Monopoly Junior and Kids Editions

The 34 Junior and kid-friendly editions, most rated five and up, with shorter rules and far less money handling.

34 editions in this list.

Top picks

Monopoly Junior exists because a five-year-old can't handle mortgages, auctions and a two-hour game. It uses small single-value bills, skips property development, and finishes in a sitting. There are 34 editions in this category.

Age rating is the first thing to check, and it's printed on every box.

How to choose

Standard Monopoly is listed at eight and up. Junior sets are usually five and up, which covers the plain Monopoly Junior Board Game for 4 Players (2017), the Bluey edition (2022) and the Super Mario edition (2022). The Hasbro Junior board from 2023 goes further, listing ages four and up for two to six players, with two games on one double-sided board.

After that, buy the character. Kids sit through a game about something they already watch and drift away from one they don't. Bluey and Super Mario lead the sales signals here, with Peppa Pig (2020), Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends (2023), PAW Patrol (2024), Unicorn (2020), Dinosaur (2021) and Trucks (2023) filling out the range.

Think about what happens in a year. The single-game Junior sets get outgrown fast, which is the argument for the two-sided board: the second side gives a kid somewhere to go before they're ready for the full game. From there, Monopoly Knockout runs about twenty minutes for up to eight players, and the Deal card game finishes in fifteen.

One warning about this category. Monopoly Board Crawl is filed here because of how it's listed, and it's an adult drinking game, not a children's edition. Read the box before you buy anything on a title alone.

Newer options keep arriving. The Monopoly Junior Board Game marked as the 2026 Edition carries a 2025 date in the listing data, and Spin Master's Monopoly Giant Edition also landed in 2025 for kids who'd rather play on the floor than at a table.

What's in this list

The 34 editions here are sorted by sales signals, so the plain Junior sets and the big kids' franchises come first. Roughly a third carry a Brands tag because Hasbro's own Junior line is grouped that way, and the rest map to Entertainment or Video Games IP franchises. Junior versions of video game properties live here rather than under Video Games, so the Super Mario Junior edition shows up on this page and on its franchise page, not in the video game category. Ages and player counts come straight from the listing data, and where a box gives no age, none is shown.

Common questions

What age is Monopoly Junior for?

Most Junior sets are listed for ages five and up, against eight and up for standard Monopoly. The two-sided Junior board from 2023 goes down to four, and it plays two to six.

How is Monopoly Junior different from regular Monopoly?

It cuts the money down to small single-value bills, drops mortgages and auctions, and removes house and hotel building. Rounds are short, and nobody needs to make change under pressure.

Which Junior edition makes the best first board game?

Pick the characters your kid already watches. Bluey and Super Mario are the two strongest sellers here, and the Junior sets for Peppa Pig, PAW Patrol and Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends cover most of the rest.

When should kids move up to standard Monopoly?

Around age eight, going by how the boxes are rated. The 2023 two-sided Junior board bridges the gap with a harder second game, and Monopoly Knockout at about twenty minutes is a reasonable next step.
