Chris,I couldn't agree with you more about the Speed Die. It was very unfortunate that Hasbro chose to make the players use it, as it was a dramatic gameplay shift from all prior US & World MONOPOLY Championships, and forced us as storytellers to have to teach our audiences about it so that they didn't ask out loud why there was a 3rd die in the game that they had never seen.
In fact, Ken Koury, who is featured in the film, does not count the 2009 US & World Championships as a true championship, and says that Matt McNally is still the Classic MONOPOLY US Champion.
