This is Hungarian version of the monopoly game that, like Parker Brothers', must have been issued around 1935, because the currency Pengõ was in use in Hungary from 1927 till mid 1946. In addition the banknotes have a kind of "engines-pattern" that resembles that of Parker Brothers' but with 2 engines and 2 houses left and right from the circle-with-number-in-the-center. Everything indicates an imitation rather than a license of Parker Brothers.

The lid of the box shows a slightly reduced copy of the oblong game board in the colors red, beige and black.
The long sides always have 12 fields between the corners whereas the short ones have 7 spaces. Therefore the streets of the 3rd and 7th group are on 2 sides of the board. The first group is made up of districts of PEST, those of the 5th group of districts of BUDA, whereas all other spaces are streets of BUDAPEST. The back side of the pretty beige colored property deeds is unprinted.

The streets have no prices on the game board, and the groups are marked by stripes, triangles, crosses and circles. There are but 3 stations which in addition are not situated in the middle of the sides. On the other hand there are also 3 public works, viz. besides the Electric- and Gas Works there is Telephone as well. There are 3 tax spaces. Really Hungarian is the reward of 500 P you get from each player on your name day (Névnap).

The lid and the board's midfield shows an illustration of the New York skyline with the remark "statutory protected".

In the center-area is only 1 space for cards being the 24 orange Chance-cards you have to pull arriving on a Wheel of Fortune space. Instead of "Just visiting in Jail" you are going to relax at the Margit Isle (in the middle of the river Donau). You are not sent to this place in the 3rd corner because there you'll join in a lottery. There you have to throw immediately once more. You'll receive 10-fold in Pengôs from the bank the number of pips thrown. Should you throw 12 you even get the first prize of 10,000 Pengôs. Instead of Free Parking you'll land in the Sanatorium. You may be sent to it as well by a Chance card, because "You are exhausted, you have to be treated - Go to the Sanatorium!". It is a kind of jail anyhow, because here again you have to omit 3 turns.

In the inner box is an insert of black plastic containing 5 trays for the equipment. The 7 are printed in black on colored paper in the denominations 10 - 50 - 100 - 200 - 500 - 1000 and 5000 Pengô. The tokens consist of 6 colored round discs of timber. There are 32 beige houses of raw timber and 12 red hotels. One die is black and one red.
