New Super Mario Galaxy-Inspired Monopoly Game Hits Shelves Today
Monopoly is a classic for a reason. Sure, it might cause you to flip tables or end friendships, but it’s also just plain fun. It is also among the most collectible board games out there, with special editions themed after all manner of pop-culture properties. We’ve had X-Men Monopoly, World of Warcraft Monopoly, and even The Legend of Zelda Monopoly. In fact, there have even been several Super Mario Bros. versions of Monopoly, including a release to celebrate the first Super Mario Bros. movie. Now, collectors have another game to add to their shelves with the release of this new Super Mario Galaxy edition of the beloved board game.
This new version of Monopoly will feature locations from the new The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, letting players explore the galaxy and lay claim to familiar locations. In true Mario fashion, you’ll be collecting coins rather than standard currency, while also adding Lumas to your hoard. But of course, the movie’s antagonist, Bowser Jr., will lie in wait to cause chaos.
The board features several “Bowser Jr.’s Rage” spots that lie in wait to ruin your day by forcing you to draw a Rage Card. But if you spend your resources wisely, you could lay claim to locations like Bowser’s Prison or Mario & Luigi’s home. And of course, it wouldn’t be Monopoly unless you also forced your friends to cough up some coins when they land on the spaces you own.
