Fun with circuits, January 7, 2008
By Michael S. Axinn (Colorado)

Got Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 for my 7 yr old - and we had a great time with it. I started the first couple of projects with him and then he took over and was able to create all sorts of noisy fun. So far, he has learned about a basic circuit, however the book doesn't really require him to learn about the components and what they do. But that doesn't stop it from being fun.

12 y/o boy review, January 6, 2008
By B. McGuire (Dacula, Georgia United States)

We got Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 for our 12 y/o boy (a hard to buy for age). He really likes putting together the different configurations and experiments and will bring them to us, "Hey, look what I made this time!" Great for rainy days, keeps him busy and interested for several hours at a time! I recommend Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 for that hard to buy for teen age!

Editorial Review
In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, an unemployed heating engineer from Pennsylvania created the game of Monopoly. Realizing that his get-rich theme might appeal to other Americans, he had the game printed and distributed in a Philadelphia department store. When he couldn't keep up with the overwhelming requests for more sets, he arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. And the rest, as they say, is history. But Monopoly is far from a quaint historical relic. To this day, it remains a riveting game of luck, chance, and savvy wheeling and dealing--all of which can make some lucky dog rich, rich, rich! Based on the purchase of Atlantic City real estate (a city currently renowned for its get-rich gambling opportunities), Monopoly is now printed in 26 languages with more than 200 million sets sold worldwide. Players still scoot the same beloved board pieces: the old shoe, the terrier, and the hot rod. This set also includes rules for a shortened version of the game and a new token, winner of Monopoly's recent "design a token" contest. This is capitalism at its most fun and ruthless, a must-have edition in the family game closet. --Gail Hudson

A SLICE OF AMERICANA THAT STILL REMAINS, February 24, 2002
By JON STRICKLAND "Jon Strickland" (Smithfield, NC United States)

Monopoly is the best board game created in the 20th century. The artwork on the Chance and Community Chest cards is so simple and yet so elegant, just as my childhood, and that of others in my generation, was. If there is one thing in life that I, as an adult, sometimes miss, it is the opportunity to play Monopoly. No other game, whether it is board, video, or online, will take its place as an enjoyable pastime. I consider myself fortunate to have memories of competing against relatives and friends with this game. The thing about Monopoly was that you could play it with most anyone who could at least count money and make fictitious purchases. In general, it is not too hard or tedious (Many had this particular problem with Scrabble), nor is it simplistic(like some of these games you might see on the TV screen).

Ahhh...greed :), October 10, 2000
By Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State)

Now Monopoly is more fun to play with real money, in life that is..but as a kid, this was the most fun ever. The only time I hated playing this game was with my mom, because she always won. Now, when I played it later with my brothers, I would win. This game is just so much fun, because it really teaches you to think about investing. It also teaches you how to bribe your one brother into selling all his good cards. I think it is great, just keep your eye on the person playing banker.....have you ever noticed that they win? Ok, jokes over! You will find kids will pick a favorite piece and want it every time they play the game. I still get roped into playing this game now and then. It has a lot of childhood memories and good fun times associated with it. Buy it....common you can afford it. After all, it comes with a bunch of money. -The Rebecca Review

 Monopoly, December 8, 2002
By Constant (Vancouver, BC Canada)

Monopoly is my favourite board game of all board games. Growing up it was the one we played most. My brother bought a very beat up used version at a garage sale, and we spent hours playing it, later buying a new version. The game is immensely fun, educating in that it teaches you the basics of property buying,selling, trading, management and how to use your money. Durable in that as long as you have the pieces the game is on. Who will win is never known till its over, and strategy, luck, and decision making determines the end result. In monopoly there are eight blocks: ranging from the low end Meditterean/Baltic to the high end Park Place/Boardwalk, four Railroads, two Utilitys, one Income Tax, one Luxury tax property, and for the element of luck two Chances and two Community Chests, along with Go, Jail, Go to Jail and Free Parking. Of course to understand what these propertys are about you need to know the rules. The games rules are not hard to learn, so its a good game for beginners, but you never grow out of it no matter how good you become at it there will always be somebody who can give you a run for your money. Multiplayer with up to eight players playing at any time, though I think two-four is the right number to play with. Have to say Monopoly is a great game for people of every generation, definetly for the collection.

