Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Deal Card Game, Quick-Playing Card Game for 2-5 Players, Game for Families and Kids, Ages 8 and Up (Amazon Exclusive)

Lightning Fast Monopoly
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.

Fun and Quick Card Game!
I recently bought the Hasbro Gaming Monopoly Deal Card Game, and it has quickly become a favorite in our family! The gameplay is fast-paced and perfect for 2-5 players, making it great for game nights. The cards are of good quality and have held up well to repeated use.Overall, this game is a fantastic addition to our collection. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and quick card game!

What a fun game! Familiar due to the Monopoly connection, but way faster!
A friend brought this game along on a camping trip. We played it a few times and really liked it so we bought it when we got home. It has been a “go to” quick game when we have a few minutes before the next thing. Games last 15 to 30 minutes and feel like a nice blend of luck and strategy.

Love this game!
Try it! It is better than the full Monopoly game very quick to play and so fun

Viene en inglés, no es tan fácil entenderle las reglas aún así con un poco de esfuerzo. Lo recomiendo.

Kids really like to enjoy, they are always excited to play. It can be completed within 15 mins. If 2 players playing would be good to have 5 sets to win. 3 sets are too easy. Rules are not complex too. Go for it.

Good quality game cards my 9 year old loved it.
