'Monopoly' Receives a Charming 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Revamp
Instead of buying properties and paying rent, players will be collecting bugs, fish, fossils and fruit.
Hasbro is merging the worlds of Monopoly and Animal Crossing: New Horizons with the collaborative Animal Crossing Edition Monopoly board game.
Customized to the world of the Nintendo Switch title, the Animal Crossing Edition Monopoly board game allows two to four players and switches out the traditional gameplay of buying properties and paying rent with collecting bugs, fish, fossils and fruit. It also includes a customized gameboard, character tokens, skill cards, decoration cards, chance charts, Nook Miles cards, Resource chips, Bell coins, a numbered die and a Nook’s Cranny die.
Players can pick up a skill card after one trip around the board and they can keep that ability throughout the game, as well as stop by Nook’s Cranny to purchase decorations using Bells. The decorations are worth Nook Miles and the player with the highest amount of Nook Miles will be named the winner of the game.
The Animal Crossing Edition Monopoly board game is available for pre-order on Entertainment Earth for approximately $25 USD.
