Forget how much money there might be, think of it as a way to get your kids to wash their hands.

Not that I am aware of. If it's an actual game, I believe you have to buy two or just have them share (easier said than done!).

The rules are the same. There is an extra dice, but it makes the game a bit more interesting. There is an extra real estate for all the colors and you dont need to own them all in order to start placing houses and hotels.

Not possessing remote viewing or being psychic, given the many options in stocks and shell holders available, it is impossible to say. Look at the picture and decide!

If your students know their facts well, yes. They have to know various ways to make a particular "sum" with the dice they have rolled. You could certainly modify the game using 2 or 3 dice and just have them add or subtract the numbers they roll. It's more of a competitive game kind of like Boggle, except you have to be the first to use your dice to reach the sum on the white die ( die? dye?) does that make since?

There isn't realy a winner because in the initial stages, as the child learns the moves, whoever goes first would win. The adult makes the game increasinly harder as the child learns the obstacles. Cards should be face up so child can choose moves, turn left, right or forward.The cards need to be laid out in sequence of the moves so the program could be followed by anybody else getting from start to finish. It's not a game of luck, it's logical thinking. As the child progresses, the jewels can be placed anywhere on the board. Better for 2 to play at that stage, as more obstacles can be placed in the way. There isn't realy a winner because in the initial stages, as the child learns the moves, whoever goes first would win.

Lowest payout is jacks or better, but no game called jacks or better! Lots of video poker games included. Hope this helps...........

Unfortunately, no. But I would recommend using monopoly money, which is what I do. Lol.

I was worried that mine would come with Canadian money, but no--it came with US money. I think Learning Resources must be savvy enough to send the Canadian money version to Canadians and the US money version to the folks in the States. (My 2nd graders love this game!)

No there is no poker included. Also, I had multiple of these shipped that arrived damaged so just be aware before you order.

I do that in my head but dont see why you could not use paper if needed because if you can win with the bonus then that is the way to go.

You can play with 3 people, but it is much better with 4. If you have 5 players, we have one sit out and bet on who will win by looking at each of the players tiles. Then the winner sits out the next game with the one who bet playing.

Sort of, you still have a big probability of getting duplicates even on one pack, its all random

there is a chance for a mount scratch card, its a low chance but a chance non the less.

No just random packs that can potentially have doubles. Just like packs you buy at the store.

Depends on whether that penny is heads up or not. Everything in life is a gamble, Fred.

The logical assumption is higher count should be less expensive, but as you have pointed out; not always the case. Do the math and always go with the less expensive option.
