Monopoly is an absolutely timeless family game. It's a game about strategy, chance, luck and ultimately about greed.
Monopoly, with its thrilling property-owning rules and objectives, is highly educational. For early Monopolybeginners of seven years, it encourages arithmetic skills. At the same time, it teaches older players about money management, property management, basic economics, the art of negotiation and compromise (just how much are you prepared to trade for Mayfair). In many ways Monopoly also mirrors the lessons of life--chance and luck can throw even the best-laid plans astray, and if you're not prepared to take the big risks you're unlikely to be life's big winner. The only significant downside to Monopoly is that the full game can be a very lengthy event easily lasting hours. A monopoly can be enjoyed by children as young as seven years old and will still thrill a 97-year-old; it is suitable for 2-8 players.
