The wheeling, dealing property game has gone portable! Just like a real property tycoon, now you can make deals on the go.

This handy travel sized version of the game is ideal for carrying and playing while on the move, just don't pass Go and end up in Jail!

Fairly complete but...
This is a pretty complete version of the game, although I do recommend having a large playing surface so as to minimise the chances of losing one of the dinky pieces (there are about 60 bits in total, not including the property cards and money).

The quality of construction is fine. The only thing I don't like is the Chance/Community Chest system. Rather than having the cards (these are the only pieces not present from the full game) you have 3 dice and a numbered list of outcomes. The trouble is that due to the laws of distribution, some outcomes (those near the middle of the list) are much more likely than the ones at the top and bottom. I would recommend either getting a 16 sided di or pinching these cards from another game.

Play it on a very large table if you dare
In all i now have six different versions of travel Monopoly,and the only problem with them is that all the pieces are so small that game play is not impossible but pretty difficult.

Loose one of the pieces which is almost inevitable then the idea of travel Monopoly soon becomes a nuisance.

The only reason these minascule games sell is because it is based on Monopoly,any other game and people would soon realise they are far too small to be practicable.

Even the so called magnetic version is far from ideal because the strength of the magnets is very weak.
These pieces are designed for very small hands such as young children but since youngsters would love to eat the counters such a game would be deemed out of bounds.

Keep these games for their novelty value because playing them is far from easy.

Mini Monopoly
Like the other reviewer, I agree that the game pieces are very small and dinky, and the plastic pieces are not as good as the magnetic travel version in the white leather-look wallet that came out a few years ago. Not only is the new version chunkier, but it's very easy to knock everything over being so lightweight, and if you drop a piece on the plane, that's it, you'll never find it again! Other than that, the game remains intact, and well worth the asking price, if you fancy a game on the move. If you can get the older magnetic version on ebay etc, you may be better with that if you fancy a game on the plane.

Monopoly Letdown
What on earth?
I bought this item because I wanted something easy to take along with me, but it has more bits and bobs than the actual game! In the end, it has no space to put the game back! However, it's a very good price and I have nothing to say against that. I will almost guarantee that smaller children will lose the microscopic pieces. Not nearly as fun as original.

I hope this helps!
