We’ve really enjoyed the Junior Monopoly and Trumps Cars & Bikes from Shuffle and I’m offering one lucky reader the chance to win both games. I’ve included my Amazon affiliate links below for your reference.ĭisclaimer: we were sent the items mentioned in exchange for an honest review Priced at £6.99 I think these games are great value for money, especially with the added app play potential. I think Father Christmas might be adding to our sets too – you can see all of the available games on the Shuffle website. We’ll certainly be playing with our Shuffle card games at home and away in the coming months. I like the fact that you can play all of these games with or without the apps and have lots of fun. I had to explain what each ‘spin’ meant, but the added element to game play really caught Monkey’s imagination. Spin the Trumps Twister before each turn for an added ‘spin’ to game play. We had added fun with these games by downloading the free app to include the Trump Twister element, this was a huge hit. But again, once he’d sussed it, he was off and loved it every time he trounced his mother! Monkey had to really think with this game and it took him a little longer to get to grips with it. We take in turn to pick a category and whoever is fastest, newest, largest revs/min etc wins both cards and play continues. We’re already used to Trumps, so with a little help with the headings, this is the version that Monkey has played. There are two versions of the game – Classic Families for beginners, or the standard Trumps. Monkey is learning to read at the moment and needs a little help with category headings to play these games. These games are intended for children aged 6 years and over, for 2 players and again, the average game plays lasts around 15 minutes. The Shuffle Trumps Cars & Bikes set is a bargain as you get two games for the price of one. You can also download a free app which includes a game play tutorial and extends play. I can see us playing this game a lot, especially over Christmas. The game encourages observation skills, counting and colour matching, and is easy for younger children to understand game play. It’s fair to say that a nearly 6 year old Monkey grasped the idea of Monopoly Junior quickly and he loved it. If you don’t have any money and need to pay rent, you have to sell one of your existing properties. If you pick up a pocket money card you keep that for your bank, to be able to pay rent as needed. He placed his token on top of it and waited to see if I would pick a card of the same colour – then he could charge me rent! We started with Monkey taking the top card from one of the piles, he got a property card straight away. You start the game by picking a token card and then shuffle the property and pocket money cards together and place in 4 equal piles, face down in the middle of the table. The aim of the game is to be the first player to collect three full property sets (a property set is 2 cards of the same colour) in different colours. The game consists of 4 token cards, pocket money cards in various denominations, property cards and an instruction leaflet. It was time to open the box and find out! Shuffle Monopoly Junior is aimed at children aged 4 years and over, can be played with 2-4 players and has a typical play time of 15 minutes – great for younger children with limited attention spans. I was rather intrigued to find out how you could play the game with only cards. It was time to introduce Monkey to my all time favourite board game with the Shuffle Monopoly Junior. But they are just as much fun to play at home. Shuffle card games come in durable plastic cases, making them absolutely ideal to pop into a handbag or suitcase, when travelling with children. We opted for Junior Monopoly and Trumps Cars & Bikes from Shuffle and waited for them to arrive. I’m always on the look out for games that we can take away with us, and the Shuffle series are perfect for this. They have a whole range of games available for children aged 4 years and over. I was recently contacted by the team at Shuffle and asked if Monkey would like to try a couple of their card games.
