MONOPOLY Deal, a brand new card game, is about to hit toy shelves everywhere and is set to get the nation addicted to dealing and negotiating at a record speed!

The new game, launched by toy manufacturer Hasbro, is perfect for friends and families who aren't afraid of a bit of healthy competition as dealing, negotiating and taking your opponents to the cleaners is the aim of the game.

At home, or whilst travelling, MONOPOLY Deal is the game that can be played virtually anywhere and takes a maximum of 20 minutes!

Everything we know and love about MONOPOLY is ever present in this dynamic game of acquisition, dealing and trading.  Be the first to complete 3 property sets by collecting, swapping and dealing. BUT be careful, one wrong card and you could lose everything!

Another variation of the traditional MONOPOLY brand is My First MONOPOLY.

A new board game encouraging younger Monopolists than ever before! Designed for 4yrs and above, My First MONOPOLY helps the little ones to count and learn to share and take turns.

Instead of the traditional dice, Mini Monopolists travel around Monopoly Town following the directions set by the battery powered Mr Monopoly, building and buying houses as they go.

Hot Brands Verdict
We have played both these games and our junior reviewers loved My First MONOPOLY, it is an innovative way of introducing this traditional game to younger players. MONOPOLY Deal is great fun, we love the variations on the traditional game.  Charlotte a very bright and savvy six year old absolutely loves playing it, and her favourite card is Just Say No! which cancels the effect of any Action Card. A card which many of us would like to play in the office most days!  As a way of celebrating Parents and Children’s month both these games are great family entertainment and so we are delighted to award them our Hot Product Award for June.
