Monopoly Junior

Overview

Monopoly Junior is a simplified version of Monopoly designed for children ages 5-8. Players move around a boardwalk-themed board, setting up Ticket Booths on amusement spaces and collecting entrance fees from other players. The game ends when any player runs out of money, and the player with the most cash wins.

Components

• 1 game board (boardwalk theme)
• 4 car movers
• 1 die
• 48 plastic Ticket Booths (4 sets of 12, one per color)
• 24 Chance (“?”) cards
• Monopoly brand play money ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5 denominations)

Setup

1. Each player picks a car mover and places it on “GO!” Extras are set aside.
2. Each player takes 10 Ticket Booths matching their mover color (12 in a 2-player game). Extras set aside.
3. Shuffle Chance cards and place face down on the marked board space.
4. Choose a Banker. The Banker gives each player: five $1s, four $2s, three $3s, one $4, and one $5.
5. Roll the die; highest roll goes first.

Turn Structure

On your turn:

1. Roll the die.

Actions

Board Spaces

Space	Effect
Unoccupied Amusement	Pay the Bank the amount shown, then place one of your Ticket Booths on it
Occupied Amusement	Pay the booth owner the amount shown. If owner has both same-color amusements, pay double
GO!	Collect $2 from the Bank each time you pass (do not forget!)
Railroad	Roll again, move, and follow instructions on the new space
Fireworks / Water Show	Pay $2, place it on the “Rich Uncle Pennybags’ Loose Change” space

Chance (?)	Draw top Chance card, follow instructions, discard face up

Chance Cards

• “Go To” / “Take a Ride”: Move immediately to the indicated space and follow its instructions. Collect $2 if you pass GO.
• Free Ticket Booth: Place one of your unused Ticket Booths on either unoccupied amusement of the shown color. If both have different-colored booths, replace either one (return removed booth to its owner). If both have same-color booths, you cannot replace; discard this card and draw a new one.

Scoring / Victory Conditions

The game ends as soon as any player runs out of money. All other players count their cash on hand. The player with the most money wins.

Special Rules & Edge Cases

• If you cannot pay the exact amount, the Banker makes change.
• Owning both amusements of the same color means opponents pay double the listed amount on either.
• Same-color pair booths cannot be replaced by Free Ticket Booth Chance cards.
• If the Chance draw pile is exhausted, flip the discard pile and reuse it.
