Product Description

Editorial Review

What a fun way to learn about combining coins! The object of this colorful and compact board game is to earn money while winding along a cartoon path. Money is earned by landing on a square labeled with a practical chore, such as setting the table (31 cents), or an entrepreneurial endeavor, such as a lemonade stand (15 cents). In order to collect money, the spinner is used to determine which coins can or cannot be taken from the bank. If the spinner lands on "no nickels" then you collect your change with any coins except for nickels. There's an additional incentive to use critical thinking and coin combining skills. Extra money can be earned if you land on a "Bank Exchange" space and exchange your coins (for example, two nickels for a dime). As you may have suspected, the player with the most money at the end wins. --Lauren Bernard

I use this game in the classroom as a math support teacher and at home with my kids. All of the kids love it and it moves at a good pace. I appreciate how the game doesn't just let the kids always decide what combination of coins they'll use to represent a certain value. When they spin the spinner, it will sometimes land on no dimes or no nickels, and so on. So they need to figure out how to make a certain amount without those coins.

We got this game when my daughter was in first grade. She was having some trouble with her homework because the worksheets made it difficult for her to tell the difference between some of the coins. She was getting frustrated and kept saying, "I don't get it."

This game helped her get more comfortable with money, the value of money, and counting money.

Many educational games aren't nearly as fun as traditional board games. Not this one. This plays as well as any traditional board game. It's easy to follow (even my five-year-old played). It also plays quickly, which is great for the young players with shorter attention spans. I plan on purchasing more of this brand.
