Toys and Games Reviews of Monopoly
Customer Review: Monopoly...ICK
Summary: 2 Stars
While monopoly is an OK game to play when you are completely and absolutely bored with nothing else to do...any other time it is a complete waste of time. Monopoly is a game based almost completely on luck, so you don't even learn anything like you do in most boring games. It takes forever to finish and about halfway through most people are ready to quit, my little sister once made me play all the way through with her and it took the whole day! It was awful. It's pretty durable except all that paper money gets lost really easily, and those pieces you move around the bored are also easily lost. With nothing else to do monopoly is a good waste of time, but any other time it is pure and simple a bad waste of time!Customer Review: Overall good but poor money tray design
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids love this game which is why I bought it. There are some design changes from the original Parker Brothers game. For example, the board folds twice into a square and the Chance and Community Chest cards are a different color. That didn't bother me. What does bother me every time I play this game is the incredibly poor design of the money tray compared to the original game. This money tray is a joke and hardly worth using given how much trouble is involved in trying to keep the money from constantly falling over. Clearly the person who designed it didn't bother to test it. The manufacturer needs to go back to the previous Parker Brother money tray design, which was great and so convenient.Customer Review: great way to teach kids (or yourself) about money
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game with a lot of real world lessons. I think it's a great way to teach kids about money management, although the same could be said for its affect on adults. This is a game that can take an evening, depending on how good everybody is, but if you're looking to move things along, a great way to do so is to pass out the properties randomly at the beginning of the game.
For those of your looking to upgrade your set, depending on how long it's been since you're seen a "new" Monopoly, some things have changed. The money colors have changed and a lot of the wooden or metal pieces are now plastic. More or less though, it's the same great game you remember.
Customer Review: A Classic... but always such a long game!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This game always takes a long time, and very young kids can get pretty mad at paying mommy for staying at her hotel!!! When they lose, it's pretty tough on them too, as they put so much time in on the game and it can be a long while before the other players are out of the game - leaving the very young children bored or annoyed until the game is over. I guess that sounds like a sorry sport of a kid, but I'm really talking 4 and 5 year old kids... and this game is too long and too much for them.For adults, it's a fun and classic game... but it is almost always a very long game! There are lots of little pieces and lots of cards and money... so careful not to lose them all!
Customer Review: Do you still need to be convinced to buy this game?
Summary: 5 Stars
What can anyone possibly say about Monopoly that has not already been said? The game is fun, it is a classic;it is educational, economical, when compared to other games and CD-ROM software for your PC. Plus...you played it as a kid yourself, right? Was it not fun, challenging. Did it not make the time go by fast? Was it not the perfect game for a rainy day, or on a cold Saturday night when there was nothing to do? I have a 10 and a 7 year old child that are fast becomming experts at the game. What a fabulous way to teach them about money, budgeting, and economics. And besides, it makes for great family fun
This is what makes this classic game so priceless!
