where to buy "the game of life" Monopoly etc

Postby hokkaido1 on Wed Mar 11, 2009 10:50 am

I am thinking of buying some English games

eg The Game of Life, Monopoly etc (English versions for lessons etc)

but on Amazon Japan they all seem to be only in Japanese?

does anyone have idea ideas on where to buy them (pref on the net) in Japan?

Thanks

Ever hear of Toy's R Us? They are a major toy store chain from the US that has numerous franchises throughout Japan.

Here is a link to the stores in the Tohoku and Hokkaido regions, they should be able to help you out.

Thanks for that, but do you really think they would be in English?

I somehow doubt it? but I hope I am wrong

I would say 50/50. I can only speak of Monopoly but I've seen both: katakana version and just plain English.

I purchased a Scrabble game for the family when they first came here, oh and the other thing is that they very well may be able to assist you with ordering what you want through their US affiliates.

Good Luck! Hey did you happen to check out the Flying Pig or some of the other non-teaching resources here on this forum? Sometimes Flying Pig and the other one, forgot the name, have games and stuff that might be of interest to you.........just a thought

Paul, the other わすれた name you're trying to think of can be found in the NON-TEACHING RESOURCE LINKS thread

Saw this at a store called Don Quixote, ドンキホテ...English w/ katakana superscripts. Could always take a marker to the katakana.

It's expensive but you may be able to get it from amazon and have it shipped over seas. I would check but amazon is blocked here.
