Random: Hasbro Launching Officially Licensed Fortnite Nerf Blasters In 2019

I think the monopoly game would be fun.

This is where our civilisation ends.

Just kidding. I see the need to profit off of this juggernaut, and Nerf Blasters make an awful lot of sense. Monopoly, on the other hand...

I love Nerf blasters. And come 2019, I will Fortnitedly blast them!

I really don't get the Fortnite hype. I've tried it several times. The game is extremely boring. At least the "Save the world"-mode has an actual story.

This Is What I Wanted For Christmas

@sanderev if you're playing solos constantly and not understanding the game mechanics or how to get better, I can understand why you'd find that boring.

However, if you're playing Duos or Squads with a group of friends that know what they're doing and having quality banter whilst you play, it is a loooooooot more enjoyable. Especially when you start getting those W's!

Play the game in the real world?! You mean I can run around for 20 minutes smashing people's houses and random trees and then get murdered by someone when I turn a corner? Then I can wait 8 minutes and start over?

Sounds even less fun then playing Fortnite! Impressive!

Monopoly is always fun though, no matter what skin they put on it.

Honestly not a bad idea. Make some money, and give a fun product (It’s Nerf or nothin’!).

I’ll definely buy the Monopoly set.

The Monopoly Gamer Mario editions are fantastic renditions of the classic game because you’re only looking at 2 hours max playtime compared to the 2 weeks of the original board game.

If the Fortnite version has each player with a finite number of ‘lives’ then it should play in the same way.

these nerf blasters could really be fun for kids to play more outside

@TheFanatic Don't knock it til you try it! I played the Legend of Zelda edition against my sisters, and lost horribly, due to that Boardwalk MOnopoly!

@YoshiAngemon I’m a middling fan of Monopoly. Can only cope playing the video game version (when it works). However, I don’t see myself saving up VBucks for Tilted Towers.

...K.
I'm honestly fine with this, though.

Becasue why not....

And with this, we've officially reached the point where Fornite is no longer cool and all the hip kids will move on to something else.

i would buy them but my wife wont let me shoot kids or the bloody cat with my star wars ones.

But WHY?

I like it, I'll be checking them out:)

Makes sense. Kids seem to adore Fortnite and it's perfect for marketing kids toys as a result.

Fortnite is becoming a Monopoly... Alright, I'll show myself out now.

@edgedino A "fun version" of Monopoly has yet to be made.

Really? Monopoly again? Of all the board games to not fit Fortnite style... But I guess everything needs to have its own Monopoly, despite the game being awful and never improving.
At least GoT has a version of Catan as well (and it's quite interesting, as it adds the Wall and attacking barbarians). And, well, a GoT board game that predates the TV show and now a miniatures game as well.

You could make a fun Fortnite board game, with mechanics pertaining to gathering resources, building some quick fortifications, shrinking play area and killing everyone else. But that would take a game designer rather than just slapping new labels on an existing game.

I guess this lady will be happy.

@SmaggTheSmug i have played a fun one before but it wasn't called monopoly and was a game based on it called fortune street where npc's cheat with their stupid over powered ai.

I lost interest before even playing the game as I couldn't customise my characters appearance (and its sex). :/

That's cool.
