Monopoly: Moscow is a board game released in 1996 for 2–6 players, 120 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Player Elimination, and Trading.
Monopoly, like all the other Monopoly board games, except this is the Moscow edition. The entire game is written in Russian using the Cyrillic alphabet (as you would expect), even the rules. Properties are of areas in Moscow. Not for those who either cannot read Russian, or do not know Monopoly well enough to get by without the Russian. Set includes: 2 6-sided dice, board, properties, money, and 8 tokens - all identical in function to the original Monopoly. Can be played by non-Russian speakers, either with a different language edition, or on its own if you dare!
Monopoly: Moscow supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Monopoly: Moscow is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Monopoly: Moscow for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Monopoly: Moscow has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Monopoly: Moscow belongs to these categories: Economic and Negotiation. Its main mechanics are Set Collection, Player Elimination, and Trading.
