night sky monopololy by J. C. Chrysos  4 Stars
March 04, 2009
I really like this new version of Monopoly. It gives me something new to look at while I am playing the game. My son, who is 6, really loves to play, and it is so good for him to add numbers in his head from the dice, and learn to count money and give change, that I want to support him in playing it, but I was so sick of the old game. This makes it fresher for me, and we are learning about the universe at the same time. The pictures are beautiful.

Best Toy Ever! by B. C. Harris (Memphis TN) 5 Stars
May 07, 2007
As an amateur astronomer, I immensely enjoy playing this game on gloomy rainy/cloudy evenings when I can't see the night sky above. Even kids enjoy this game when they're over, because they love the astronomy theme as much as I do. They've learned a lot of astronomy facts and nomenclature while having fun. The new properties and tokens are cool too!
