. . .but I just can't get excited by this game.
I learned how to play "Monopoly" at the age of 5.  My eldest son learned how to play at 8.  My kids enjoy the real game.  They don't enjoy the "kids" version.
Kids are brighter than most adults give them credit for.  The original game is a wonderful teaching tool on a number of levels.  I don't see the point in "dumbing down" when it is not necessary.
Parents, teach your children how to play the REAL GAME.  Then, there can be some valuable family time.  The adults will too quickly get bored with this version -- and frankly, so will the kids.
Don't waste your time or money.
