Junior Monopoly Simpler, But No Less Smart Than Original, April 21, 2000 By Anthony G Pizza "trivialtony" (FL)
This entertaining Monopoly Junior Edition of the most famous board game ever features easier rules and a faster pace than its older brother. Its board represents stands and rides (Merry-Go -Round, Ferris Wheel) at an amusement park rather than streets in Atlantic City, N.J. Like the original, it features house pieces to buy properties, $2 each time you pass go (but remember to collect!) Chance cards that lead you to pay or be paid, and lessons in business thrift. (I was reminded of many of them losing twice in a row to my seven-year-old daughter.) Winning requires discipline, patience, good money management and some luck, and who couldn't use more of all those to succeed in business? Cheers to Parker Brothers for reaching not only out with trendy variations of its flagship product (Star Trek, Pokemon Monopoly, etc.) but to the youngest players who would enjoy and learn from this beloved game. Recommended.
