Monopoly junior party review11/27/2023 ![]() Visit for more info, and follow the conversation on Twitter ! Part of Blogger Bash, a two-day conference connecting bloggers and brands nationwide, Sweet Suite will feature the hottest toys and games for the upcoming holiday season. This product and more from Hasbro will be on display at The Big Toy Book’s Sweet Suite 14 event in New York City on July 17. It took us about 20 minutes before I went bankrupt, couldn’t pay rent, and the game ended. Overall, we had a blast playing this game. I’m sure most kids will want to be the banker, as I always did! Monopoly Junior is also great for practicing counting and math skills. Monopoly is and why he is on the box (I told her it’s his game). Did I do something bad? How do I get out? (You get out on your next turn by paying $1). At one point, I landed on the Go to Jail space-which I was thrilled to see used the traditional Monopoly artwork-and she was genuinely concerned. Lena was thrilled to collect $2 (this version only uses $1 bills, and no property costs more than $5) every time she passed Go (she literally sighed in relief when her bank account was dwindling and she received the $2!). It’s so interesting to play a game you (and everyone else on the planet) knows so well, and introduce it to a child who has never seen it before. I played this game with Lena, who won’t be 5 for a few more months, and she loved it, as you can tell from her commentary in the video above. This process also speeds up the game play, which is great for kids’ attention spans and parents’ limited available time. If they own two of that color property, you must pay them double. If someone already owns it, you pay rent. If you land on a property, you must buy it. ![]() Much of the strategizing (Should I buy this property should I build a hotel?) is now left to chance. This game is really successful in taking the full Monopoly experience and scaling it down for younger kids in a meaningful way. ![]() Monopoly Junior, from Hasbro‘s Gaming division, is designed for kids ages 5 and up. ![]()
