This product is advertised as the Monopoly Junior edition where players buy properties at an amusement part, but the vendor shipped a different product: Monopoly Junior Party. As Rick Perry might say, "oops."

My daughter can read so I have her read all the chance cards and I have her act as the bank. Good for basic math: addition/subtraction. The board is half the size. Monetary denominations goes up to $5 dollars.

For the longest time, my kids kept asking to play my Lord of the Rings Monopoly and since they're ages 5 and 7, there was no way I was letting them play it since they can't ever put things back on their own or play nicely. It was nice to get this as a gift this Christmas as it was a way for them to play Monopoly without it being way too hard (which is something kids don't seem to care about no matter what you tell them)The game is very simple, with houses and hotels being replaced with ticket booths. Jail becomes Lunch, Free Parking becomes Free Time, and the whole game is based around an amusement park theme. The money comes in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and there are only Chance cards. I've played it a few times with the kids and have been very happy with the way it seems to be helping my son learn addition and money counting through fun and games. He's nearly six and it's nice to see him counting and adding with eagerness.The one downside is that there's nothing inside the box to help pack it all up nicely. The tokens and booths all just fly around loose and so does the money and chance cards, unlike the plastic holder in the regular version. You'll need to use rubber bands and ziploc bags to teach your kids how to put it away properly, otherwise the likelihood of something flying out and getting lost go up.

My 5 and 6 year old love playing Monopoly withmy husband and I so I was excited to try this out. Its a huge hit! I played with them the first time so I can explain how to play as we went along and now that they know how , they can play just the two of them if they wanted. Although I do enjoy playing with them. I really like that the bills are small so they can easily count money themselves. This game is so much better for them than the regular Monopoly because of how easy it is and we can actually play from begining to end without getting bored of it. And I have to say that I love the whole "Go to lunch" instead of "Go to jail". Such a great game for kids. I would highly recommend this game! We love it!

Got this game for my grandchildren, ages 6 and 4, and was surprised that they picked up on it quickly. My 6-yr-old grandson wanted to be the banker after our first round of play--and his siter said she wanted to be banker too--but she doesn't yet understand about collecting money, etc. I think they would be thrilled if their parents would play with them--4 can play. I have mentioned the idea but don't know if parents have played the game yet! I would recommend for young children.

Great version of monopoly for kids. Play it with my 6 year old son and we really love it. Never timed a game but they last about 15 minutes I'm guessing, just the right amount of time for him. He gets to learn about money, property, rent, investing etc.. Excellent purchase!

I always loved the original version of monopoly when I was a kid. I'm sure I didn't understand most of it, but still loved playing with the money.This version is what I use to play with my children. Its alot more kid friendly and easier for them to understand.

I ordered Monopoly Jr. for my 5 yr. old son a few months ago, and the whole family has fallen in love! Some junior versions of popular games fail to deliver, but not this one. Games are relatively quick, really fun and educational (esp. if you child takes their turn as banker). Warning: can be addictive!

My 6 yr old grandson took to the game and enjoyed playing it. Simple and teaches math skills. He did not request to play it again but I think he loves other games instead. He especially loves to build.

Purchased this for my 6 yr old for her b-day. Great fun for parents and child. It takes just the right amount time to play (not too long) and helps her practice her addition and subtraction skills, too.

I used to love playing Monopoly as a adolescent but never realized I'd love playing it as much with a four year old. And she REALLY loves it. Even my 22 month old got into it & has been trying to play with us (obviously mom has to help with the reading & money counting....but the 4yo is already picking up on the fact that you can get $3 from combining a $2 bill & a $1 bill). It also starts building strategy skills in kids as they get the idea of what it takes to win / get income from other players. This version is not as complicated so it's easier & faster for someone to win the game. GREAT game!!! Still a classic.

Love the game. The only disappointment is that the board game came incomplete. We have a missing die, the yellow railroad card, one purple card and atleast 3 more cards are missing. We can still play but will have to find a die or make one up.Highly recommended though.

Most junior versions of games are just a simplified version of the original. I love this one since it's a bit different. Rather than the general idea of a city with famous streets, railroads, and utilities play is centered around an amusement park. It's much more fun for little kids and appeals to their imaginations a bit more. As an added plus it helps kids practice their math skills.

My son got this for his sixth birthday. He loves it. It is easy to learn and a great way to learn money. It does go on for hours just like the adult version though. Fun game for the family. My daughter is four and plays with us. It is not too complicated but is still like the original version. Lots of fun.

This game is just how I remember it as a kid. It was fun to play with my five yr old, and it taught him about fair play, and money. It does take a while to play just like monopoly does, but it is fun.

My almost-five-year-old son picked this up quickly and enjoys it. I rated durability only 3 stars but, really, how durable is any board game with paper money and playing cards? I let my son be the banker and it teaches him basic math skills and making change. There's also some good sportsmanship to be learned. We play this about once a week.

My 7 yr old gets 30 minutes down-time soon after school. He can do anything he wants, including watch TV. Since we got this game, it's been his # 1 choice. It's quick (a big plus with him), not too taxing on the brain, fun - especially when his parents have to pay him or when he get's to kick our ticket booth out. He can be a sore looser sometimes, but not with this game because he knows he can get us next time around. It's pure luck of the draw. And as an adult, I think it's fun too - unlike some other kid games that can get a bit tedious for parents. Besides I can play while prepping for dinner. His 3 yr old brother likes to hand out money and the Chance cards. Makes him feel like he's playing. I just wish the money was a little heavier-duty but with only 5 color coded denominations, we can easily print off fake money on that paper color as replacements. We've already got our money's worth out of the game!

I gave this to my 6 year old niece for her Birthday and she loves it. I'm told by her mother she plays it all the time. What's good about this game is that my niece along with having fun is also learning as well. She's learning about money and practicing her math skills. The game also helps her to learn to follow directions and take turns. Her favorite part about the game is winning. This game also takes a lot less time to finish than regular Monopoly which is good for childrens short attention span.
