Ok, you are wondering why I’m talking strategy in a monopoly kid board game. More than that, you are asking yourself what kind of strategy there could be in Monopoly Junior… I have to agree that there isn’t a lot of trick and twist but like the rest of the element in this board game, there is a few strategy and they are simple. They simplified them in a way that kids playing this board game will slowly assimilate what a board game strategy is.

The Special Monopoly Junior Card Strategy

There’s also “special” card (my daughter like to say that), where the player is asked to move on the monopoly junior game board to a “special” location. These special spot on the board are the ones you want to pick when you draw a free ticket booth chance card. The list is “Roller Coaster”, “Haunted House”, “Miniature Golf”, “Ferris Wheel” and “Merry Go Round”.

The "Take it from the rich" strategy

Monopoly Junior doesn't end the same way the classic Monopoly board game ends. Since the kids are a little impatient when a game is too long, Hasbro made the rule simple. When someone is without money, the game ends and the richest player wins. This rule might help you choose your free ticket booth the next time you pick a Monopoly Junior Chance card. If you are not the richest player yet, you want to make sure that the game won't end soon. To do that, you want to prevent a monopoly player from making too much money by taking one of is ticket booth. If you are the richest player, you will try to get more booth of the same color. Stepping on a ticket booth that is own by a monopoly player that have all booth of the same color cost twice the price.

Like I said, no big Monopoly strategy here, but this junior board game of monopoly sure is a start in the right direction to learn the basics of our economy!
