We all grew up with Monopoly, but times have changed and kids like to look for characters the recognize now.

Monopoly Clone Wars provides the same basic game, but with new figures (Clone Commander Rex, Asajj Ventress, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous, and Ahsoka Tano) 28 new properties, also Sith and Ransom spaces instead of community chest and chance. There are some optional Star Wars rules included, but we haven’t had a chance to try out yet. Overall it’s been a fun game.

If you’re looking for a gift for the Star Wars fan or Monopoly collector in your life maybe this is it.

I bought one for my 8-year old son and one for my 7-year old nephew. We play it all the time. The boys love the different characters and features (like Republic “credits” instead of dollars)and it really shows off their math skills. The instruction booklet gives several different play options beyond regular monopoly, all revolving around either a Jedi or Sith theme, which I think will intrigue the boys as they get older and don’t need Mom to play along as much. We just play straight-up monopoly right now. One caveat: although the booklet gives you the basic overview of standard monolopy, a few things are missing altogether (like the Free Parking kitty) and some of the finer rules. So, if you aren’t up to speed on your Monopoly rules, you might need further information.

I swear we must have half a dozen versions of Monopoly in our house. From the standard board game, and its specialty-market cousins, to the Star Wars CD Rom version for the family PC. Well, our son is big into the new Clone Wars series, so he received this for Christmas. Not sure what to say… its Monopoly.

As with other branded editions, Park Place and Chance have been replaced with appropriate substitutions. The money is Republic Credits and the figures are straight out of this chapter of the Star Wars saga. As a collectible, or one more flavor of Monopoly in YOUR family game closet, its a winner.

I always loved Monopoly growing up- bought this one for our son who loves Star Wars- BIG hit, he is 7! Now he knows why we have to learn addition, subtractions, multiplication, division, percentages, etc. He is having so much fun and learning so much- not to mention the strategy invovled. Now he wants his skills to be sharper so he can play better- it was a lesson he learned on his own thanks to this game.

Perfect gift for the star wars lover. My son loves this game. It provides some educational value too in counting the money, properties, collecting rents, etc. Great family game.
