Advantages: Helps teach money to children

Disadvantages: supervisaion is recommended

This is a new take on the classic board game for children between 5 and 8. It is for 2 to 4 players and we have hours of fun playing it.

Instead of the famous London Streets the squares are fairground attractions like, the puppet show, paddle boats, haunted house for example and instead of houses and hotels you put ticket booths on them and charge people when the land. Instead of the jail there is the cafe where you simply miss ago. There are four train stations but these are named after colours and when a p[layer lands on these they roll again. The pieces are 4 different coloured cars instead of the boot, iron , dog etc. There are chance cards and the money is between £5, £4, £3, £2 and £1 notes. The board is smaller than the standard game.

The game lasts until a player runs out of money and the winner is the player with the most money when that happens. The games tend to last for about half an hour when 4 people are playing, not the hours and hours that the standard game can last. Sometimes if the game doesn't look like ending and the children are getting board we say two more laps and then we see who has the most money.

Supervision is needed to help with the rules and the money. I would highly recommend this board game for families with children between 5 - 10 that enjoy playing board games together.

Summary: A good family game.
