    4 Stars Not Bored Yet! 02/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to play, well thought out

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rules need to be read to children

    I was wondering what to buy my son for his birthday while walking through Sainsbury's recently when I saw Monopoly Junior. I remembered playing proper monopoly for hours when I was younger, and so I decided to buy it for him. ~~~ Equipment ~~~ You get a game board, a pack of chance cards, 48 ticket booths, monopoly money, a dice and 4 cars. They box has a tray in it which allows the money to be sorted out. The cars are red, yellow, green and blue, as are the ticket booths. This makes it easy for younger children to see which their pieces are. The monopoly money comes in £1, £2, £3, £4 and £5 ... more

    4 Stars All the fun of the Monopoly fair 22/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick to play. Fun. Well designed for children's attention span and developmental levels.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Do you find regular adult Monopoly tedious and a game just seems to go on and on forever? I do and this is where I find that the junior version is so much more fun to play, as it ends so much quicker. This should be strange as on my box it says that this game is specially designed for ages 5 – 8. Oh well some kids will just never grow up! Rather than the typical London street set up of traditional Monopoly the children’s version has been cleverly developed to take children to a destination that they will enjoy and be able to relate to, the funfair. We’ve had our game for 15 years and so the ... more

    4 Stars Who said your too young to play. 28/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun even for adults, helps kids with addition

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gets boring for some

    A couple of weeks ago I had to buy a present for my 5-year-old nephew. Down I went to Hamleys and after a lot of looking around I picked up “Junior Monopoly”. Just yesterday my nephew came to our place to spend the night and guess what? He bought the “Junior Monopoly” with him and within an hour of his arrival we were already playing it. This is a great game for the kids. It is specially designed for them. Starting from the “GO” space the whole board is a funfair. The whole concept has been changed. You land on free amusements such as Magic Show, Balloon ... more

    4 Stars A great introduction to rule oriented games 28/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very simple to play and enjoy; has educational elements

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will get boring after a few games

    After years of playing board games amongst friends, my children are finally getting interested in more complicated board games such a the Harry Potter board game etc. One of the games that helped them gain interest into more serious board games and also helped them to begin to understand the concept of 'rules' was Monopoly Junior. As I have spent many wonderful hours around the Monopoly board, enjoying the social and competitive side of the game I was delighted to see my children playing this game and, for the most part, obeying the rules. The game is very simple, removing a lot of the ... more

    5 Stars Make Children Board 07/08/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages ~

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ~

    ~Boardom~ Monopoly is probably the worst board game ever invented. You get it out; spend 1/4 getting all the money and other stuff ready. Then you keep going around and around the same places until one of the players, usually the person who wanted to play it, gets bored and leaves. Now Junior Monopoly isn't as bad as its Father. It doesn't take as long to set up, and the games don't drag on for hours and hours like the original. ~Unlike Father, Unlike Son~ Junior Monopoly is a lot better than its adult version, and this is due to some changes in the game. Admittedly you still have to wander ... more

    5 Stars At last I'm cured of Monopoly phobia 08/07/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Covers a wide range of skills in an enjoyable way

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some games can last an hour......and then your kids want another go.

    Okay- confession time..... I was beaten at monopoly by an 8 year old I was babysitting for! Years of shame have now been excorcised with the discovery of Junior Monopoly (hellishly hard to type correctly!) I have a 5 year old Monpoly-fiend of a son and this is what we reckon to it: Description ----------- Junior board game designed for ages 5 to 8. (keep small parts away from under 3's) 2-4 players Made by Waddingtons Games, Castle Gate, Oulton, Leeds. LS26 8HG. My game cost £14.99 from Woolworths. Contents --------- The sturdy playing board is the same shape and similar in construction the ... more

    4 Stars teach your kids to be tycoons 15/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good game for family to play together

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of fiddly little bits that can easily get lost

    I have to admit to having a soft spot for the original version of the game and can remember spending many hours as a child playing the game with my sister. Junior Monopoly now allows an even younger audience (5-8 year olds) to learn the joys of being a tycoon. Essentially Junior Monopoly has changed the board from being a rather odd London street map to a fairground map with each of what used to be streets now being fairground rides. It is played in much the same way as the grown up version but the rules have been simplified. for example, once you have brought a fairground ride no further ... more

    4 Stars What is Monoploy Junior 03/01/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple, not complicated and fun for people of all ages with things they can relate too. i.e. candy floss stall.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Children could get carried away buying things they like and forget about the amount of money they have, leading to bankcrupcy.

    I have played Monopoly Junior several times, the game belongs to my younger brother. I find it very intreguing - a great introduction to the world of finance for children. The board is smaller than a standard 'Monopoly' board, so the games are shorter. It is set out as a funfair where you buy certain rides and stalls. Alltogether this makes it more interesting for a child. Children would much rather play a game which involves buying places at a funfair and doesn't last hours than playing a board game that lasts a lot longer and involves buying streets in London. They have only one set of cards ... more

    3 Stars The one for kids 03/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages To make young kids play normal Monopoly when older

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Boring after 5 times

    Monopoly Junior, it's the younger kids Monopoly! Some things are the same like the GO starting square and the Chance cards but it can be fun to play on a rainy day only (sometimes.) There are some things which are just like in real Monopoly like Old Kent Road £60 in Monopoly Junior Balloon Stand £1 and Mayfair £400 and Loop The Loop £5! Well OK you should have guessed it, Monopoly Junior is a funfair!! But you get £2 pocket money like in Monopoly (£200) but there is a down side...you are cars and not tokens and that means that you have to remember you're colour instead of thinking like Iron or ... more

    4 Stars monopoly Jr 01/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages simpeler

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ???????????????

    Monopoly Jr is a rarther good game it is much more simple and the money is easyer to handle, because it is not large amounts like £100's, It's more like £5's and £2's instead, this alows it to be played by all of the family in stead of just they adults. This edition revolves around a theme park rarther than buying London, This also allows it to played by the young ones because more peeople have been to theme parks then London. To make it even more playable for the young ones is the fact that you don't have to buy houses or hotels, instead all you get is one ticket bouth, and if anybody lands ... more
