Junior Travel

Code: ???

Manufacturer: Waddingtons

Instead of actually collecting sets of properties in this travel edition of Monopoly Junior, players trade ownership of single properties. (Each colour group has only one property in it).

Using their tokens as cranks, players update the cleverly-designed inboard displays to indicate ownership and number of ticket booths on the property. The die is replaced by a spinner, as is the deck of chance cards. The only parts left somewhat loose are the dollar bills, for which there are clips for each player, the bank's denominations, and even Loose Change.

Travel Junior

Manufacturer:

Waddingtons / Tonka

Ref. 44653

Dimensions of the box:

24.5 x 24.5 cm

This game for children is as clumsy as the Travel Edition for adults. The blue box consists again of 4 elements that have to carefully be disassembled.

For the rest the game is similar to the earlier described Junior Edition. So it can be played by 4 children at the maximum. They go to the fun fair where they can buy stalls. The amounts they play with are also considerably lower than in the adults game. The names of the 4 stations are Yellow Line, Green Line, Blue line and Red Line, so the colours of the 4 players. Here again the cards and banknotes are (inevitably) very small and therefore not to suitable for children.
