True to the Board Game
Date of Review: May 7, 2000
My daughters and I love this game! It reminds me so much of the summer when I was 12 and had received the board game as a gift. My friends and I played it nonstop.
This computer game is so true to the original board game. Of course, it has more bells and whistles - animated game board, host narration, etc. This just adds to the fun.
There are two versions to choose from: classic and enhanced. The enhanced version allows for various "side games" with opportunity to earn more money.
The only drawback to the computer version versus the original gameboard is the difficulty for more than two persons to play since its a bit hard to crowd around one computer and share a mouse. But there are advantages as well - no miscounting of spaces and the best one of all -- remember the aggravation of the gameboard spinner which oftentimes didn't spin smoothly? And everyone would argue whether or not the player should respin? Well, the computer spinner is smooth as can be!
Enjoy some family time with this game -well worth the money spent!
