Description
Monopoly town has an ice cream shop, a doughnut shop and other fun places you can buy. Every new space you own means the other players will have to pay when they land on it. Monopoly Junior is the children's version of the famous property-buying game, with simpler rules. This Slovenian edition comes with rules in Slovenian.
How to play Monopoly Junior
Each player picks a token, takes their 12 SOLD signs and gets starting money from the banker. The youngest player goes first. On your turn, you roll the die and move that many spaces forward. If nobody owns the space yet, you must buy it and put one of your SOLD signs on it. If another player owns it, you pay them rent. When you own both spaces of the same colour, the rent is doubled. On some spaces you draw an event card and do what it says, and one space sends you to time-out. Every time you pass the START space, you collect money from the bank.
The board has two sides. Level 1 is for young children, and nobody goes bankrupt on it: if you can't pay the rent, you say something nice to the other player instead. The game ends when the last space is bought, and the player with the most spaces wins. Level 2 is for older children. Here you get a title deed for every space you buy, and you have to be careful with your money. When someone can no longer pay, the game ends and the player with the most money wins.
Why you'll like it
- One box covers two levels, so the game grows with your child.
- While playing, children learn to count money, make payments and look for matches.
- Since you must buy every free space you land on, there is no long thinking and the game moves quickly.
- On Level 1 nobody is knocked out, and instead of paying, you sometimes sing a song or say something nice.
Who Monopoly Junior is for
The game is for two to four players aged four and up. The rules are simple, which makes it a good fit for families with young children who are just discovering board games. The cards have text, and in this edition it is in Slovenian.
What you might not like
The die decides where you move and there are few decisions to make, so adults who prefer games with more planning may not find it the best fit.
