I will not tolerate Monopoly Deal hate. If you like Monopoly you'll love this version. It's faster, easier, and it even plays a little differently than traditional monopoly, setting it apart from the og game. There's a good balance between the luck and skill that goes into gameplay. I like the design of the cards, they're reminiscent of normal monopoly but still have a fresh new look to them. Seriously, this version of monopoly is so so fun and anyone who loves board games and card games should give it a shot.

Played this Monopoly card game at a friend’s house and really enjoyed it so had to get a deck of my own. Games are quick unlike the Monopoly board game and have a different goal to win than the board game which makes it even more fun! Friend recommended getting the card game in the green box which is the original version. There are newer versions that are more complex.

Fun, fast game! And you don't have to know haw to play Monopoly to catch on quickly. Be sure to get the set that is made in the USA. (This one is) I purchased a set at a local Fred Myer that was made in China. The colors were so far off, experienced player were frustrated.

The best version of Monopoly ever played. Have been buying these as gifts since I first fell in love with this card game 20 years ago

Game itself:I love this game! It feels very different to play with a different number of players. I believe the ideal group size is 3-4 people. Each game is not short and makes me want to retaliate, so I played this until 4 a.m. with my college friends.Size:Its packaging is compact so I can carry this around without worrying too much about its weight or size.Design:My friend sometimes has trouble distinguishing between pink and red. I wish there were some other ways, such as symbols or letters, although I know it's from the classic Monopoly design.

Fun! Easy for the family to learn and play together. Faster pace than the original game. And convenient for travel because it’s a card game!

I got this card game for Christmas and it’s awesome! Honestly great for all ages (NOT for cry babies though🤣). It’s fast paced and super cutthroat. Seriously, no mercy! But one game is only like 15-20 minutes long, so me and my sister just play over and over again without getting bored. The better you are at it, the quicker the game goes. Wicked clever design, honestly WAY better than the OG. I used to NOT really like monopoly because it would take hours and I would always loose. But this game I’d say has a little more of a strategy to it, and it’s much easier to learn in my opinion. They’ve got a ton of action cards, properties, and money. Everything Monopoly has but more, and better! I brought this game to a retreat and it was a HIT! We played several hands and they liked it so much they bought the game! I have to say it’s definitely much more fun with 2-5 players, when you play with too many people (at least in my experience) it can get a little confusing and messy. However I think if you have a big group, as long as everyone has played a few times before it should be fine.

Monopoly Deal is a small card game that I had low expectations for. It was on sale so I decided to give it a try.Gameplay: Each player starts with 5 cards in their hand. At the start of their turn, they must draw 2 cards then play up to 3 cards. They can either play an action card, a property card, or any card into their personal bank. At the end of their turn, they must discard down to 7.Playing cards into your personal bank is valuable, because eventually you'll need to pay rent or some other shenanigans will occur requiring you give money to your opponents. The catch is, you can ONLY play money from your bank/property, never your hand, so you always want to have cash on hand or else you'll have to pay from your properties - and change is not given.The game ends when one player has completed 3 sets of properties.Pros:1. The game is quick2. The game doesn't take up much space (box or table play area)3. There is some strategy4. Game teaches set-collection, hand management, and math.5. The game is quickCons:1. There is a lot of luckThe game plays quickly at least compared to normal Monopoly. I like that it is a minimalist sort of game - it's just a deck of cards so it doesn't take up a lot of space on the bookshelf and the game itself is easy to play on a card table. I like that this is an easy game that we can play on a weeknight.What I don't like is that it is highly dependent on luck. There is some strategy, e.g. don't play cards that can complete your opponents set unless you can complete it yourself, because some cards allow properties to be traded or stolen. You might be out of luck if you don't have a card to cancel those effects. And always have some money available to pay up rent - keep the small change, because no change is given! So in a way, this game can teach the concept of hand management - making good decisions on what cards to keep or play.This game has similar amounts of luck as another Hasbro card game, Life Goals. However, that game has a storytelling element. This game is less humorous and the "take-that" or attacks on other players is more prominent; it's a more vicious game.I did with the last game, but the victory seemed hollow - I just happened to be lucky with my card draws. I didn't do anything to win except follow the rules.Other Monopoly games that we've tried recently include Monopoly Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Monopoly Chance. Monopoly Chance is the most different from the standard Monopoly formula and I think definitely worth checking out because it has different game mechanics and vibrant plastic skyscrapers. Although both of those games are longer I think they are more fun than Monopoly Deal.Monopoly Deal is easy to play, it's small/travel-size, but I don't think it's one that I will keep. There are a lot of other card games that are small and quick to play that are more fun.If you are interested in small card games that are easy to play with families, I would recommend instead Life Goals, Timeline or Cardline (at least it's educational and has lots of picture), Similo, or Abandon All Artichokes.
