Our Editorial Review
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

our 5 year old grandson loves it! Posted 06 October 2008
this is a fun game to play with our 5 year old grandson. He really enjoys it and it's also helpful in teaching him math and reading.
Fun family game! Posted 22 September 2008
I got this game as a fun family activity that helps teach my twin kindergartners about counting and a little math. It was very easy for them to learn and is fun for everyone to play. My husband has never played Monopoly; so this was a nice introduction for him too.
Good Game Posted 16 August 2008
Purchased for my daughter's 6th birthday. She really likes to play this game and it helps her work with small numbers. However, I wish that the dollar amounts were larger (it only has 1-5 denominations), because having her work with the bigger numbers would help her math skills. I love the speed of the game though, as it holds her attention. The only reason I didn't rate this a 5 is because I don't feel like it pushes math skills as much as it could.
Monotony Junior - pure chance with dumb rules, clunky pieces, small board. Posted 23 July 2008
This is the classic game Monopoly simplified to the point where there is no strategy whatsoever (and therefore no linking of decisions with consequences) but I must admit that my five-year-old loves it and it may get him interested in the real game someday.
Not only is it reduced to pure chance, but the rules are written so that the games are very short, since you lose when you run out of cash regardless of how many "ticket booths" you have on the board. The rules are written so you are forced to buy properties you land on, and you end up paying up a lot before your cash flow builds (and this is with only my son and I playing, the effect would be greatly multiplied with three or four playing).
On top of that, the board is little so that if you are in the habit of rolling the dice in the middle of the board, you are continually knocking the "ticket booths" off their properties, and if that weren't enough, the actual tokens are so big that only two can fit on a given square, but the game can be played by up to four people.
So, for new depths in fun-for-kids-while-parents-suffer, try this game. Too bad it couldn't have been made interesting for kids and their parents.
What a fun game! Posted 23 April 2008
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.
