Monopoly Classic Board Game

Monopoly is the classic board game that you all know, and despite the many modern variances of the game the classic version is the best value and still the best seller. Invented in 1934, moving round the board from Old Kent Road to Mayfair trying to stay out of jail became a well known path for kids throughout the years, and it still offers the same entertainment in 2009.

As well as being a fun game, it is also educational since it teaches you about strategy, arithmetic, risk and reward, which has helped it sell over 200 million sets worldwide. Do you go for houses, hotels, the train stations or utilities, do you want to go early in the hope that you pick up the useful roads or do you play conservative? The great thing is that you can change your approach each time you play so that one game is never replicated. It is quite common to set a time limit of 45 minutes or an hour for a game, so you can even change your strategy and play two games in an evening!

Quite simply this is a great present for the whole family and one that you can play for years to come. Recommended for ages 8+, available from Amazon
