> 24 hourGame is very easy to learn and play, takes the heavy marathon board game and transforms it into a light, sprint or dash card game! Monopoly is enjoyable once again! As far as value for the money, you wont find a better deal than $3.99 for this game anywhere. Even here in Amazon there are at least 4 different/unique printings/versions of the exact same set of cards with the only difference between any of them being the card illustrations. This item (the Blue Box set) is the least expensive if any of the variant printings/versions. The Green Box Amazon Special printing/version is exactly double ($7.98) the price of this Blue Box item, but the card graphics/texts/and illustrations of theGreen Box cards are larger and WAY easier to read. In my humble opinion, that in itself makes it worth it to spring for the Green Box set rather than just save money on the Blue Box set. Next up from the Green Box set is the Black Box set, which, once again, is double the price of the previous set (Green Box), and almost a full 4x the price ($14.99) of the Blue Box set being reviewed here in this item. But the Black Box set of cards is still identical to the Green Box set, so only buy the Black Box set if you want to WASTE...THROW AWAY...SQUANDER your money (or, just because you like the black box color better than the green or the blue!)! Lastly, my overall rating is a 4-Star rating...it is knocked down from being 5-Stars only because of the poor readability of the cards in this Blue Box set. I didnt go lower than a 4-Star rating because, even though the cards are more difficult to read than any other set, the graphics/texts/illustrations are very attractive to look at, much more graphically creative and pleasing to the eye at first glance than any of the other card sets are. So its up to you to decide which set youll go with...Blue, Green, or Black. The game content (# of cards, instructions/rules sheet/4-Quick Reference cards) of the boxes of each different set are IDENTICAL and the gameplay is EXACTLY THE SAME. The weight/quality of the cards in each of the various sets is also exactly the same. It really does come down to price, card readability, and graphic esthetics.

> 24 hourEnjoy the game so much. Bought a 2nd deck for boyfriend. He was a little concerned of the card sturdiness. But we enjoy playing it often. Easy instructions to read.

> 24 hourLove this game and never had any issues in the past, but this new deck I purchased has been ripping already. All we do is shuffle and it starts falling apart - what’s going on with this quality? Terrible. I recommend the game but not the quality.

> 24 hourEverything you like about the board game but quicker. The first time we played we played about 6 games in a row. Very fun. Probably will not go back to the board game now.

> 24 hourI really enjoy Monopoly Deal. In fact, I like it more than the traditional board game. Pros: - Games take WAY less time to complete than an actual game of Monopoly - It still has elements of the original game, so it feels very Monopoly-like. You still collect properties in order to win the game, and you still collect/pay out money. - The rules are simple, yet there is still some strategy involved in the game. There are two elements to the game and you have to manage between the two: property and money, in order to win the game. Cons: - The only con, which you can certainly jedi-mind trick people with...is the design of the card backs are a specific design in which you can tell if a card is right side up, or upside down. Some people will hold money or property upside down, so it kind of is deceiving. - There are a few card types that are super powerful in the game. Luckily there arent too many of those in the deck, but a well time use of a special card can really sway the scales of the game. Sometimes you just get lucky, but thats Monopoly folks :p
