Toys and Games Reviews of Monopoly
Customer Review: What happened to just folding game boards in half?
Summary: 2 Stars
There's nothing to say about Monopoly that everyone doesn't already know, but why oh why does Hasbro insist on designing the board to fold twice? There's a permanent slit going halfway through the board to allow for an extra fold, so you can forget trying to play on a soft surface, and it looks awful. I wish I had bothered to find this out before ordering, because it really is a deal breaker, and the game just sits in a cupboard now.
In trying to cut down on space, Hasbro also made the lousy move of getting rid of the old money tray. It's now a flimsy plastic, with slots for putting the bills in sideways. I could possibly live with that, if the box could be closed with the bills in that position. Alas, the box isn't tall enough, so when you pack up you need to stack the money, then separate it into the slots when you're ready to play.
In short, a slightly wider, slightly taller box would have elevated this review from two stars to five. You got that, Hasbro?
Customer Review: Greed is a Beautiful Thing......Really
Summary: 4 Stars
"Monopoly" is a classic of veritable fame around the world, and the many editions stand testimony to it's enduring popularity as "THE" ownership game of our time.
Starting with a small amount of money, with a healthy streak of greed, ruthlessness, and underhanded exploitation, one can acquire enough property to establish themselves as the prime force to be reckoned with. The potential for wealth is very high, and will make former-friends out of your nearest and dearest quite well.
"Monopoly" is a great game, and it comes with shorter rules for a quicker game, if you have little time for the longer version of it. Of course, if you have the time, the longer version is much more fun and more challenging. Things can turn very quickly in the game, so there is no resting on your laurels here!
Good luck and happy hunting! Remember: money is everything and you have no friends in "Monopoly"!
Customer Review: What I Think About Monopoly
Summary: 3 Stars
Have you ever played Monopoly? This fun game was created by the Parker Brothers. You get to save money and own properties. Wether you believe it or not you can even go to jail!
This game is really cool! It has properties that you can own written around the edges of the board.This game also contains fake money. And also metal figurines,cards, and a set of dice.
The gist of the game is to go around the board as many times as possible and own as much money as you can. You also have to spend your money wisely. When you go to jail you have to pay a fine in order to get out. You get to own propertis such as,hotels and houses. Another thing about this game is to make your opponent go bankrupt . That's what this game is about.
I give this game Monopoly 3 out of 5 stars.It's a good game, but not the best game I ever played. I do recommend people to play monopoly!
Customer Review: Monoply's 'Mazin
Summary: 4 Stars
The reason this is rated 4 stars is because it is so much fun to feel like an adult and buy property, have money, pay tax, etc. Also you are just so involved in it. The only reason it's not a perfect five stars is because it takes so long to play. You can set a time, but then it's not as fun. It would probably take a whole day just to play one day if you stopped to have lunch dinner and breakfast. This game would be very good for sleepovers. I give this toy 5 stars educacion because it is just great for math - especially if your the banker. If littler kids play. They have to count numbers going around the board and adding up the dice. Also you have to pay attention so it helps you learn to keep your attention straight or someone may try and cheat you.Finally, it's rated 3 stars for durability because after one time of playing some of my board broke but it is still useable.
Customer Review: Ahhh...greed :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Now it is more fun to play with real money, in life that is..but as a kid, this was the most fun ever. The only time I hated playing this game was with my mom, because she always won. Now, when I played it later with my brothers, I would win. This game is just so much fun, because it really teaches you to think about investing. It also teaches you how to bribe your one brother into selling all his good cards. I think it is great, just keep your eye on the person playing banker.....have you ever noticed that they win? Ok, jokes over! You will find kids will pick a favorite piece and want it every time they play the game. I still get roped into playing this game now and then. It has a lot of childhood memories and good fun times associated with it. Buy it....common you can afford it. After all, it comes with a bunch of money.
