Monopoly Junior

As a family we enjoy playing board games especially on a wet Sunday afternoon! My youngest son is 5 and it is not always easy finding a game that he can play with his older 10-year-old brother that both will enjoy. We already have a full size monopoly but the game is just too involved for my younger son to fully grasp. Last Christmas he asked for a new board game, not too much to ask in this electronic age! Looking around the shops I spotted junior monopoly and felt this would be an idea game for all our family to play. What's in the box? *************** There is a playing board, 4 plastic coloured cars, money in various denominations, a set of ...  Read the complete review

I was recently introduced to the delights of Monopoly Junior during a visit to my two nephews aged 5 and 7 - even before I'd got my coat and shoes off I was being asked if I'd like to play 'nopoly' with them. It was new, a birthday present, and nobody was going to get in or out of the house without a ride on 'The Rollercoaster Money Game' as it's dramatically described on the box.

In the midst of the credit crunch, just imagine a world where you can be a greedy capitalist, a rapacious property developer and even (whisper it quietly) a b*a*n*k*e*r and still get away with it... Those were the days! Still, if you're under about 12 and the recession/depression hasn't seriously entered your consciousness yet (your parents haven't asked you to take a voluntary 50% cut in your pocket money to bail out the Bank of Mum and Dad), you can still play Junior Monopoly with a clear conscience. Joking apart, it's generally a well thought-out game. Not just a cut-down version of the adult Monopoly, this uses a much more appealing scenario ...  Read the complete review

This is a board game i have played quite a few times in work with the children. As it is meant for younger children it is a much more simple version of the original board game. Unlike the original game where you buy properties that are in London, this one uses fair ground amusements as places to buy. This makes the game a lot more appealing and more on the wavelength of a younger child. Monopoly Junior is aimed at children aged 5-8 years. The game can be played with 2-4 players. The object of the game is to be the person with the most amount of money at the end of the game or when another player runs out of money. To set up the game you need to ...  Read the complete review
