This review is from: Monopoly® SpongeBob SquarePants™ Edition (Toy)

Monopoly has undergone yet another facelift- the Spongebob Squarepants edition features Pineapples and Krusty Krabs in lieu of houses and hotels. Play as SB, Patrick, Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs, Squidward or Gary the Snail. "Community Chest" and "Chance" cards have been replaced with "Treasure Chest" and "Life Preserver" cards. This particular version has a unique twist: a "Plankton coin" is placed on the 1st property ("Plankton's Lab"). Everytime a player rolls a "1" on the dice, Plankton advances 1 spot. When he makes it all the way around the board to the Krusty Krab (which replaces "Boardwalk"- "Park Place" is Spongebob's Pineapple), the game is automatically over, no matter who's turn is next. Players then tally up their net worth ($$$, property and all) and the player worth the most dough wins. This is a nice feature when playing with impatient kids that may not have the tolerance to sit through a traditional Monopoly marathon. Our kids are learning the value of money- my 6 year old son realized he'd have to forego buying the "Mermalair" if he wanted to buy the Krusty Krab. He has since decided to save his allowance for an upcoming Chicago trip instead of blowing it on toys or candy. I also have my kids count the money out to me, which their teachers tell me has improved their schoolwork regarding money. So, yes, this is a very educational game- kids learn you have to earn money and spend it wisely to come out on top. We love it and so will you.

I always loved Monopoly as a kid, but I had no idea what educational value it offered until my son used his report card money to buy this. My husband and I played it with him and after the first round his math skills had at least doubled!
He loves it and is so motivated, he has no idea he is learning! I L-O-V-E the Plankton rule! No more three day Monopoly games like when I was a kid, you can play a full game and still get the kiddies to bed on time. I know this is a lot pricier than the original, but I honestly don't think my son would be anywhere near as excited if it did not involve Spongebob!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, December 7, 2006

This review is from: Monopoly® SpongeBob SquarePants™ Edition (Toy)

My husband and I purchased the Spongebob Monopoly game after my 2 year old saw us picking out board games. Yes, he is too young to know how to play, but since he loves the show so much, we are finally allowed to play a board game without him becoming impatient. It is also a great way to teach him about taking turns; he picks a character at the beginnning of each game and gets to roll the dice and move his character. As it has been noted in other reviews, this Monopoly game finally has real custom pieces for the houses and hotels. We think it is a lot more fun than the original (possibly because we played the old one too often).
