Reading through all the previous reviews, there are many positives that I agree with and many negatives I agree with, and some of them contradict each other!
We got this game for Christmas. My husband and our 2 boys (10 and 7) have played it 3 times now and have enjoyed the experience overall
Some of the positives I would say Revolution has over the original version:
NO PAPER MONEY
- you have to put your card in the machine everytime you want to know ur balance (unless of course u can keep track in your head!)
- children no longer learn to count and give correct change
- every player can do their own transactions so you don't NEED to nominate a banker
PROPERTY SPACES
You are forced to buy or auction the property - if the player chooses not to buy at least the other players get a chance to buy it instead
RANDOM CHANCES
The machine will randomly give out chances through the game to the last player to use the machine (not always tho) - adds a bit of fun to the proceedings!

USES PAPER MONEY

- children learn to count and give correct change
