain about it. After reading others reviews I no longer use Trojan's.

This is SO cool! The game goes much faster, you don't have to put away all the stray money after playing, and there are no more "Bank Robberies". LOVE IT!

My three children ages 13, 10, and 7 love playing Monopoly for some reason that baffles me. I was never a big Monopoly fan until I saw how much enjoyment my kids got out of the game. We have the classic version but I had my eye on this game because I love anything with an International theme. I was worried about how well the electronic banking machine would work and go over with the kids but my worries turned out to be unfounded.



The kids love the electronic banking machine and take turns as banker (based on another reviewer's suggestion) to keep the banking transparent. I also suspect they just want to play with the "toy" that makes satisfying sound effects during each transaction. The machine is quite durable and still works perfectly after much rough handling. As far as what another reviewer said about the machine in the World version being slower than the regular version, we only have the World version and it seems to run at a fine speed.



I find that the game is slightly more educational than the original. I like the fact that the properties are more realistically priced. My younger children are getting more familiar with the concept of thousands and millions. I also think it allows them to get used to the idea of electronic banking and remembering to check their balance before they spend. We enjoy reading facts about the cities from around the world and admit to never having heard of a couple of the cities such as Gdynia. Finally, since we have to spread our games over 2-3 days, this versionseems to be tidier when left mid-game than the original version.

I bought this on Amazon a few weeks ago and love it!I love traveling and I like the way that the spots you can land on are different countries.I think the pieces are really cute too.They also have cool facts about countries on the back of the cards.Besides that, who doesn't love the fact that this is electronic and you don't have to use paper money anymore??I give it 5 stars!

Ive written reviews on other condoms before so this is in no way bias.I buy all my condoms from Amazon (CondomMan) because I travel often to Dubai, Thailand and the Philippines.I make it a point to try different types and brands because no guy likes using a rubber but if I have too I dont want to feel like sandpaper on a dry day.



I tried using the new polyisoprene "SKYN" from Lifestyle thats suppose to be more nature feeling but they felt pretty thick to me.Im not saying they were bad either way though.I normally use the "ultrathin" from Trojan (thinest ive found so far) but the "thintensity" seem just as thin with better lube.This lube isnt jelly (I dont think) because it last for awhile and its not sticky.Im not huge but im not small either and these seemed to fit fine.The other reviewer made her boyfriend sound to big for normal condoms, he may need to try the gold wrapper.For this normal sized guy, this condom will be used often....not the same one though.

We love this Monopoly and play it all the time.Having the countries and different twists on the cards is really fun.Our favorite change is the electronic banker.

When deciding to purchase this, I though the electronic banking concept would be faster, more accurate, and less cumbersome than using Monopoly money.In my experience it has none of these advantages.



For some reason, they designed the banking unit to pause a couple seconds before and after every transaction - it must do the actual transaction instantly, but stops to make a cash-register-like sound.All player-to-player deals must go through the unit.You need the unit to check your exact balance.It really becomes a bottleneck to the pace and hampers deal-making.Assigning a non-playing banker may help.



Accuracy of the unit is not in question, but making sure the cards go in the desired way (debit vs. credit) requires the banker to pay close attention to whose card is whose, and the nature of the transaction.Relatively small color codes on the cards makes this job more difficult.Finally, keying in the data must also be correct - numbers and denomination - and only the banker sees the result.Not transparent like handing over cash between players or banker.I'm sure the unit itself is accurate, it's the error-prone nature of the transaction process that leads to mistakes.The banking unit could have been designed better in this regard.



In my opinion, forcing all of the game's action through one person (the banking unit operator) is just not as fun as dealing with cash.The game itself is fine, with its interesting selection of properties and inflated currency.

Though I'm on the Pill, my boyfriend always insists on using a condom just be on the safe side.We've always used Trojans, and have liked all of them except this one.Neither of us experienced that much pleasure from these condoms; the last time we used one, he even asked if there were something wrong since I wasn't making any noise!It's horrible to have the usual joy of your favorite position dampened by a bad condom.He compares it to cutting the finger off of a rubber glove and then stretching it over the penis.He said he felt twice as small in those things, since they were so thin they felt tight and uncomfortable.Instead of making sex better like some of their other condoms, it made it worse, since it didn't last as long or feel as good, and it made it hard for him to keep an erection.We also had a problem one morning when he found it was stuck to him after anal sex and didn't want to come off right away, because of how tight it was.Both of us would much more highly recommend other Trojans, like the ones in the Pleasure Pack and the classic originals.For something so thin it almost gives the feel of going bareback, Ultra Thins worked a lot better.

We have only played the game three (3) time. The digital banking device that keeps track of your balance stopped working in the middle of game play.So I pressed the reset button - Nothing.We put in fresh batteries - Nothing.Then everyone quit, because no one wanted to play with real paper money (from one of our various other sets).I then sent an email to Amazon website to alert them of the problem.I brought it during the lightening deals for $25 plus tax.I am just hoping the set I got was just defective, and not something that is worldwide. I would like Monopoly Here and Now World replaced ASAP! I still don,t know the difference between M and K.I wished it was in $ (Million & Thousands).

The "banking" part of this game is a nice added feature which makes things easier and faster.



I wish they picked better choices as far as countries go. Also not have all the "icon" pieces really sucks. You only get 6 of out like 20 something.



Still, if your a Monopoly fan it is worth adding to the collection if you can get it cheap (I got it for 15$)
