Hello there. You know Monopoly Go, that mobile game that has more players than any of us will ever have hot dinners? Well, Hasbro and Scopely have been working on making a version of regular Monopoly – you know, the physical board game that’s been causing minor tiffs between families since at least the 1930s – based on the mobile game version.
Sorry if that’s confused you, it’s not your fault. Here, at least let me help you understand why this has been announced and is happening (thanks, Polygon). The answer, in a nutshell, is the primarly objective of monopoly itself – trying to make some cash.
Monopoly Go Monopoly follows on from the array of Monopolies already out there – including Cats Monopoly, Monopoly: Fortnite, Squishmallows Monopoly, and the HM Queen Elizabeth II Monopoly game that’s rather taken on a different significance since 2022 (we’re not trying to hawk any of these as of writing, at least as far as I know, you just need evidence that they exist).
