The Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets Its Very Own Monopoly Set

Mario's hat is cool, but why can't we play as his shoe?

There's monopoly with everything

Also, why is this random flashlight in the pawn set?

Looks incredibly low effort. Didn't even design the board to have a full design.

My city of 4 square miles has a monopoly set. I'm pretty sure everything has a monopoly edition now.

I wish this were a follower to Gamer Monopoly series that came out a few years ago. It streamlined the rules and actually made the game fun.

If only Monopoly was fun.

Ironically, I think Hasbro own this, so you'd think they'd do a Monopoly of Honour Among Thieves instead. But I'm glad they didn't.

You can play with: Cap, Mushroom, Donkey Kong Barrel, The Crown, Lamp and Pan.

@ComfyAko Id assume (not yet seeing the movie) its Luigis flashlight like in Luigis Mansion

Is Monopoly even good? It's from an era when everyone had similar board games. There's so many more to choose now I honestly cannot imagine owning Monopoly, let alone buying additional variants of the same game.

Besides, I'd have thought the buying up of property, charging extortionate rent and attempting to bankrupt people would be a bit more of a taboo subject nowadays.

connect 4 is the best board game of all time

I thought Mario was supposed to bring families together, not tear them apart.

@CazSonOfCaz have you never played a Mario Party or Mario Kart game? Mario has been a professional at tearing apart families and ending friendships for decades now lol

It's appropriate that only one company produces Monopoly sets.
The orig game was a warning about capitalism, amusingly.
Anyway, nothing beats The Wire Monopoly

That's cool, except that Monopoly sucks.
They can dress it up with as many licenses as they want, but that doesn't change the fact that nobody actually likes the game.

@B_BIackNinja_N I'm pretty sure it's not, I even checked how Luigi's flashlight looks like in Mansion and it's not it... it's just there!

@Rambler well there are some ripoffs that work in exactly the same way, like Eurobusiness

Why can't they make one of these with proper coloured player objects, maybe even actual characters from the game. I really hate the meh silver pieces. They have no charm or appeal for me.

@nocdaes I still love Monopoly. One of my favorite basic board games. Though I don't like calling it basic because that's like calling Vanilla basic when I think it's a bit disrespectful to think of it as a "plain" flavor when it is vanilla flavored (but I also get the term vanilla means plain as well). I mean it's easier to find people to get to play Monopoly with since most people should know close enough how it's played versus introducing people to a board game that you need like 30 min to explain and set up.

Like watching those Game Grumps episodes when they play the video game version of it. They always get heated up.

Edit: I also can't think of many other games that played like Monopoly though that had properties and stuff. Yeah there a lot of games where you race around the board but can't think of many that actually play like Monopoly. Then there's like the negotiation aspect with it and forming partnerships with people to take on the common enemy only for that guy to stab you in the back...

@thenikdavies All Monopoly editions are low effort, and the game sucks, anyway.

I cringe when I see all these Monopoly editions. Like how much garbage they need to produce?

The scalpers will have a field day with this one.

@JohnnyMind Yes, that's much more like it (and it has the proper plastic coins too):

Shame this version is like £150 on Amazon UK

What's next? A Super Mario Bros. Movie toaster and bath salts? lol

@Vil

Do any of us know what we're doing anymore
