This is a toy we have wanted for a very long time. Last Christmas we finally got it. Then, we played it for the first time. We noticed the board was small, no jail, very little money. When you bought the land it is much cheaper than regular monopoly. What happened to free parking? Do yourself a favor and purchase regular monopoly. You' ll be sorry if you buy the j.r. edition

. . .but I just can't get excited by this game.I learned how to play Monopoly at the age of 5. My eldest son learned how to play at 8. My kids enjoy the real game. They don't enjoy the kids version.Kids are brighter than most adults give them credit for. The original game is a wonderful teaching tool on a number of levels. I don't see the point in dumbing down when it is not necessary.Parents, teach your children how to play the REAL GAME. Then, there can be some valuable family time. The adults will too quickly get bored with this version -- and frankly, so will the kids.Don't waste your time or money.
