"Play your Gran without her cheating!" should be how this PC version of the board game is advertised. The computer looks after all the money exchanges, player movement, rent etc... leaving you to concentrate solely on the key decisions such as buying, selling, auctioning etc...

The game is entirely pointer controlled, using left clicks to make all selections. As the game is turn based, there is no time element to the game, therefore it doesn't require fast reactions of any kind. Head-mouse and eye-control users with fairly accurate control of their cursors will have no problems clicking on the various tabs required. However, some such as the up and down icons for raising or lowering auction bids may require a use of a magnifiaction feature to select them.

Geta free 60 min trial of the game at: http://www.spintop-games.com/board_game_download/monopoly_by_parker_brothers.html?gclid=CKqdgq7nxJ4CFZ1h4wodYkSrpg
