Each player’s color-coded player tokens are Monopoly Junior’s version of the property card you buy in normal Monopoly. When a player buys a property, they put their token on it. The tokens have photos of their corresponding character on them.
If you’re playing with a child who’s enthusiastic about being the banker, let them do it! This is a fun way for them to practice counting and money management.
For a game with 2 players, everyone gets $20. For a game with 3 players, everyone gets $18. For a game with 4 players, everyone gets $16.
This is a great time to introduce the idea of clockwise and counterclockwise if your child isn’t familiar with them!
Unlike traditional Monopoly, there is no choice involved when you land on property. However, if you want to increase the complexity of the game for older players, feel free to auction properties off and give players the choice to buy each square or auction it off. If a player cannot purchase a property they land on, the game ends.
For example, if you land on a $2 red property and the same player owns both of the red properties, you’d pay $4.
Some of the alternative versions of Monopoly Junior have unique rules with their Chance cards. Refer to your instructions if you aren’t using the default version of the game.
Remember, if a player rolls a number that causes them to land on the jail square, they’re “just visiting” and they don’t have to pay anything. In normal Monopoly, you can try and roll doubles on the two dice for up to 3 turns to try and get out of jail. In Monopoly Junior, you don’t get that option. You still collect rent while you’re in jail.
If any players are tied, add up the value of each player’s properties. Whoever owns the most expensive real estate portfolio is declared the winner!
If a player cannot pay another player or the bank by selling their properties, then they go completely bankrupt and the game ends.
