Monopoly Junior Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

Monopoly Junior by Hasbro is basically a simplified version of the classic Monopoly game and it's suitable for children between the ages of 5-8. This is the very first board game we bought for our son. Actually, he chose it himself as a treat for being good. Normally, it retails at around £10, but it only cost us £2 from the local charity shop ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit to having a soft spot for the original version of the game and can remember spending many hours as a child playing the game with my sister. Junior Monopoly now allows an even younger audience (5-8 year olds) to learn the joys of being a tycoon. Essentially Junior Monopoly has changed the board from being a rather odd ...  Read the complete review

Okay- confession time..... I was beaten at monopoly by an 8 year old I was babysitting for! Years of shame have now been excorcised with the discovery of Junior Monopoly (hellishly hard to type correctly!) I have a 5 year old Monpoly-fiend of a son and this is what we reckon to it: Description ----------- Junior board game ...  Read the complete review

Even though other people might dis agree with me, I think that thew new version of monopoly is bette - Advantages: New version - Disadvantages: Ages

A couple of weeks ago I had to buy a present for my 5-year-old nephew. Down I went to Hamleys and after a lot of looking around I picked up “Junior Monopoly”. Just yesterday my nephew came to our place to spend the night and guess what? He bought the “Junior Monopoly” with him and within an hour of his arrival ...  Read the complete review

This an okay game but the older version is better - Advantages: Pratically anyone can play and understand it - Disadvantages: It's a bit to plain

During my college holidays i help out at a chidrens playscheme, there were many games on offer, this being one of them. As a general rule, most people learn how to play monopoly from other people, not fron reading through the rule book. I was given the responsibility of entertaining some children (ages 5-11), and they asked me ...  Read the complete review

Junior Monopoly is a very clever adaption of the classic game aimed - not surprisingly - at children. The gameplay is very straightforward, yet has managed to maintain a good deal of the essence of the full game. However, it does suffer from one flaw that can make games that are closely balanced interminable - that is, after the ticket ...  Read the complete review

If you have younger children from the age group appx 6-years upwards then this is a game I would recommend. The board is of course is set out very similar too the original monopoly but has child related places instead of names of streets, and all places are grouped in pairs and colours along with paper money. The idea of the games is ...  Read the complete review
