The world-famous friendship-destroying family board game is adding the Mario twist to its latest edition, Monopoly Gamer. As the name implies, it has been "gamified" to include features like power-ups for each character token. For example, landing on the Super Star board space will activate Princess Peach’s Super Star ability to collect rent from the bank. Players can also activate a special Power-up boost by rolling the Power-up die.

The MONOPOLY GAMER Edition game will feel familiar yet fresh to both MONOPOLY and Nintendo fans, as players race around the board to complete levels (buy property), collect coins (money)—either from the bank or by using special powers to take them from other players—and battle legendary bosses to rack up points and win the game. Players will find familiar tokens from the Super Mario universe including Mario, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach and Yoshi.

The standard MONOPOLY GAMER Edition game will be available this August at $24.99, and is for ages 8 and up. Also available will be MONOPOLY GAMER POWER PACKS (each sold separately at $2.99 each), which will include one of several Super Mario character tokens like Luigi, Boo, Rosalina, Wario, Diddy Kong and more.

Will Mario or Donkey Kong be the reason for your next friendship feud bonding?

Not true. They are clearly marked and even have a window to see what's inside. Again. People completely failing to do any sort of research whatsoever. They see "Mario/Nintendo Monopoly" and just star making assumptions about everything under the sun.

Edit: Not clearly marked, but there is a window so you can see what you're buying.

Some people need to do some minor reading and research before commenting.

I read it. I understand it is a variant on Monopoly with added features.

Your comment was more that TONS of people still play and love Monopoly, especially a version like this. So in answer to your question... plenty. Even just the straight up bare bones old school version. Imo board games are 1,000x more fun than multi-player video games.

I could have swore I've seen a Nintendo monopoly game in EB for a least a decade now.

Same here, except at gamestop

Ah. Alright then. Guess the company must have changed over the years. Back in 2006-2010 it was nothing but flavor text differences (the most extreme example would be Spongebob Monopoly. Which was a thing by the way).

All the information about the changes in gameplay style were in the OP

I plan on getting the Gamer edition at GameStop and converting it to Tabletop Simulator. Not sure how long it'll take, but it'll be fun!

 

[D34DL1N3R]

YES TRUE

I don't know which is worse. The fact that someone is trying to prove me wrong when I actually purchased the items, or that someone clicked the like button on a post trying to prove someone wrong, when the other person was wrong to begin with. I don't care what the verbiage says. Go look in the store and see for yourself before posting and telling someone they are wrong. Because you are 100% factually wrong.

Just because ordering online from ebgames (or anywhere else) doesn't let you pick. You can pick in store because there is a see through window that shows the character you are buying very clearly.

NO HOTELS?

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here (ironically a considerably more fun game than Monopoly) and say that this was the topic creator's fault for not showing a picture of that product, or linking to a picture or a source that has a video that confirms that fact (Hasbro's site shows the thing with the window open, but it's not exactly clear that you can see it before buying). The point of news isn't to give you a hint so that you can go do your own reporting. (well, maybe these days it is)
