If you love dogs or happen to own one, and you like "Monopoly", then I highly recommend this game! It is played just like the original "Monopoly", but with a very obvious twist...instead of the focus of the game being moving your car (or in this game, dog-related item.) around the board (which has been altered to a cute doggy version) and rushing to purchase property, the fun is doubled as you get to purchase dogs instead! Let me tell you, the bids were high when my grandma was considering auctioning off the Boston Terrier (the breed of my closest furry friend)! And what was even more exciting was the fact that a big picture of a Boston Terrier sits right in the center of the board! Anyway, I can't speak for everyone when I say that you'll find your dog in the game, but the game is still loads of fun, and very kid-friendly. Besides teaching managing money with dogs, it also teaches about the different breeds featured in the game. (Read the backs of the cards with the dogs on them.)

Overall, I highly recommend this game! I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to play it again! (This time I WILL get the Boston Terrier!)

This game is very fun and cute. There are many diffrent dogs featured as the properties. Such as the Boston Terrier or the Golden Retriever. the game pieces are cute a Mail Carrier and a Fire hydrant and many other pieces. Overall if like Monoply and if you like dogs this is the game for you.

I gave this game to my grandson for his birthday. Recently, we went to school for Grandparent's Day. There was a list of questions to ask the grandchild, including what is his favorite game. He immediately said "Dogopoly." His sister later gave the same answer. They have a lot of games, but they play this one often! Thanks!

My son and I are enjoying this game greatly!! Regular Monopoly is one of my favorite games, but did not keep my son interested long enough to play a full game. This one keeps his interest and we have both enjoyed playing. We have also learned several dog facts that we didn't know before! This is definately a purchase that I am glad that I made!!!

My 5 year old is addicted to this game, we played it every day for the first couple of months we had it, sometimes more. It was so educational for him to learn larger numbers, and how to put the money together a certain way to make up how much he owed, and is now starting to be able to make change. It's amazing, he's five and can add and subtract large numbers using money!! I recommend it for everyone!!! I love it too, it is so much fun!!

First I have to say Thank You to Amazon for having this game. This was on my daughter's Christmas list and Amazon was the only place I could find it. Second, my daughter loves this game and so do her friends. They have played the game more than any other she received.

I have not played the Dog Monopoly only this product Dogopoly, and I enjoyed it. My sister plays it with all her friends and they play it a lot surprisingly. It has the same features as Monopoly except instead of property it's dogs. I think the dogs make it more fun. Also my sister will trade me a good property for a lousy one just because she likes the dog better. Some how she still wins. I enjoy the playing pieces, they are good quality. This game is some what hard to find, and Amazon is the cheapest place I know to find it.

When I ordered Dogopoly, I thought that all Dogopoly games were the same with metal game pieces (a fire hydrant, a flea, a T-Bone steak, etc.) as pictured - just like regular Monopoly game pieces.

I was not aware (until now) that there is a "cheaper" version that has colored wooden dog bowls and dog bones for game pieces. I purchased this as a gift for a retiring executive who is a serious dog lover. It seemed like the perfect gift for that purpose.

Unfortunately, I received the "cheaper" version. I say "cheaper" because this game cost the same as the nicer version. I don't understand why there are two versions with the exact same outside cover. I am very embarrassed and disappointed with this item. Although this is not a reflection on the vendor, I feel tricked into buying the game that I really wanted and ended up with something else - something I wish I hadn't purchased.

When to box arrived, I took the game out and wrapped it (in dog wrapping paper, of course). The entire office gathered around to witness the event. I was expecting to point out the cute metal game pieces, and to my horror, saw colored wooden dog bowls and dog bones instead. I am so embarrased.

We bought this for my 8 year old, who loves animals. She loves the game, and we have had a great time playing it with her. The only difference in this, and real Monopoly is that you are buying dogs and dog houses instead of property and hotels.

I bought this game for my friend who has never owned a board game but enjoys playing them and loves dogs. He was thrilled to open it and thought the cover of the game was incredibly cute. But more importantly, the game play is just as fun. It can be played just like Monopoly, except there's dogs instead of properties. As we were playing, my friend continually kept saying Cool! when he discovered something new about the game. For example, there's facts about the dogs on the back of each card; Good Dog and Bad Dog replace Chance and Community Chest and there's cards like "Move any other player's token back three spaces." and Go Fetch replaces the simple Go card. Late for the Sky Productions thought of everything when they created this game and it really is a gem of a find.
