Monopoly Voice Banking Electronic Family Board Game for Ages 8 & Up

There is nothing we do not like about this game. Sure, the voice recognition is a little annoying at times with not understanding correctly, but mostly it just adds to some extra laughs. We have played this game several times over the last few weeks because game time is short (under an hour.) You could never do that with the original. We played the original on New Year's Eve just for traditions sake and by the two hour mark, with no end in sight, we were calling players back to their seat every turn and I was already ready to flip the board over due to boredom. You know the feeling.Pros of the game:- My children ages 8 and up can play together without adults no problem.- No paper money (best thing in my opinion).- Faster game play, easier rules.- Mr. Monopoly keeps track of everything.- You always know who is winning just by asking Mr. Monopoly.- Game play ends when first player goes bankrupt.- No desire to flip the board.Cons:Voice recognition isn't always perfect, but nbd.Pro tips:Mr. Monopoly has his set phrases he will respond to which are laid out in the directions. Ex: "Pay rent on" "Buy..."He has extra phrases however that are fun to figure out on your own. We discovered some by accident and my children have been yacking into the box for days trying to figure out more.Some extra ones we found:If you say, "Mr. Monopoly, thank you," he will respond with "What nice manners you have! I'm adding 50 extra dollars to your account." This only works once per player. Don't go crazy.If you say, "Mr. Monopoly, Merry Christmas!" He will respond with "Let's do this," and some added dance music. Warning, we also said " Let's do this" to him as well and he responded with the same phrase and dance music so really we don't know what the magical phrase is.Last of all, we discovered if we say, "Mr. Monopoly, you're the best," he responded with, " Gasp! How rude! I'm taking 50 dollars and adding it to the swear jar!" So basically we don't know what he thought we said, but our kids tell us we can practice to see after they go to bed. May happen.The fun never ends.Hope you enjoy it as much as our family has!

This game was so much fun. My kids loved it, it's easy to understand and operate, u just can't speak loudly directly into it. Great game for the whole family

I'm a huge benefit and I have different versions of the game. This so far is the best version I have ever played. You don't have to worry about the money and 2 properties make a Monopoly. You can trade when you land on the spot which makes the game a lot funner. This game ends faster than the original version and keeps track for you. If there is background noise it doesn't like to register what you say so you got to play in a quiet spot. I highly recommend getting this Monopoly version.

I would love to give a review on my product however I have not yet received my order. My last three orders with Amazon have either been lost or “delayed in transit.” Not worth having Amazon prime! I can give this product a five star due to my son having this game. A lot of fun.

My 7 year old son asked for this for Christmas. I was hesitant because we already have two other versions of Monopoly at home however I'm pleased with this game. It's a much quicker version of the game so you can play it more often. Once we learned what to say it was easy to play. The only downsides I see are that you do not know how much money you have in your bank so it can be harder to make decisions, you have to have minimal background noise or it has trouble understanding you and you need to speak very clearly and enunciate well. It struggles sometimes with my son's southern accent. Overall a very fun game.

Fantastic version of the Monopoly Board game. Solid 5 stars. Hasbro has made the game really easy to play by putting in voice control and a "Mr. Monopoly" that handles all the money, properties, game cards and keeps track of everything for you so you can concentrate on building your Monopoly empire and crushing your opponents! The voice recognition is great and the game had no problem understanding all of us and taking commands. The instructions are very straight forward and simple. A few things have been added to the game which makes it even more fun. If one player decides not to purchase a property, It can go up on an auction and Mr. Monopoly handles that too. All I can say is that if you like Monopoly, your going to love this one.

We played it for the first time tonight, and it was actually a lot of fun. Our 9 year old son loved it. There is no money to keep track of, which is kind of nice. The top hat keeps track of your properties and your cash flow. The game did seem to go on for quite a while, because everyone was able to build a hotel on all properties rather quickly. Then when one would not have enough money, the property goes to the other person. And then it just seemed to go back and forth a lot, so we had to ask Mr Monopoly who was winning, and then ended the game that way. But it is very enjoyable, especially for the price. I would definitely recommend this game.

So the voice banker doesn't always understand what you're saying, which can be irritating and mess the game up. You also can't really do house rules (free parking etc.) that said, it makes monopoly fast. You can play the whole game in 30 min.
