    Quite unusual.  It requires at a minimum good math skills, on top of being able to negotiate and win.

    No, but we play a lot of games in my family. If the kids ask for help with the reading or math we jump in and help.

    I would say it's a sign that the 5-year old is high in intelligence!

    the box says 8 and up. Better go to your local monoply club and tell them you have a prodigy.

    Yeah, I'd say it's pretty unusual. Monopoly involves a lot of strategy and math that would be beyond most 5 year olds. There is a "Monopoly Junior" version for ages 5 and up. But classic Monopoly is for ages 8 and up.
