Great starter game for 4-7 y.o.
This is perfect for a 4 and 7 year old to start out. It is called 'junior' so yes it's not going to last 2 hours and have lots of layers, I think that's the point. It's a simple game for my 7 y.o. and after playing this I now want to buy the original for him and I to play for a more advanced game, but this game is great because my 4 y.o. can also play. Some games have been quick and one game with my son lasted about an hour with neither one of us being able to get rid of our money (which ends the game) so he became tired of it (it was also getting late), but it is called 'junior' so keep that in mind. For the most part games are about 20 mins. If you have children 7+ then I would suggest getting the original, but I think even with that one my 7 y.o. might get bored of it if it takes too long.

entry level Monopoly - it's a hit in our home! Highly recommend this game!
My little tycoon found a game he can win with some forethought and planning - and despite our best efforts, he usually does win!! This game is great for counting - both in moving the pieces by die rolls and in paying for properties. It's also been great for simple math - if you own both properties then rent is doubled. Or 3+3, 2+2 etc. Great for emerging mathematicians! Fun, fast paced, usually a pretty quick game - this game is good for a wide range of ages. Our son is 4 and LOVES it - I can see this game lasting until he's 9 or 10 without losing it's spark. And I also love that we can tie it in later with the grown up version of Monopoly and he will have a great base for learning that game. This game is a top choice in our home - I highly recommend it for kids ages 4 (if they have a decent attention span) up to age 10 or so. We love playing it as well, it's not a dull game!

Great fun for families! Teaches strategy and money principles. Even adults enjoy it.
This game is so fun for my 5YO and 7YO children. We play as a family and they have learned a lot of strategy about the power of monopolies, the value of certain properties over others, and of course it's great practice for counting money. This game keeps the interest of adults too. Highly recommend! I much prefer to play this game over Candyland. =) Monopoly was a favorite of mine growing up. This Junior version does not disappoint.

Easy and simple. Great for children.
No trading, auctioning, mortgaging, or improving properties. The probability of landing on anywhere on the board is a lot more uniform than the normal Monopoly game. This makes the game incredibly simple and more suited for children. The game pieces themselves are not spectacular. The board is relatively small and folds into quarters. The 4 game tokens are plastic but seems rigid and should stand the test of time. There’s only $1 bills which are printed single-sided. If you play with 3 or 4 players, it’s possible to run out of money. An easy solution would be to just provide also some $5 bills but I guess Hasbro thought handing out change is too difficult for children. The property markers are just small pieces of cardboard. They’re printed and glossy on both sides which is good. For what they’re used for, they work. But they do look and feel cheap. Small colored houses/blocks would have been much better.

A great kid's version of a classic game!
I love playing board games with my kids (8 and 5), but too many board games are too complex or take too long (which causes them to lose interest). Hasbro has done an excellent job of taking a classic board game and bringing it down to a kid's level without losing what makes the original fun. I played it with my 5-year-old daughter the other day and we had a blast. Even I didn't get board from playing a "kid's game" which is an added bonus. The essence of Monopoly is still there. You move around the board. You buy spaces. You collect rent...you go directly to jail sometimes...but the details have been toned back. Money has been reduced to dollar bills and everything costs a few dollars - so kids can work on learning counting as they play and it makes them proud to feel that they're actually "playing" and not having an adult to it for them. The games last just the right amount of time. We're not talking marathon Monopoly games - 15/20 minutes per game. I enjoyed it. I think it will be a staple of family game night until they're both ready to move on up to regular Monopoly!

My 6 year old daughter LOVED monopoly. We only had the adult version but she still insisted on played so we had to come up with all sorts of shortcuts and tricks to be able to just get through the game with her. So for her 7th Birthday, I got this kids version of the game for her. She loves it! It's perfect for her at this age and she is able to understand how to play with the help of an adult. It was a great purchase!

Great for all ages!
When I purchased the game, I was wondering if it wouldn't be engaging enough for my 8 yr. old, but he loves it just as much as my other two children, who are 5 and 7.

This one is PERFECT for her
My 3 year old daughter has been wanting to play monopoly but all the other monopolys are too hard for her. This one is PERFECT for her. Its very easy for her to understand how to play, it only has $1 dollar bills so its easier to count the money out.

Improved from original version
So many games from my youth are being revamped, and not always to good effect. This is one exception. The game is simple enough for my 6-year-old and her friend to play with minimal assistance from me, although as they play more and memorize the (very simple) rules, I doubt they'll need my help at all. Easy to play, though the money sticks together a bit. All the money is dollar bills to make it simpler for the younger kids, but this also makes setup a bit more tedious. The characters are fun, and there is a little extra bio card about each figure describing their personalities. This addition makes it so that if you get "stuck" with a less desirable character, there's a fun little description to make it a bit more personal and exciting! I use the bio to convince my kids that the boat really is a fun piece to play with :) I would recommend this game for kids 5 and up, unless you have a bright 4-year-old that is great at counting and following rules to games. The older kids could get a bit of an extra challenge from reading the Chance cards, board spaces, and bio cards for the characters. I can see kids up to 10 enjoying this on their own, but any age child or person would enjoy playing this with a younger kid! I love to play this game with my kiddos.

Perfect introduction to Monopoloy
This is a great introduction to Monopoly for kids (without taking up half your day!) There are only four pieces to choose from (great if you have kids that have a tough time making decisions). The money is all ones. Each property costs a few dollars, which makes it easy for even the youngest player to count out the cash. My 8 year old son has graduated onto "real" monopoly, but will still play this with his little sister. This is a great kids game and great for parents that are tired of playing Candyland
