Jul 19, 2024 11:51 AM

Hasbro and Scopely are teaming up to transform their successful mobile game, Monopoly Go, into a physical board game. This new version aims to capitalize on the massive player base of Monopoly Go, seeking to convert mobile gamers into board game enthusiasts. The gameplay focuses on building landmarks and includes unique elements like bank heists, making it a modern twist on traditional Monopoly. With various themes already existing in the Monopoly universe, the new version could potentially attract a large audience, much like the mobile game has.

What makes the new physical version of Monopoly Go different from the traditional Monopoly game?

The new physical version of Monopoly Go introduces unique elements such as individual Monopoly boards for each player, the objective of building landmarks first, and bank heists, which are inspired by features found in the popular mobile game.

Monopoly Go, the mobile game, has gained significant traction with its engaging mechanics and frequent events that keep players hooked. It serves as a daily routine for many mobile gamers, attributing to its increasing success and awards for Scopely. Incorporating these elements into a traditional board game format could bridge the gap between digital and physical gaming, offering an enriched experience for fans of both mediums.
