If you love dogs or happen to own one, and you like "Monopoly", then I highly recommend this game!It is played just like the original "Monopoly", but with a very obvious twist...instead of the focus of the game being moving your car (or in this game, dog-related item.) around the board (which has been altered to a cute doggy version) and rushing to purchase property, the fun is doubled as you get to purchase dogs instead!Let me tell you, the bids were high when my grandma was considering auctioning off the Boston Terrier (the breed of my closest furry friend)!And what was even more exciting was the fact that a big picture of a Boston Terrier sits right in the center of the board!Anyway, I can't speak for everyone when I say that you'll find your dog in the game, but the game is still loads of fun, and very kid-friendly.Besides teaching managing money with dogs, it also teaches about the different breeds featured in the game. (Read the backs of the cards with the dogs on them.)Overall, I highly recommend this game!I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to play it again! (This time I WILL get the Boston Terrier!)When I ordered Dogopoly, I thought that all Dogopoly games were the same with metal game pieces (a fire hydrant, a flea, a T-Bone steak, etc.) as pictured just like regular Monopoly game pieces.
I was not aware (until now) that there is a "cheaper" version that has colored wooden dog bowls and dog bones for game pieces.I purchased this as a gift for a retiring executive who is a serious dog lover.It seemed like the perfect gift for that purpose.
Unfortunately, I received the "cheaper" version.I say "cheaper" because this game cost the same as the nicer version.I don't understand why there are two versions with the exact same outside cover.I am very embarrassed and disappointed with this item.Although this is not a reflection on the vendor, I feel tricked into buying the game that I really wanted and ended up with something else something I wish I hadn't purchased.
When to box arrived, I took the game out and wrapped it (in dog wrapping paper, of course).The entire office gathered around to witness the event.I was expecting to point out the cute metal game pieces, and to my horror, saw colored wooden dog bowls and dog bones instead.I am so embarrased.
My son and I are enjoying this game greatly!! Regular Monopoly is one of my favorite games, but did not keep my son interested long enough to play a full game. This one keeps his interest and we have both enjoyed playing. We have also learned several dog facts that we didn't know before! This is definately a purchase that I am glad that I made!!!

My 5 year old is addicted to this game, we played it every day for the first couple of months we had it, sometimes more.It was so educational for him to learn larger numbers, and how to put the money together a certain way to make up how much he owed, and is now starting to be able to make change.It's amazing, he's five and can add and subtract large numbers using money!!I recommend it for everyone!!! I love it too, it is so much fun!!First I have to say Thank You to Amazon for having this game. This was on my daughter's Christmas list and Amazon was the only place I could find it. Second, my daughter loves this game and so do her friends. They have played the game more than any other she received.
