Skylanders Monopoly from @Hasbro and @Activision!

 

The Skylanders™ Monopoly^® board game combines the classic risk-taking and deal-making of  Monopoly gameplay with the fun and excitement of the Skylanders™ world as players vie for control of the most coveted real estate in Skylands. Produced by USAopoly, under license from Hasbro, and in conjunction with Activision, this cherished board game with a Skylanders twist allows fans to buy, sell and trade 22 newly discovered Skylands locations and rule supreme.

Players buy, sell and trade the likes of Stealth Elf’s Ninja Dojo, Trigger Happy’s Bank Vault, and Spyro’s Chompy Diner while steering clear of Auric’s Traveling Store Taxes and Persephone’s Gem Shop Tax as they battle for Thumpback’s Thundering Tide Pool and Zap’s Lightning Race Track (prime properties traditionally occupied by Boardwalk and Park Place).

Key Features:   

• Custom Skylanders-Licensed Design: The Monopoly^®: Skylanders™ box top and game board showcase custom art featuring the most popular Skylanders™ characters, so fans can jump right into the world of Skylands.
• Familiar Monopoly Gameplay: Players will buy, sell and trade popular locations based on characters in the world of Skylanders™.
• Re-imagined Locations and Game Pieces: The game board includes 22 “newly discovered” Skylands locations such as Stealth Elf’s Ninja Dojo, Chop Chop’s Boneyard, and Trigger Happy’s Bank Vault, while other classic features such as metal game tokens, the Community Chest and Chance cards have all been reimagined for the fast-paced, high stakes world of Monopoly.
• Unique Collectible Metal Game Tokens: The familiar game tokens that players use to navigate through the game board have been completely redesigned for Skylanders™ fans. Players may choose to use one of six collectible metal tokens — KAOS, Sheep, Cannon, Pirate Ship, Swords or Chompie — as they traverse the world of Monopoly^®: Skylanders™.

When my son walked in from camp and saw this game he was thrilled! My mom raised us on this game when we were stuck in the house on rainy days (and yes, the memories are even brighter because candy was involved!). She has also taught my son to play Monopoly, I remember the last game at poolside at my brother’s house, Grandma, Aunt Wendye, Cousin Allie, and my son all sat around and played a spectacular game!

Combine this with one of my son’s favorite video game franchises and you have a sure winner. I love how all the characters are part f the game play, and of course since my son has everything from Skylanders memorized, he especially loves this. We can’t wait to have some of his friends over to play, they already think this son of a blogger has all the coolest stuff, this will surely add to that mystique!
