Fun and easy to learn
We were excited to try this game out as we are an avid board gaming family. We have all sorts of games from card games to strategy games to bluffing games and loved this game. The game is easy to learn and appropriate for even younger kids (our youngest is 11). We played this a few times and with each time we were able to use different strategies so we had different winners each time we played. This is a great game to play that isn’t too time consuming, so if you have 30-60 minutes, you can get through a game! This was great as we could quickly pick up and play a quick game! If you want to try a new game, check this one out. You won’t regret it!
Competitive fun!
Our family received this game from Butterly. We weren’t sure what it was all going to be about, and the instructions weren’t the most clear, but we caught on quickly. What a fun game! Our family gets a little competitive at time, so we all loved the bidding part of it. We found it to be similar to monopoly, but it doesn’t take as long to play. It’s a game all of us enjoyed playing, and I can see it is going to be well used on family game nights in the future. #FamilyRatedClub
If Monopoly & Bingo Had a Child...
If you love Monopoly and you love Bingo, then you'll definitely enjoy this game. It's a great game to enjoy with the entire family. Basically, your goal is to bid up and purchase properties on the game board, which is essentially laid out like a Bingo card. Depending on the number of players in the game, in order to win, you have to be the first one to own a certain number of properties on at least one row vertically and one row horizontally. Of course there are twists in the game, for example, with draw cards that force the bank to dispense cash to players, and so on. If you have young kids and would like to get them into board games, this is a great introductory game that alleviates some of the monotony and redundancy that can often times plague legacy games like Monopoly and Bingo, and it won't break the bank (literally!).
New game
Played this new game the other day. Reminds me somewhat of a monopoly type game buying states instead of properties but not building on them. Easy to understand instructions. A good game for all ages.
Game is good but not impressed with instructions o
I found the instructions to be missing a few things so I went on the website to see if I could find the missing information but it doesn't have anything. There was an instructional video but when I went to watch it, it was for a different game.
Game was good but I think it would be for children under 12. My daughter and her friends are all 16 and I think they were getting bored after about 30 minutes of playing the game.
The game itself is great; good quality pieces. I thought the actually board was a bit small but I guess it doesn't really need to be any larger for the small game pieces that you put on the board.
Great family game
Loved receiving this game to try out with my family! At first we weren't sure what to expect , but caught on quickly. I would likely describe it as a mix between connect 4 and monopoly. There's nothing wrong with healthy competition and that's exactly what the bidding war brings about. Playing with more than 2 people makes the game more challenging but is quite easily played with 2. I love the box with the proper storage slots for the pieces and the mallet makes it even more fun to play!
Fun game
When it was sent to me I was kinda confused on how it all works. But after reading it and learning to play it it was a really fun game. My family liked it
Lots of family fun!
This game is great fun for older kids and adults. There is lots of strategy involved and the action can get competitive. It teaches money management and math skills to the younger players....and/or older players. My only complaint would be that there are a few directions that need to be clarified and the gavel can be really annoying in the hands of an exhuberant person! Looking forward to teaching our friends this game in the near future for some rousing game nights.
Fun game, probably better with a group playing
This is a great concept and fun game -- the wacky real-life roadside attractions are hilarious to see and read about. The game play itself is quick & easy to learn , and the tiny gavel made us laugh every time we used it! I was only able to test this out with a 2-player game and since there's only 2 of you to bid on an attraction, it's not as exciting or hard to figure out who's going to win the bid, and the game board is really pretty wide open with only 2 players -- but we still had fun playing. I look forward to being able to play this with a larger group where we can really get some good bidding wars going on and we'll have a harder time getting 4 markers in a row on the game board.
Who Wants To Be A Zillionaire?
My game night playing family was very excited to test drive Cardinal Games Zillionaires Road Trip USA from the Spin Master Game Collection. It’s by Big Potato Games. We got this new board game for free from the Family Rated Club through the Butterly and Chick Advisor program, in exchange for my honest review.
Zillionaires Road Trip USA is a fun, quick to learn, family game for ages 8+, and for 2-5 players. The object of the game is to “Bid, Bluff and Buy Up America’s Legendary Roadside Attractions”. It features 49 real life roadside attractions, such as “The World’s Largest Toilet” and “The International Banana Museum”. The weird landmarks are described on “The Legendary 49” fact sheet included in the game. The first player to purchase four properties in a row on the game board (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins! Just don’t get caught in a bidding war - which will happen! This game is kind of like Monopoly, but more silly.
Zillionaires Road Trip USA is quick to setup, and also easy to understand. It wasn’t long before my husband, myself, and our 9-year-old son settled into the game. Our dog was happy to lay at our feet under the dinning room table, while we excitedly bid on quirky properties, threw zillions of dollars around, and banged the wooden gavel when a property was sold. My son won the first round we played. An important tip in the game is to hide your money from the other players, so that they don’t know how much money you have to bid with. When my son was about to bid on his winning forth property in a row, he slowly lifted his zillions from under the table and said “Here’s the money...!”
My only beef with Zillionaires Road Trip USA is that it is described as the “North American” Edition, but it only features US American landmarks. We would love to play a Canadian version of Zillionaires Road Trip. I recommend this game to anyone over 8 years old, who enjoy playing a quality family board game.
Thank you very much for selecting our family for this opportunity to try this fun Spin Master game! #FamilyRatedClub #gotitfree #SpinMaster #ChickAdvisor #Butterly #FamilyRated #SpinMasterGames
