Monopoly Junior: Travel Edition (1991)

About this game

Instead of actually collecting sets of properties in this travel edition of Monopoly Junior, players trade ownership of single properties. (Each color group has only one property in it.) Using their tokens as cranks, players update the cleverly-designed inboard displays to indicate ownership and number of ticket booths on the property. The die is replaced by a spinner, as is the deck of chance cards. The only parts left somewhat loose are the dollar bills, for which there are clips for each player, the bank's denominations, and even Loose Change.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
