Gamestop Now Sells Exclusive Legend of Zelda Monopoly Board Game

[Nightwish]

If anyone is still playing monopoly instead of thousands of better Boardgames, I'd advise them to use the actual rules so that you can at least play a mediocre game.

That Pokemon kinda looks cool i guess......Is the money also themed cash or not???

I would wager it is.

The board releases on the 30th though... so either you have a time machine or it was released earlier in the Netherlands.

Would have been so much cooler if they had made it with actual Rupee gem tokens rather than paper for currency.

I agree, that would be pretty cool. Hell, I don't think including small fake gems would be terribly expensive either.

Huh... maybe they're releasing a new one then.

Does yours say "Pokemon: Kanto Edition" on it?

I guess you could say Gamestop wants to monopolize the board game industry too huh?

Scalpers are coming, be careful!

Ah, that's a different edition then. Figures. Maybe my photo shows the wrong board, I'm not actually sure.

 

[Öhr]

just repurposed art that doesnt go well together. corners are left as is. go to jail could have been a hyrule soldier and jail displayed tingle in jail. free parking is probably the worst untouched field...

overall, this one is a letdown and i wont buy it. very cheaply thrown together. very unimaginative!

Go to Jail guy isnt Hyrule Soldier
Free Parking car isn't horse
Jail isn't Hyrule Castle's dungeon.
200 salary isn't 200 rupees

This is going to sound kinda weird, but I've actually always wanted to own a Zelda-themed Monopoly game. In fact when I was in 4th or 5th grade (roughly 10-11 years old) I remember teaming up with a friend at my daycare center to create our own "Majora's Monopoly" game board with some cardboard, large sheets of paper, some posterboard and markers, and glue/tape. The "rupee" amounts for each property were simply half of the regular Monopoly dollar amounts, rounded up, but it worked. We made Zelda-themed versions of every Chance and Community Chest card, and each of the 4 sides of the board coincided with the 4 compass directions in Majora's Mask. So for instance Illinois Avenue was the defeat of the Pirate's Fortress (the yellow properties were reserved for the Great Bay Temple proper) and the green properties were areas from the Stone Tower Temple while the blue properties were THE MOON, etc. 11-year-old me thought it was pretty friggin awesome anyway. In fact, I think I still have that cardboard mockup in a corner of the closet at my parents' house, if anyone would care to see it.

Anyway the point is, when I saw the title of this thread I got rather excited, but after seeing pictures of the board itself, I'm less than enthused. Shame, really. They could have made it a lot more appealing with just a tiny bit more effort.

EDIT: If anyone cares, the "Monopoly: Global Edition" game on pogo.com is a very enjoyable way to play the game online. It's limited to 35 turns no matter what, and it plays by the official rules (no "Free Parking" jackpot, unwanted properties must be auctioned, etc). It helped me learn how the game is *supposed* to be played, and it's a lot more fun as a result! I'd recommend installing Adblock though, to avoid annoying video ads every 5 turns.

The Itadaki Street series is also super fun. It's a lot like Monopoly, but with added mini-mini games, chance spaces, and the ability to invest into streets/properties. It's really damn fun And the recent games are based around various Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Mario places, characters, and things, which is also really cool.

The series was finally localized as Fortune Street on the Wii, and there's also an ios version of the original (no videogame cameos). There's also translation patches available for the PS2 and PSP ones

They should change "Door Fee" to "Gamestop".
"Returning game at Gamestop. Lost 200 Rupees."
