Product Description: Join Rich Uncle Pennybags for a day at the Boardwalk amusements. Set up ticket booths, then add, subtract and even multiply as you collect fees when other players land on your booths. Chance cards send you around the colorful carnival board: maybe you'll go to the fireworks - or pay $3 to take the tramway to the restroom! Sooner or later, somebody will run out of money and the game ends. Count up your cash: if you've got the most, you win this junior game that's big fun! For 2 to 4 players. Game includes: game board, deck of 24 chance cards, 48 ticket booths, play money, die and four car movers. Packaging art may vary. Editorial Review: Just like its big brother, Monopoly Jr. is big-time fun for everyone! Spend a day at the amusement park. Ride the roller coaster, bumper cars, or Ferris wheel. How about a game of miniature golf or a visit to the haunted house? It's simple--set up ticket booths on as many boardwalk amusements as possible, then build your fortune collecting the entrance fees as other players land on your properties. If someone else already owns an amusement, you pay up. Watch out--if one player owns both amusements of the same color, you must pay them double! So have some fun. And don't forget--pass GO, collect $2. --Alison Golder Customer Reviews: Rating:

What a fun game!
One of my favorite games is Monopoly. My children are still too young for "regular" monopoly so thought we would give this a try. We have NOT been disappointed. It is helping my 4 & 5 year old learn how to count money and my 7 year old who I bought the game for just loves it - even though he has the worst luck and loses just about every game. Rating:

Little ones can play too!
My younger grandchildren would always beg to play Monopoly when us olders were playing and would get angry when told no. This version is great for the younger school age child. My 4 & 5 year olds can play this to,with a little help.Monopoly Junior Edition Rating:

Fun for the family
My son actually discovered Monopoly online, and wanted a game to try at home. We opted for this since it just seemed easier and quicker than a whole game of the grown up version. It's really a great way to teach kids the game of Monopoly - the concept is fun, the money is easy to use, and the game doesn't last forever and ever. We play regularly. THe pieces are big enough for little fingers to handle. I highly recommend this. Rating:

Great for Kids!
I purchased this for my kids for Christmas. Although the game's age range is 5-8, I think the age could be higher. My 6 year old can play this with a lot of help, and my almost 9 year old loves it, and I think will enjoy it for a few more years. It is a boardwalk themed game and since we live in NJ, the boardwalk is a well-loved activity for us. If you know the original Monopoly, it is based on Altantic City Streets, which of course to my kids also means the Boardwalk (even though sadly, Donald Trump is taking down the last amusement pier left in Atlantic City), so this is a nice take on a classic game without being too "commerical" like the Nickelodeon versions that we have of every other game. I would buy it again hands-down. Rating:

great game for kids
My 5 year old daughter and her 6 year old cousin love this game. My husband and I love it too. I have always loved the grown up version, but like other reviewers have said, it is a little brutal for young kids. I think this version is great as it teaches basic math (you have to pay double? you are only adding 3 plus 3) and is more fun from a kid perspective - what kid cares about owning Boardwalk when they could have the roller coaster?? Also, I think the reviewers who are complaining that this game doesn't involve strategy are forgetting the most important rule of board games: you can change the rules. That's the funnest part of Monopoly. It's your game after all, why can't you say to your kid that they are allowed to choose whether to buy a ticket booth or not? Hello, this is America, make your own rules. Duh! |
