Monopoly Junior – Rules Part 1
Leave a comment »
The object of Monopoly Junior is largely the same as it’s grown up counterpart but the rules have been slightly amended to make it more user friendly and more importantly more fun for younger children. I will give you a brief introduction to the rules here. The best way to learn this game is to start playing!
- In Monopoly Junior the winner is the person with the most money when the first player runs out of cash. This is great for kids as they don’t have to hang around getting bored while those still in the game keep going.
- Instead of buying houses and hotels, you make your money by setting up ticket booths on boardwalk amusements such as the ferris wheel.
- To begin the game, each player chooses a car to move around the park.
- Each player gets 10 ticket booths.
- The Chance Cards need to be shuffled.
- A banker should be appointed to control the money and hand out change when necessary.
- Now we are ready to roll the die. As always the highest roller gets to go first.
- Each player moves their car along the board until they reach the space they are supposed to land on.
- They must then follow the instructions on the space they land on.
- If a player lands on an amusement that doesn’t have a ticket booth, they have to pay the banker and then they get to put one of their ticket booths on the ride. This means that you can now charge any player that lands at your ticket booth the entrance fee for the ride. The entrance fee is shown on the space.
- If a player lands on an amusement with a ticket booth already in place they need to pay up the amount shown on that space on the board. If a player owns two ticket booths on an amusement, you’re in trouble, you gotta pay double!
- When you pass “Go” on the board you collect and extra $2 from the bank. Make sure you remember to get the banker to pay up!
