IGN reviewer Aaron Boulding thought the ability to customise the game according to house rules was an "endearing" feature, and appreciated that it kept the spirit of the board game it was based on.[1] Nintendo Power Magazine praised certain aspects of the game, but thought there wasn't enough visual contrast between the different squares on the board.[3] Nintendojo thought the adaptation was "too true" to its source material and was disappointed it didn't contain gameplay such as mini games and skill events.[4] HonestGamers felt that the interface was "overly complicated" and "clumsy".[5] French review site X64 gave the game a rating of 50/100.[6]
