Monopoly Express

Monopoly Express, a fun little secret, that anyone ten and older can play. This updated twist on the old standard incorporates speed and strategy. Each roll requires the players to evaluate what properties they will choose to gain, but watch out for the policeman on the dice as they can arrest the best strategist and end the turn. No money is exchanged so it is portable and the bills will not blow away. This has the added benefit of having to add quickly and to decide how risky you want to be. High score puts you on top. Most games can be completed in 30 minutes so challengers can be taken down in an evening. Fun for all ages anywhere you go. Enjoy! Tip: When looking on line always use Monopoly Express to search because it does not come up with other Monopoly products or names.

This is a great pick me up game, there is a bit of luck and a bit thoughtful thinking involved. Over all it is a boiled down version of monopoly, really easy to learn and fun to play. There is plenty of replay value as a filler game for game night.

I purchased this to add to my camping games since it's portable. The kids in my family just loved this and I think would have played all weekend long. I liked that it could be played in a reasonably short amount of time, unlike the classic version that could take hours and hours. It was easy to catch on to the modified rules of this Monopoly game, though there are a few circumstances that aren't necessarily covered - in that case we just made up a rule and consistently stuck with it ourselves. I gave it 3 stars for durability only because there are so many dice and kids are apt to lose them if not watched carefully. Shouldn't be any problems for adults. Same goes for Scrabble Express.

I normally go for games that a a little more cerebral but it's hard to find games that you can take anywhere or play with anyone. Basically this is a dice version of monopoly that is point based. You set a point total and first to reach it wins. Small enough that it can be played on the food tray of an airplane seat or in the back seat of a car. Dice aren't easily lost because the container the game come in is also where you roll the dice into. I've played this with adults and children alike, young children stand to learn some math skills from adding the point totals and playing the odds. Only drawback to the game is that the rules for some rare situations in the game should be clarified but it isn't a deal breaker.

for those of us who find the board game of Monopoly tedious and drawn out this version is the opposite. fast paced and no squabbling with the other players on who gets what property. this game is perfect for a twosome waiting for their plane or even their dinner at a restaurant.

Monopoly Express is an innovation of the standard game, and it has 2 main positives. 1) it takes a short time to play; and 2) it is portable / compact. Some of the negatives are 1) the loss of competition / competing with other players - you are mostly competting against the dice; and 2) the excitement of watching your housing development grow compared to your playmates is absent.

We love this quick and easy version of Monopoly. It's great on the go or hanging out at home together...and compact. Love it.

Our kids are 11 and 9. Monopoly tends to take too long and is not good for traveling. We got Monopoly Express, which takes less time, is good for when we travel and is easy enough that both kids can enjoy playing.
