Monopoly Junior Board Game for 4 Players, Ages 5 and up (Amazon Exclusive)

Got this game because my 4yo expressed interest in classic monopoly when we were traveling, but it was too difficult to play with him. This monopoly junior on the other hand is PERFECT when it comes to difficulty. After a couple rounds, he knows exactly what to do and gets very excited. He even knows the names of the different locations you can purchase, and is putting in some basic math skills with adding and subtracting. The money are all single bills so it's easy for a child to count and sort. You also learn the basics of taking turns. Great introductory game to a classic. There's really no strategy in monopoly, but at least it gets him interested in board games in general, and hopefully a gateway into more complex games.

This is so easy to play and does not take forever like classic monopoly. It is a great game. My 5 year old loves it.

Great entry point for young kids learning how to count.

I love Monopoly and was curious how the Jr. version was going to appeal to the kiddos. The action is similar to the regular version: you go around the board collecting properties and charge a fee when an opponent lands on your property (and vice versa). In the kid-friendly Jr. version, you automatically buy the unoccupied properties you land on and, instead of buying homes and then hotels, you make a single payment to claim the spot (by placing a cute picture of your game piece at the top). This takes out the strategy part of the decision-making and makes the process less stress-inducing (insert flash-back to an intense regular Monopoly game-night experiences : ). Also, the spaces get a kid-friendly make-over. Think Movie Theatre, PIzza Shop, Library, etc... Not to worry, Boardwalk and Park Place are still there. There is some strategy involved, but it's mostly luck. For example, the chance cards direct you to a color square vs. specific location (eg.: instead of "Go to the Movie Theatre" it would say "Go to a purple space"). The player than decides which purple space to land on. Either that or we've misunderstood the rules :). Overall, the kids love to play it (both under 10). Of course, there is still a few dramatic "I wanted that one" moments, but overall, 5 stars. Can't wait to play the real thing in a few years!

It was a good buy. Kept the grandkids occupied for quite awhile. 👍

Love it! Learning, counting, sharing,a very good game that teaches while having fun!

Find exactly what we were expecting the kids liked it I would recommend

I got this to add to a collection of Monopoly board games I own. I thought this would be a good idea to have around the house as the full game is a bit to complicated for when my young niece & nephews come over. Personally, I thought the quality of the tokens where a large improvment over the color coded cars from the edition I had as a child & the board is as solid as my full copy's of the game. I will note that this edition of Monopoly Jr. is different from the classic Monopoly Jr. I had as a kid but I feel the changes are done in a way so moving into the full game makes more sence as you get older & try out the full game. For example, in classic Monopoly Jr. Train stations where roll again spaces but in this edition there fully removed. This is good because in the full game of Monopoly the train stations are propertys to buy so I could see this being jarring to a kid going from Classic Monopoly Jr. to the full game & learning these are not roll again spaces. Where as going from this edition to the full game the space is going to be completely new & will be way less confusing to kids graduating into the full game. My favorite change is the removal of uncle Penny's lose change in favor of the classic free parking also found in the full game. I have been told Hasbro gets thousands of calls every year over free parking because far to many people think a common house rule where you can collect money on free parking is official & are often confused when they can't find rules regarding free parking in the book only to be told by Hasbro that nothing happens there. Uncle Penny's loose change actually made the common money collecting house rule official in the Jr. Edition. Uncle Penny's loose change only helped fuel already in place misconceptions about free parking & how the space is supposed to works so removing it will hopefully help kill common misconceptions about the game with future generations. I don't know how I feel about all the money being $1.00 bills in the modern edition. In the classic edition you had $1, $2, $3,$4, & $5 bills. Perhaps this was done to simplify the game? Especially as we don't actually have $3 & $4 bills in real money & the values are different in full classic Monopoly ($1,$5,$10, $20,$50, $100, & $500) If you feel your kids need bills other then just $1.00 bills or want more $ in the game, you might want to consider adding a toy/monopoly money to your order. In conclusion, I feel this is a really great starting point for teaching kids how to play Monopoly & is a big improvement over it's classic counterpart as the game is changed in ways that make going from the Jr. Edition to the full version far easier then it used to be & I cannot recomend it enough for that.

Kids loved this. Hours of fun, cheating and normal monopoly politics.

Lo compre para uno de mis sobrinos con edad de 7 años. y evitar que este clavado en el telefono asi como su mama; ya que de en vez de atenderlo se pierde usando el telefon, con este juego se involucran otras personas ademas que es muy divertido y entretenido para convivir con los peques de la casa

They've nailed the modified simplified rules for classic Monopoly to suit kids 5-9 and also be fun for adults and the whole family to play. Well done! Only minor improvement would be better quality paper for the bank notes - they are a little hard to handle and count.
