This is a potentially fun idea. The directions are a bit complicated and take some getting used to.
We had thought the game was going to be a quick and easy version of the classic.

Parker Bros./Hasbro has succeeded in creating something new that looks and feels like the Monopoly Board game, but plays as fast as a round of Gin Rummy! Monopoly Deal is much too competitive to be played with only 2 people; I’ve played it with 3 and 4 people and it moves fast and furious! If you loved the board game as a kid, you’ll love this latest incarnation!

My wife and I got bored quickly. It is a little random, but might be more fun with 4 players instead of just 2.

We absolutely love this game which does require problem-solving and strategic thinking. The age of the game was 8+. We have an 8 year old and after three hands in which we finally figured out the rules he was done playing. I would suggest practicing the game before introducing the younger players to the game. It is not a game in which you get the entire plan in just one game. In each of the first three games we encountered different situations that required a look at the directions. It is addicting and after we played the ‘practice games’, the adults continued on for the entire afternoon. It is a game we will be introducing to others.

I got this (as well as the Scrabble Slam game) as a gift to give my sister and her kids for Christmas because they love to play games together. I picked up a set for myself and family as well. We absolutely LOVE this game and are addicted to it. Its our new FAVORITE to play together. It is still completely competitive like the normal Monopoly and cut-throat, trying to out-smart your opponents. A lot of different new cards to learn but its easy. Just play it together openly a few times to learn the cards and help each other and then play for real. Just read the cards. If you can read you can play. It goes pretty quick (about 20-40 mins per game) depending on how many play.
Its full of twists and turns so no game is the same.
There are a few rules that are not 100% clear or specifically stated in the rules. You may have to make up some on our own to cover any special situations.
Cards can get bent easily if not taken care of and then it makes it very hard to shuffle or have the desk sit flat and not accordion on you. We put the draw deck in 2 piles to help solve this so they dont fall over.
I got the version that DIDNT come with the card shuffler/holder. Wish I knew about that one as it would be nice to have as the cardboard box it comes in will tear/rip easily after a few opens/closes. You may have to put them in a zip lock bag to store them if this happens. If you have young kids, the cards may get lost so maybe think about getting the other version with the plastic holder/shaker. (I cant comment on the quality of that since I dont own it).
All in all a GREAT game.
If you have folks that HATE Monopoly because it takes too long, THIS game will change their mind and they will enjoy it for sure.
Just get it and have LOTS of fun with your family and friends trying to dominate each other in this fast and fun game.
Enjoy
