Reviews:
"As both a co-operator and a long-time player and collector of board games, Co-opoly is a dream come true. Educational games have a tendency to be long on learning and short on playability, but Co-opoly is a wonderful exception, combining the real-life challenges and opportunities co-ops face with solid game play. The Work cards, which require you to draw, act out a charade or describe a specific word or phrase, give Co-opoly a party game feel, while the roll-and-move mechanics make the game easy for players at all skill levels to learn. Like co-ops themselves, Co-opoly combines principle and practice: an appropriate initiative for the International Year of Co-operatives and beyond." -- Donna Balkan, Communications Manager, Canadian Co-operative Association
"Move over Monopoly... [Co-opoly] is based on real life issues and principles and has a lot of educational value not found in most games. The education portion is subtly in play thru the entire game, as players learn how to best make a co-op setting work for them and their community. Check this one out! GREAT FUN is awaiting you!" -- Family Review Center
