Advantages: Disney themed, good game

Disadvantages: None

Disney Monopoly is great for kids (and big kids!). I got this game for Christmas a few years ago and loved it! It retails at about £30, which I think is fairly reasonable in terms of the price of board games generally.

The character pieces are Disney characters instead of the usual Monopoly pieces and all the places are Disney films instead of the usual London streets.

It's mostly exactly the same as standard Monopoly in that the game play is carried out the same, the board layout is the same, it's just the details that are changed to be Disney themed.

Instead of the normal houses and hotels, in the Disney version you get Snow White Cottages or Cinderella Castles!

Instead of the railway stations, they have Disney modes of transport, including Cruella's car and Aladdin's flying carpet!

Playing the game with children helps them to learn to interact with other people and to start to understand the value of money. It can also help them to learn the concept of losing, although some children don't like this!

I think that this is a fantastic idea for introducing youngsters to the old time favourite game of Monopoly and they'll relate to the characters and films available. Even I love it and I'm a very big kid now!

Summary: Disney Monopoly is fantastic
