FAQs
What ages is Monopoly Junior suitable for?
Monopoly Junior is designed for children aged 4 years and up. It features two levels of play: Level 1 for ages 4-5 and Level 2 for ages 6+.
How does the double-sided board work?
The double-sided board offers two distinct games. One side provides a simpler game with counting and matching for younger children (Level 1), while the other side offers a slightly more advanced game with reading and basic math for older children (Level 2).
What is the main difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 focuses on counting spaces and matching pictures, ideal for preschoolers. Level 2 introduces basic reading and simple math as players count and collect their own Monopoly money, providing a step up in complexity.
How do you win Monopoly Junior?
The game ends when one player runs out of money or after a predetermined time. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
Does it come with money?
Yes, the game includes Monopoly money in denominations appropriate for each level of play.
What are the character tokens?
The game includes four adorable character tokens for players to choose from, adding a fun visual element to the game.
Can adults play this with young children?
Yes, adults can play with young children to help guide them through the gameplay, explain rules, and assist with counting or math as needed, especially in Level 2.
Troubleshooting
Game is too difficult for a younger child.
Ensure you are using Level 1 of the game (for ages 4-5). Focus on the counting and matching aspects, and provide assistance with reading or counting when needed.
Players are running out of money too quickly.
In Level 1, ensure players collect $2 when passing GO. In Level 2, double-check the starting money amounts and property costs/rents to ensure they are set correctly according to the rules.
Difficulty keeping track of who owns which property.
Make sure each player places their purchased property cards clearly in front of them. Use the color-coding on the board and cards as a visual aid.
Board or cards are damaged.
For minor damage like bent cards, gently flatten them. For more significant damage, contact the manufacturer (Hasbro) for replacement parts if available.
Children are arguing over rules.
As the adult, clarify the rules for the chosen level before starting. Use the rulebook as a reference and emphasize fair play and turn-taking.
