My husband and I love Monopoly but needed something simpler to play it with our 4-year-old and the Monopoly Junior Edition fits the bill perfectly. The premise is simple and easy to understand, making it fun for our child. The game includes little ticket booths in various colors [ to correspond to one's chosen token] that can be 'purchased' and put on different places on the board, and which can then be used to charge 'rent' when another player's token lands on it. The currency denomination comes in $1, $2, $3, $4, and $5 and our 4-year-old was able to handle giving and taking of 'currency' quite well. The only thing that we had to help her with was reading out the "Chance" cards which require some level of reading skill.
Other than that, this is a fun game with simple rules that is not as competitive as the more grown-up version of Monopoly [which can even test the mettle of seasoned players!]. If your family loves Monopoly and wish to include young members in the game, then the Junior Monopoly may just fit the bill.
Since we bought this entertaining adaptation of Monopoly, it has been our son's favorite board game. It's easy for a 5-yr old to grasp and leads to lots of kid laughter and fun. It's even served as a primer for the discussion of addition. Highly recommend.
Although some adults might feel a slight twinge of regret seeing a "new" version of a classic game they grew up playing, this version is much better suited to very young players (four or five-year olds, perhaps?)
The rules are much simpler, the rewards come quicker and playtime is greatly accelerated -- teach your kids the basics of capitalism in mere minutes! I'm not wild about some of the property titles (the board is meant to reflect an amusement park and has lots of properties named after junk food and some soon-to-be-dated cultural references, such as the "American Idol" TV show) but overall, this is a good introductory kid's game, and is definitely worth picking up.

My son is 5 and loves it!
Easy to play... learn math... Great fun & educational too!
I bought this for my almost 7 year old daughter and 4 1/2 year old son. They BOTH love to play! My daughter uses her math skills to manage her money and my son, surprisingly, can do addition as well. It also helps their reading skills. I like it better than regular monopoly because it doesn't take nearly as long. I do wish the board was bigger, as we frequently knock over ticket booths when rolling the dice and moving around the board. But overall, I like the game very much and think it's a great game for families.
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.
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.
My younger grandchildren would always beg to play Monopoly when us olders were playing and would get angry when told no. This version is great for the younger school age child. My 4 & 5 year olds can play this to,with a little help.Monopoly Junior Edition
My son actually discovered Monopoly online, and wanted a game to try at home. We opted for this since it just seemed easier and quicker than a whole game of the grown up version. It's really a great way to teach kids the game of Monopoly - the concept is fun, the money is easy to use, and the game doesn't last forever and ever. We play regularly. THe pieces are big enough for little fingers to handle. I highly recommend this.
My grandchildren can not get enough of playing this games among others and they try to play more than 1 game at a time but it is a very captivating game of challenge
