This parent is of the opinion that "dumbing down" is not what children need. Rather, children need to be "stretched" beyond what they 'think' that they can do, play, or accomplish. With this in mind, get the regular Monopoly set for your kids. Teach them how to play -- and play with them. They will actually learn a game of strategy -- rather than a completely luck-determined "junior" version.Your kids will appreciate the quality time -- and, over time, will appreciate the fact that they learned -- at an early age -- how to play one of the greatest board games of all time.
