One big thing I like about this version is that the game ends when someone is out of money. You can always say “let’s play again!” and let someone else win. Maybe almost too quick sometimes, but when you’re playing with young players maybe that isn’t bad. Unlike the “never-ending” game complaints some folks have about regular Monopoly*, Monopoly Junior plays quite quick. There are also TONS of licensed version of Monopoly Junior - which means you can find something that is bound to make just about every kid happy! My Thoughts In both games the colors on the boards are the same as Monopoly, but they’ve been given new, kid-friendly names. The exclusive to Amazon version is the Unicorn Edition that is super cute with a unicorn, a caticorn, a dogicorn, and a turtleicorn. The classic one found at most mass stores like Target and Walmart has a dog, a cat, a car and a boat seen above. There are so many versions of Monopoly Junior. All other players count how much money they have and the player with the most is the winner. When a player can no longer pay to buy a property or pay rent, then the game is over. Properties are marked by little tokens with images of the movers, so it’s easy to see who you need to pay. If someone owns both properties of the same color they will collect double when someone lands on their property. If you land on a property, you must buy it or pay the owner rent (the price on the board). Players start with a certain number of $1 bills, determined by the number of players. Using the classic iconography of Monopoly, Monopoly Junior makes for a fast and easy to understand counting game for kids.
I was surprised when a friend mentioned that they’d never play Monopoly Junior because they’re “not a Monopoly family.” Monopoly can be quite polarizing for some families, but if you have kid in the right age for Monopoly Junior I really do suggest you should give it a try.
