Monopoly - DEAL product reviews

While looking though the shops for a new game to play, I came across Monopoly Deal, I stood there reading the back of the packet for ages trying to work out what it was all about but decided to buy it anyway.

When I got it home I showed my husband and we read the rules and tried it out, was confusing at first and we got angry with each other but in a very quick time frame we sorted out the problems and got playing.

Once the rules are understood it is a quick and easy game to play and enjoyable, we have had great laughs over this game, we also have played with 2 hands each since there is normally only 2 of us playing, we haven't taught the under 5's the game yet but we are tempted.

This game turned into our before going to sleep game, only ONE game then sleep, nope turns out 10 games then sleep that is how quick the games can last, the best quick card game I have brought.

We took this game on our holiday because it packs up small and all the family members can play it.
I've now played this 4-5 times and I'm not sure I like it! Maybe this is because I have lost most of those times.
I love that it's unique and will definitely give it a few more goes before I gift it to the kids' games cupboard.

My sister owns this game but it lives at my house. At first i didnt understand it but once she explained how to play it got lots easier and now it takes us no time at all to play. When its only the two of us playing we make it a little harder by changing the rules to getting five sets instead of the three.

We also play with the children who are 11 and 5 years old and its even a good game for them, so with this in the cupboard we wont be buying the board game.

This is quite possibly the best card game we have in the cupboard. We own the board game version of Monopoly too but everytime since owning 'Deal', we have reached for this as a faster alternative to the board game.
It says on the pack that it only takes 15 minutes which is quite true, although we have wacked out quite a few games in less time when someone hits a winning streak. One thing I love about it is that anybody can win so quickly and unexpectedly that it keeps it interesting and exciting.
It also says on the pack it is for 8+. In our house it has been mastered by our 6 year old, who quite frankly is better than his mother at it!
It is an easy game to pick up and once you have played a round or two you have got the knack. But be careful, you may never want to put it down!

Highly recommended from us. What else can you buy for less than $13 that gives your whole family hours of fun?!

This game is quite simply... brilliant. It has the fun, fast paced nature of 'Uno' and other good card games, along with the intrinsic greatness of monopoly. This is the perfect game for those who love monopoly but think it just takes too long.

This is actually the first time my family has played any sort of game together in years and I am incredibly grateful for that. I love the way that the person who seems to be winning can so quickly lose that position and the underdog can suddenly win when no one was expecting it.

Unlike normal monopoly, which occasionally gives rise to dark glares and strained voices as large sums of cash are handed over to an unforgiving capitalist, this game is light hearted and leaves players giggling as they declare that 'their birthday' is the perfect excuse for every player to donate 2 million dollars. (No change given for larger denominations).

The other brilliant thing is that, just as in normal monopoly, you can easily make up new rules, meaning players must constantly come up with new strategies to outwit their opponents.

I cannot give this game a ten on uniqueness as it is, in essence, monopoly in card form. In all other counts, however, this well worth a try and quite possibly addictive.
