Not as good as the original.Would prefer the money in 100’s, 50’s, 20’s, 10’s, so little ones could do their own adding at the end (the money is in 10,000’s)Sadly, the quality is so poor in parts. The counters that you place in the wheel and spin are dots of card, so they just fly out?! Thankfully, this is only for a small part of the game so we did away with them and just memorise our numbers.I also had to sellotape the cardboard inner to the wheel to stop it slipping around on each spin!

I thought this would be similar to monopoly and become long winded but I was so wrong. It's easy to set up, the aim is to complete your life journey and retire first. My boys found it funny when I had twins. It didn't take too long to complete around an hour. My only bad point was the spinner would slide as you spin and the cardboard wouldn't display the red and black appropriately so we had to keep aligning up and responding.Fab game and easy for my 7 and 9yr old to play independently.

Bought this for my 11yr old son as apart of our family tradition of buying a board game every Christmas. He really enjoys playing it and we have played quite a few games already since purchase. I would say that the game is much more fun with 4 players than it is with 2 (and even better if a 5th person is available to be the banker). Only issue with this product is that once opened there is no decent place to keep the loose cards so likely to lose these over time. Otherwise, good purchase!

Bought for my 9 year old girl for christmas, we enjoy board games & found this lots of fun! 2 life journeys can be made either work or school & may land on a choice square where you can switch to work from school & vise versa. Pick up wife/husband & children on the way depending what you land on & what choice card you get. There's little people like tokens you add in your car on your journey which my little girl loved!Would recommend if you love board games & have fun time to play!

Still very much a classic with some added updates such as TripAdvisor comments (although they didn't really add a great deal).The spinner and the tokens for when you spin are a bit rubbish though and the tokens are made of card so get stuck in the spinner. The spinner is also poor and flaps around if you spin anything more than a gentle twist which is annoying.The game is still fun though, just expect to lose the tokens for spinning and expect the spinner to be rubbish quality.

The game looked fun and was better than I expected. The cards that have actions can be acted out which made the game funny. to play. The game isn't over too quickly but has a finish point so it doesn't keep going forever either. There's different routes that can be chosen when moving around the board making it more interesting. The instructions were well written and easy to understand.On the negative side, the it is a bit fiddly to get the money out of the bank section.

This was bought for my 9yr old daughter for Christmas. So far she has enjoyed playing this fun board game with her cousins who are same age group and older. Its brilliant that the game now includes careers chosen by kids, such as singer and video game designer! Like most 9yr olds nowadays, my daughter is well into technology, so it's fantastic to be able to sit down as a family and play a classic board game which everyone enjoys! I'm thrilled with this purchase!

Got this for Xmas and my 6,9 and 11 year old play happily alongside us adults. Great to find a game for all ages!! This was a game I played as a child and it has been updated quite a bit. It will definitely need a couple of plays with adult supervision initially as can be quite complicated as there are so many different types of spaces. The spinner doesn't spin as well as I remember 25 years ago .....cheaper plastic used now....but my kids didn't notice!!!

I remember playing this game all the time when I was a child and it brings back some great family memories. Playing it now with my own children it's as fun as I remember. The board is fun and colourful and easy to navigate. Our 6 year old and 10 year old had no issues grasping the rules. There a couple of issues, the coloured 'people' do not fit tightly into the cars and fall out frequently and the spinner doesn't attach to the board very firmly.

All ages can play, even got my son off his games console. Everyone gets to play until the end when you retire. Rewarded for education and family not just what you earn.You get a loan to keep playing so no one gets upset. Perhaps needs some more career choices for college. Only one annoying aspect is the spinner as the cardboard slips out of the number zone and the paper discs for the roulette are rubbish but we just picked a number or colour.

Had the much older version which had got a bit tatty so decided to renew. It is a great family board game that is interesting, fun, not too difficult to grasp or set up and does not take ages to play. We love to play it in our family, our age range being from 8 years old to 56 years old. Working out who wins at the end is also simple and quick to find out. Loads of fun and laughter when playing that all ages can enjoy even the adult kids.

My girlfriend wanted this game for while but I didn’t get round to buying it. She didn’t she would do it herself and buy if off amazon. She was so excited when it arrived.... in Portuguese!! She was that eager to buy it she didn’t look at the language.So she got upset and as a gift I bought it for her. I ordered it at 5pm and it arrived at my door at 7pm. Was a fast and worthwhile service! Plus it was in English!!

My seven year old daughter is delighted with this game and insists the family gather round to play as often as possible. It seems to be designed for 2, 3 or 4 players. The game is great fun but it can feel like there are many details to remember even with the instructions in front of us. The board is colourful and nicely detailed, and the pieces and spinner are made of plastic. Should be good fun for years to come.

My 10 year old had this on Christmas list.He was really pleased and we’ve played it a lot especially with lockdown very good value for this game which I remember from my childhood and sure things like that cost at least the same amount of money back then.A nice colourful board, game does take a while though especially if 4 playing at least an hour and a half but it’s lots of fun and quicker if less of you

Brought this to replace the old style game we had and at first when opening the box we were a little disappointed as it was so different to the old game everything was flat ( old style was 3D, and it seemed a little more flimsy ) BUT once set up and playing we had great fun. The children loved it and found it really easy to play. Very glad we decided to update the game and have had hrs of fun as a family.
