Monopoly Deal Card Game

Monopoly Deal caught me off guard – in a good way. I usually roll my eyes at anything “Monopoly”, but this little card game has become a staple filler for my family. In about 15 minutes, we’re trading properties, slapping each other with “Deal Breaker” cards, and laughing (or groaning) at the swings of fortune. The gameplay is basically set collection (race to collect 3 full property sets) with a big dose of “take that”. It’s simple enough that I taught my non-gamer friends in minutes, and they immediately demanded multiple rematches. I love that it retains a dash of classic Monopoly negotiation (there’s some room to make deals or hold off playing cards) but strips away the boring bits. Luck is definitely huge – you might draw that perfect card at the perfect time – and the cards can be vicious. I’ve seen it get a tad too cutthroat for some, leading to playful family feuds when someone steals that last property you needed. So, it’s not deep strategy by any stretch, but as a quick, casual showdown, Monopoly Deal delivers. Lots of folks agree this card game outshines its big board game cousin. I’d rate it 7/10.

✓ Pros

  • Quick, easy-to-learn, and fast-paced
  • Fun take-that cards and wild swings
  • Great casual filler for family or friends

✗ Cons

  • Highly luck-dependent draws
  • Very swingy outcomes can feel unfair
  • Take-that elements may frustrate some players
