Monopoly Junior 2 in 1 Refresh (ML)

Freshly redesigned, Monopoly Junior 2-in-1 drops little ones into a colorful amusement park built just for them, complete with an ice cream stand, a donut shop, pizza, a carousel, a pool float and even a small zoo with a dog, a monkey and an octopus. Along the way, four adorable friends come to life: Little Scottie, Little Hazel, Little Ducky and Little Dinosaur, all ready to roll the die and set off on an adventure. The real trick up this box's sleeve is a reversible board hiding two completely different games. On one side, Level 1 is built for 4 and 5 year olds, who practice counting spaces and matching pictures to buy properties; whoever owns the most wins the game. Flip it over and Level 2 welcomes kids ages 6 and up into an experience that feels closer to classic Monopoly, with reading, simple math, rent to collect and plenty of friendly negotiating; the richest player wins. The result is a board game for kids that truly grows alongside them, with no need to buy a new box every year.

You will probably love Monopoly Junior 2-in-1 if you are looking for a first board game that can keep up with your child for years, instead of a box they outgrow after six months. Whether your little player is rolling the die for the very first time or is already starting to read and count on their own, there is a side of the board built just for them. It is also a gentle way to introduce the ideas of buying, negotiating and managing money, set in a fairground world designed for ages 4 and up.

Monopoly is one of the best-selling and most recognized board games in the world, and this Junior edition carries that spirit into a format built for younger players. The real novelty of this box is its reversible board, hiding two levels of play to stretch the game's shelf life at home. The four rounded Junior tokens replace the classic Monopoly pieces to give every player a friendly little face to root for.

The idea behind Monopoly goes back to the early 1900s: in 1904, American inventor Elizabeth Magie created The Landlord's Game to protest the abuses of land monopolies, a game Charles Darrow later reworked in the 1930s into the Monopoly the world knows today. This Junior edition keeps the essentials, buying, negotiating and winning, but with rules simplified for the youngest players.
