Monopoly will probably be the most popular board game ever, with Scrabble, uno and pictionary following in as close runner-ups. Well, the board game has evolved to catch up with the ‘green’ times. A cool combination of Monopoly and the Planet Earth series, this new version is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
Fit for 9-12 year olds (I’d say grown-ups too), Planet Earth Monopoly reinforces math and reading skills with the new and improved Deed cards. The information printed on the back of these cards is enlightening. For example, if you purhase the Madagascar card you will find data on Baobab trees printed on its back. Play this game and you will know that the Nile Crocodile can weigh 2400lbs. The kids love to learn about new things about the planet this way. Plus the race to save the Earth too is helped.
On top of all this, the game is a visual treat. Say bye bye to the little pewter dog and race car, the new hits are the pewter polar bear and blue whale. The Deed cards and money have landscapes and wildlife printed from all over the world.
Chance cards are now Global Exploration cards and Community Chest cards are Animal Encounter cards. Yep, you still go to jail for disturbing a hibernating polar bear and her cubs!
Go get a set after all the box is made from 100 per cent material.
