Fun & Unique! Highly recommend!
Def a 5 star game! We have been having fun with this one and playing it a lot. Each game takes us around an hour. Doesn’t take forever to play like traditional Monopoly. This is more like Scrabble with a twist, so Scrabble fans should enjoy it especially.I love the different game play of this. There is some strategy to it. The longest or highest scoring word possible isn’t necessarily the best play. You might prefer to play what would traditionally be a lower scoring word to strategically land on free parking, chance, avoid paying rent, etc.Also, it’s fun the bank has letters anyone can buy. It gives you more options for what kind of words you can make and gives more opportunities for longer words (if playing longer words is in your best interest and doesn’t put your most coveted properties at risk.This is def a good one & a new fav addition to our game collection. Highly recommend!

Fun, Fast, Enjoyable
I’m an avid Scrabble player, or rather I became one in the last couple of years playing with my parents weekly. My mother had purchased a travel Scrabble first, but as my father’s ability to place small tiles on the small board, she determined we needed a full size board and replaced it with one.My nephew came over one time to play with us and brought his Deluxe carry version. I enjoyed it so much that I bought one of those. We played on that until my father passed away.After that I continued to go to my mother’s place and we would occasionally play with the Deluxe Scrabble but the fun was gone, and we would play Sequence.Then my brother started joining us and Scrabble became the fun one to play.I saw a commercial online for this game and thought it might be fun, so I purchased it from Amazon. Soon the fun returned with a vengeance. My mother enjoyed playing this because keeping track of points went out the window. This game is based on who has the most money instead of points.The points from words played counted towards moving your Monopoly pieces around the board. The only ways to get property were either from Community Chest and Chance cards plus most of the double letter score spots on the Scrabble portion are now property, laying a word over these spaces gives you the property.. no more buying property, no dice, really lends speed to the game.The only problem I’ve experienced is the tile spaces are larger than the letter tiles, meaning that you need to space out the words, which reduces the stability of the game and the quality isn’t that great either. The Scrabble portion areas aren’t all that readable for the elderly, but the property colors make up for it. There are only 10 property cards, one railroad, one utilities, etc. each card lists all the properties that used to be on the outside Monopoly board, these have been replaced by more Community Chest, Chance, and “Go directly to Free Parking” spaces.It may not sound as much fun as the games are separately, but the speed and combination really makes for a fun hour or two.

Two of the best games combined into one!
This is the perfect game for Scrabble and Monopoly lovers! I'm 64 and really loved playing this game with my husband! It was a faster paced game than Monopoly alone, as it lasts about an hour. It was really fun learning to play a new game. Why had I not found this sooner!

A fun new twist on the classics
As a long time Scrabble lover and Monopoly hater, I can say this game is super fun. Mainly because it plays faster than either of the originals. On the Scrabble end there will be no more sitting around with bad letters, there is now a 7 tile tray of community tiles that you can buy for the low price of $100. Which makes it a lot quicker to come up with quality words. On the Monopoly side this game will end, in fact it only takes about an hour or so to play. There is no more buying properties and managing rentals, instead you win the property based on where you place your Scrabble word. You don't have to wait for all the other players to go bankrupt, the game simply ends when the Scrabble tiles are out.Besides it being faster, I found it to be more exciting than either of it predicessors. This is mostly because of the huge swings that can occur each turn. You could literally win 3 of your opponents properties with the right word placement and community cars. It is often hard to tell who is going to win because things change so much each time. At times this is frustrating, but it's all part of the fun. Probably the best part about this is that it levels the field a bit, so the same person doesn't win every time.Aside from the game play it was a quality game. It has a good gaming board with quality metal Monopoly pieces, wooden tiles, and nice cards.If I had to be picky I would say that it's a little short on the money. I resolved this at my house by playing with real money. 🤣 JK, we use a tally mark system for players passing go instead of giving out the 2G.At the end of the day this is a fun new twist on some old classics. I would recommend it to any gamer.

Great for a fun game night that you can wrap up by 10 PM
Our game-night friends all have long-time Monopoly and Scrabble experience, and agree with my wife and I that this is a most enjoyable game night mash-up (especially since we can wrap up a game in under 2 hours).It’s significantly less less fussy to deal with than regular Monopoly, and not as grinding as a full game of Scabble, while retaining enough strategic elements of the former and mental challenges of the latter to sustain the interest level for the entire game.Be prepared for a different level of both exhilaration and agony from the Chance and Community Chest cards, which are both crafted to accelerate the normal pace of Monopoly game play (as are other aspects of the game design).
