Toys and Games Reviews of Monopoly Junior Edition
Customer Review: Great version for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my daughter's 6th birthday. My husband, daughter, and I sat down to play this and had a great time. She caught on really fast. The game is set up with amusment park or fair type attractions. This game does end in a resonable time frame. The dollar amounts are from 1-5 making adding and subtracting quite easy. It comes with 4 different colored cars for movers instead of different characters like traditional Monopoly, plastic ticket booths instead of houses/hotels, and chance cards (no community chest). It still has the essence on Monopoly though. This game is fun for parents who would like to paly something a little more challenging with their children.Customer Review: Sorry. . .

. . .but I just can't get excited by this game.I learned how to play "Monopoly" at the age of 5. My eldest son learned how to play at 8. My kids enjoy the real game. They don't enjoy the "kids" version.
Kids are brighter than most adults give them credit for. The original game is a wonderful teaching tool on a number of levels. I don't see the point in "dumbing down" when it is not necessary.
Parents, teach your children how to play the REAL GAME. Then, there can be some valuable family time. The adults will too quickly get bored with this version -- and frankly, so will the kids.
Don't waste your time or money.
Customer Review: Not nearly as horrible as actual Monopoly !
Summary: 4 Stars
I played Monopoly Junior the other day.
It wasn't half bad.
Because, basically, Monopoly is the worst board game ever created, and every single rule in it adds , so when you start removing rules to simplify it, you necessarily make it a better game.
At the limit, you end up with a box labeled "Monopoly Ultimate" that contains a single sheet of paper. This sheet of paper has the words "go read a book, or watch TV, or something" on it.
That is the best possible variant of Monopoly that can ever exist.
...and Monopoly Junior is a good step in that direction.
Customer Review: Great game
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5 year old got this game for christmas. He loves to play it. It's fast paced which is perfect for younger children who often times have a short attention span. This game is great for teaching some counting as well. My son really likes to be the banker. The other day we played with my parents, they had a lot of fun. They even plan on buying it so my son can play when he visits them. Later on I'll teach him how to play the real monopoly game but for now we'll stick with this. As a child I played the monopoly game with my brother. We often quit because it was too long. I feel this game is definitely worth the money.Customer Review: Great fun and very educational
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Monopoly for kids, and my kids love it! From my 4 year old to my 9 year old, it is one of their favorite games. Addition and subtraction skills are used for this one, and the theme is very entertaining.What 7 year old wants to buy Park Place? Instead, they get to buy a cotton candy stand, a ferris wheel, a haunted house attraction. Then they collect money when others visit!
It's a day at the amusement park, and it's a great theme for the little ones.
It's more fun, even for the older kids, than the regular Monopoly game. I highly recommend this to every game-playing family!
