Monopoly Animal Crossing New Horizons Edition Board Game for Kids Ages 8 and Up, Fun Game to Play for 2-4 Players, Multicolor

It's a great game and really enjoyed by my 5 year old. There is alot of small pieces and is a bit of a pain to set up but fun to play.

I got this as a gift for Christmas and I am so happy with it! Every element of the game has Animal Crossing charm to it. It’s so cute, and not difficult to play. It’s not like traditional monopoly, and the games don’t last too long. I didn’t find gameplay boring at any point. It does take a while to setup the game initially (make sure to pop out all the counters ahead of your first game!). Great gift overall! :)

I like it when alternate versions of Monopoly add variances to the standard game, to add to replayability etc. However, this game is not Monopoly. Regardless of enjoyment, if you're looking for a game like the original board game where you move around the board buying cute characters, furniture or collectibles, this is not it. That doesn't mean it isn't fun, but the ONLY thing that is the same as original Monopoly is there is a Go to Jail, Just Visiting and Free Parking spaces. You don't even roll the same dice. There is a GO space, but it operates entirely differently to original Monopoly.This would've been fine as a standalone board game without the Monopoly tag, and may have even allowed flexibility to try new things and make it more exciting. Perhaps the board could've been of an animal crossing island, each quarter being a different season (each side of the Monopoly board is one of the four seasons - brown & light blue is fall, for example) and a nice woodland style trail to represent the spaces you move would've been very cute to any AC fan.You go around collecting one of the four collectibles in the game, one space for each season - fruit, insect, fossil, fish. Each time you roll the dice, you roll 1 normal six sided, and then one custom dice which represents a resource you can choose to sell at the end of your turn for bells. You can choose to hold on to these, however, as instead of Community Chests there are Nook Mile objectives, which like in New Horizons, will give you a task to fulfil such as giving four tokens (eg. Fruit) to the bank, in which case selling your resources straight away can be a bad idea - some will reward you for completing, others will penalise you for NOT completing. These are my favourite part of the game, as it adds a lot more purpose to playing.When you pass GO, you can choose to spend your bells on decoration items (furniture players of New Horizons may recognise from the game). Each of these items, upon finishing the game, count towards your total Nook Miles, the currency to decide the winner. If you're looking for alternate ways to play, you could try keeping a theme to your pretend house, and thus only allowing each player to buy furniture that would suit their theme. (My partner only bought furniture suitable for a winter cabin, whilst I focused on summer resort styles)Overall I would say the game is far simpler (and also far more pleasant - if you get into family arguments in this 'Monopoly' I'd be very concerned) than the original. I'd say there's probably quite a few house rules you can implement to make it more challenging, depending on the age range of players.In terms of the packaging and presentation, however, I am less impressed, hence why the review isn't 5*. The box was sealed by stick-down stickers over each edge, and on removing them peeled off the artwork and thus making the box look old and tatty. There are also hundreds of pieces, all of which need to be separated by each of the colour groups on the board. No easy task! Do yourself a favour and before playing the game, get some small bags, pots or anything you can get to separate the different colours. This should've already been provided as it'll be an incredible chore to try and set up the game each time.You also have to put stickers on the custom dice yourself, which felt unnecessary, and like something that could've been done for you. The stickers were again poor quality and we almost lost one to damage whilst trying to peel it, which would've of course greatly impacted the game.Overall, this would be better suited without the Monopoly tag as it is entirely a different game, but is very fun nonetheless. My recommendation to all players is to consider inventing some house rules to add to the challenge (age depending) and definitely most certainly find a solution to separate all the coloured tiles. You'll thank me for this if you do it from the off.

So much fun , played with my 22 year old daughter and 14 year old granddaughter,

Great price and quality for lover of the game

This is perfect for any Animal Crossing fan.Not played the same as normal Monopoly but fun to play nevertheless.Suitable for all ages.Storage tub is a must! There are sooo many pieces!

I read a review that said the game needed lots of setting up and should be done beforehand.I bought some little boxes at the same time as the game and have pre-prepared it for Xmas day!There are 22 different coloured counters, so very glad we won’t be sorting while making Xmas dinner too!

Bought this my daughter for Christmas. Great game of Monopoly for any Animal Crossing lover. Quite a bit to get used to at first, but definitely good fun - my daughter loved it!One thing I must stress is buy small storage boxes as there's so many different pieces required to play the game, you definitely don't want them lose in the box as you're guaranteed to lose some.I bought the pictured ones off Amazon, which cost no more than £4 for two - an absolute mess-saver! We put disused hair bobbles around the cards otherwise they'll be all over the place too...
