3.0 out of 5 stars Cat-Opoly April 9, 2004

A Kid's Review

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is awesome! I learned a lot about money, cat breeds, real estate, and life when I played. It is also a lot of fun. But, like Monopoly, it can get boring. The "money" tears easily and the plastic banker trays are large and in the way. I've also noticed that the Cat-Opoly game doesn't come with as much "money" as the Parker Brothers Monopoly. But I still give it two thumbs up. Even my mom will play with me!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Monopoly with cats June 16, 2002

By Shantell Powell

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

This is Monopoly with a cat theme instead of a real estate theme. The game play is identical, but instead of houses and hotels, you get litter boxes and fish bones. Instead of Community Chest and Chance, you get Purrfect and Cat-astrophe. Free Parking becomes Catnip, and Jail becomes Water. You get the idea.

The only real difference is the feline trivia on the backs of the "real estate" cards (actually cat breed cards).

Game pieces are cute. Instead of little metal hats, cannons, etc., you get fish cans, sardines, a mouse, a ball of yarn, and an old-fashioned milk bottle.

If you like Monopoly and you like cats, you'll really appreciate this game. However, if you, like me, secretly call the original Parker Brothers game Monotony, then this will not fill any attention span deficits.

5.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly fun November 17, 2006

By A. Hall

One particularly boring night after just moving and no TV, I pulled out this game (received as a birthday gift 'cause I'm a fan of cats) and introduced the world of monopoly via catopoly to my husband, his brother and wife. We had a ball! The fact that it's centered on cats had no bearing at all on how much fun it was. I doubt they even read the cat facts on the back...they're too interested in winning.

I found this version of the game to be more interesting than remembered games as a kid...could have been the company, but it could have also been the lightheartedness of the theme...there wasn't too much stress on becoming a real estate tycoon.

The quality of and thought that went into the cards, boards, and pieces (as mentioned in another review) are also appreciated.
