Kid Tested: The Monopoly Deal card game
Once upon a time there was a board game that families played until the cows came home. Not so much because they enjoyed playing Monopoly, but because that's how long it took to crown a winner.
Now there's a version of the classic Parker Brothers game that can be played in 15 minutes.
My savvy 12-year-old neighbor, Chabella, recently tested out the card game with three other preteen friends (two boys and a girl) here are her impressions on Monopoly Deal card game:
• First impression: "This looks like a confusing game to play."
• What's cool: The game doesn't last as long as other Monopoly games.
• What needs improving: Nothing.
• Would you recommend it: "Yes, it's easy to play and you can play it anywhere." No need to collect teeny board pieces.
