Monopoly Builder Board Game for Kids and Adults, Strategy Games, Family Board Games, for Kids 8 and Up, 2-4 Players

This game is perfect for family game night. With a lot of help, our 5 year old plays with us. Its quick enough unlike regular monopoly to finish in under an hour also

Took a moment to get the hang of the rules but once we did it’s become a nice in-between the Jr monopoly and traditional monopoly. Great family game for our 10 and 12 year olds and parents.

This was gifted to my oldest girl for Christmas and it has been a huge hit with the entire family for game night. Took a long time to set it all up and read the directions on the 1st game, but now that we understand it, it is so much fun to play for us adults and the girls. Will be gifting it to everyone that we can give it to with older kids moving forward.

I hate classic Monopoly. It is a terrible game that takes forever to play and is completely random. Most of my turns, I have my kids roll the dice and move my pawn while I'm reading a book in another room because that game is so boring. This game is a reworking of the Monopoly theme that fixes all of those issues. While movement is still determined by rolling dice, players get rewarded with resources when certain numbers come up, regardless of who rolled them (think Catan). The game is no longer a slog to find out who gets boardwalk first and then bankrupts the other players as they fall victim to the evils of capitalism, one by one. On each turn, I can use resources i have gathered (by either having my numbers come up on the dice or by earning through chance cards) to construct buildings in the center of the board. These are constructed by placing interlocking blocks next to or on top of each other. Each level added to the top of a building increases the building's value. The first player to build the penthouse level (highest building upgrade) ends the game. Thus the biggest flaw of Monopoly is resolved. I no longer have to wait hour after hour for each player to slowly lose all their hard-earned cash and properties. Finally, actual strategy has been added to the game as each player weighs the value of each building and determines the correct time to place that game-ending penthouse. This is a Monopoly worth playing!

I bought this as a gift for my son who loves monopoly. Most other monopoly versions are just a reboxing of the same originally game with different property names and game pieces. This version actually changes it up with a new play style. The game seemed quick enough for a quick play and it made for a great family game.

My 9-year-old grandson really enjoy playing this game. Our favorite Monopoly is Monopoly Build but this one is a close second.

Monopoly is a fun game to begin with, but with the addition of the buildings and different aspects of the game, it became hard to follow. I’d give it another look if you’re planning on playing this with the kids.
