This was one of my sons first “big boy” board games. It makes it simple enough that he could play but not so watered down it was silly. A few others we have gotten are just stupid in their changes. All they did was take out the fun parts and change the board pieces. This isn’t like that. Its different but engaging. It worker well for age 4-6 but he is really too old for it now. I don’t recommend it exclusively for 7+ but it might be one they would still enjoy playing with a younger sibling. A game they didn’t hate to be forced to play maybe? Overall, we enjoyed this game and it is a great introduction to the world of board games other than the usual candy land or Chutes and Ladders.

We love this game. My 8yo kiddo doesn’t have the attention span or patience to play a game of regular Monopoly and this game is perfect! I was worried it would be “too simple” for the rest of the family to enjoy but the makers of Monopoly found a good balance in this game. They’ve created a perfect balance of the original game and simplified it so it cane be played in around 30 minutes while having the same cut-throat competition. The money is only $1 and properties have been simplified down to values of $1 to $5 and the groups reduced from 3 to 2 properties. Own both properties and rent gets doubled (an added benefit since we’re currently working on times tables). We play this game as a family and we’ve taken it to grandparents house to play and everyone had fun.

This is a great version for younger kids. I bought this as as Christmas gift for my two younger sons, ages 7 and 5. They play easily (and their older brothers–9 & 11 enjoyed it too). Every time a player lands on a space, he/she must either: (1) purchase it if it’s available; or (2) pay rent if someone else has already purchased it. This really speeds up the game. The money is also just $1.00/1.00 monopoly increments. So the counting and purchasing is very straightforward. This is a really fun way to introduce your kids to monopoly without it being a four hour affair.

My boys are almost 9 and 7 and they picked up really quick they play on their own. Super easy and a lot quicker than the original which was four hours lolThey kept boardwalk and parkplace as an ode to the original but have fun spaces the kids can buy like the skate park, library, movie theater, and museum.We love it. As an adult it gets kind of boring but for kids it’ll definitely hold their attention for an hour or so! They play every day so it’s like a relaxing mental break for them to play with each other (and relaxing for me to finally have a game they can play without fighting!)

I am a huge Monopoly fan and wanted to get this to introduce my 5 year old to the game. It has been a huge hit! My 15 year old enjoys playing it with her little brother as well.I was worried it would be too complex, but I was surprised that it was simplified enough for a young (4-8ish) crowd. It is made simple by only having $1 bills and using tokens as the houses. You also must buy each property you land on, so little kids don’t have to worry about complex strategy.The game is simplified enough for littles, but still fun enough for adults to be able to play. The character tokens are adorable and the little sold signs (cardboard pictures if your token) are cute as well. We have no complaints and are enjoying this game a lot!

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.

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!

My 6 year old grandson loves Monopoly, but the adult game is too advanced and not exactly my favorite game. Jr Monopoly surprised me in how much more fun it was to play, the game moves along quickly and he could could easily be banker and understand how to play the game. It does lay the foundation for playing the adult game very well. Even other family members who do not enjoy Monopoly, enjoyed playing Jr Monopoly and seeing how much fun a 6 year old had playing it too. An excellent learning tool as I am always looking for fun educating games for my grandchildren.

My littlest has been struggling with math and counting and this playful approach has proved so helpful. She’s 5 and while she needs help reading the ‘chance’ cards, her overall comprehension from numbers 0-30 has gone up in a short time. The ‘money’ is all $1 dollar bills, and the limited spaces means you’re going around the board rather quickly. Instead of houses and houses, you just have ownership over property. It really is a very basic game of monopoly and a great introduction to games and strategy. Also, not a lot of “bad” things happen (turns lost/owing money/ending up in jail etc) and from what I see at her age, it’s a really good approach to encourage positive engagement without much confusion.

My little ones always want to join in on the real monopoly but it’s not possible. This ONE is great! Short and easy game. Still helps with counting and buying land doubling rent etc… kids can play alone without adult help! But still fun for adults to join in.