Greed is a Beautiful Thing......Really, September 15, 2005
By Bu-chan (Aotearoa)

"Monopoly" is a classic of veritable fame around the world, and the many editions stand testimony to it's enduring popularity as "THE" ownership game of our time.
Starting with a small amount of money, with a healthy streak of greed, ruthlessness, and underhanded exploitation, one can acquire enough property to establish themselves as the prime force to be reckoned with. The potential for wealth is very high, and will make former-friends out of your nearest and dearest quite well. "Monopoly" is a great game, and it comes with shorter rules for a quicker game, if you have little time for the longer version of it. Of course, if you have the time, the longer version is much more fun and more challenging. Things can turn very quickly in the game, so there is no resting on your laurels here. Good luck and happy hunting! Remember: money is everything and you have no friends in "Monopoly"!

Do you still need to be convinced to buy this game?, April 4, 2001
By Raymond R. Rubino "Raymond R. Rubino" (Amherst, Ohio : United States)

What can anyone possibly say about Monopoly that has not already been said? The game is fun, it is a classic;it is educational, economical, when compared to other games and CD-ROM software for your PC. Plus...you played it as a kid yourself, right? Was it not fun, challenging. Did it not make the time go by fast? Was it not the perfect game for a rainy day, or on a cold Saturday night when there was nothing to do?
I have a 10 and a 7 year old child that are fast becomming experts at the game. What a fabulous way to teach them about money, budgeting, and economics. And besides, it makes for great family fun.This is what makes this classic game so priceless!

Editorial Review
Just like its big brother, Monopoly Jr. is big-time fun for everyone! Spend a day at the amusement park. Ride the roller coaster, bumper cars, or Ferris wheel. How about a game of miniature golf or a visit to the haunted house? It's simple--set up ticket booths on as many boardwalk amusements as possible, then build your fortune collecting the entrance fees as other players land on your properties. If someone else already owns an amusement, you pay up. Watch out--if one player owns both amusements of the same color, you must pay them double! So have some fun. And don't forget--pass GO, collect $2. --Alison Golder

From the Manufacturer
Own your own piece of the amusement park with this introduction to the world's most popular board game! Travel around the park! Buy sites! Set up ticket booths and collect from anyone who lands on them! But stop to watch the fireworks and it'll cost you! The player with most money at the end of the game wins!

Smaller is Better, December 14, 2000
By "bjshorses" (Oklahoma)

Anyone who is familar with the original Monopoly will appreciate this scaled down version. It contains all the fun of the original, with a couple of new twists. The smaller board & lower prices on property & "rent" allow for a quicker, less demanding game. And the added twist of being able to bump other players' ticket booths off a site allows for unexpected turns in the outcome of the game. The game is fun for ages through adult, not just the 5-8 specified by the box. Younger children who are not able to read or count money will need help, but our 6 year old had no problem grasping the concepts, and joining in on the fun even without being able to read the cards. In addition, anyone who has been "held hostage" by amusement park prices for food will appreciate the irony that the original "Jail" and "Go To Jail" has been replaced by "Lunch" and "Go To Lunch." :-) What I would change - the player markers are too big to fit on the board well, and we had difficulty when more than one person landed on a square. I know the cars where made big to make it easier for little hands to grasp, but these are too big for the board.

great game for kids, October 7, 2007
By L. Bieber (Columbus, OH United States)

My 5 year old daughter and her 6 year old cousin love Monopoly Junior Edition. My husband and I love it too. I have always loved the grown up version, but like other reviewers have said, it is a little brutal for young kids. I think this version is great as it teaches basic math (you have to pay double? you are only adding 3 plus 3) and is more fun from a kid perspective - what kid cares about owning Boardwalk when they could have the roller coaster?? Also, I think the reviewers who are complaining that this game doesn't involve strategy are forgetting the most important rule of board games: you can change the rules. That's the funnest part of Monopoly. It's your game after all, why can't you say to your kid that they are allowed to choose whether to buy a ticket booth or not? Hello, this is America, make your own rules. Duh!
