6 Tokens: Coca Cola, X-box, Chevrolet, Ducati, McDonald’s and Paramount.We have a junior monopoly already and since both of my children aged 4 and 5 already enjoy that version, they enjoyed playing this version too. If you recall in an earlier post, I had mentioned Monopoly Empire as one of Argos Top Christmas Toys for 2013. I am very excited to get to play them.Īfter the event, we were given the game to take home to try and we love it! This game is suitable for 2-4 players and for 8 years and above but the core simplicity of the game, I think, makes it suitable for younger. įor the first time in history, the new Monopoly Empire game features world-class brands, such as Coca-Cola, Xbox, McDonald’s and Samsung – creating a new Monopoly gaming experience where players collect, buy, and trade top brands and companies – rather than property – in a quest to “own it all” and win the game. I used Wondershare video editor to share this photo video. ![]() These are a few photos I took while I was there. We also met up with my friend Anna Marikar. Take chances, make deals, and find out if you have what it takes to be the brand-holding Monopoly mogul.Earlier this week, I was invited to attend the Official Monopoly Empire UK Unveil at Hamleys. We were the earliest people to arrive as the staff set up the store. While we were waiting to get a peek at the game, Mr K and Ms C were each given an air guitar balloon and colouring to do. While it stays true to the Monopoly legacy, the new rules and additions, along with the vibrant game board, add a totally modern take on a classic game night staple. With brands like Nerf and Chevrolet, both parents and children will have all the incentive they need to put their brand-buying strategies to work. Monoply Empire is, quite literally, a race to the top. ![]() To get you to the Winner’s Circle even sooner, earn a free office tile to add to your tower after you collect a full color-coded set of companies. Every time a player makes their way around the board and passes “Go,” they collect the current value of their tower. If a player lands on one, he or she must draw an Empire card and their billionaire fate rests in its hands. ![]() Going once, going twice, sold!Īnother new addition to the classic game is the Empire space. If a player lands on a brand that they do not want to buy, it’s up for grabs and the banker auctions it off to the highest selling bidder. If the player doesn’t want to get Monopoly blood on their hands, they can opt out of the sneaky swap, and move the number of spaces on the other die.Īs players make their way across the board, they’ll land on spaces with a specific brands that no one owns, which they then may buy, collect the tokens for, and add them to their tower. In most cases it will instruct the player the number of spaces to move, however, they may also roll on a handshake symbol, otherwise known as the “sneaky swapper.” The player should then prepare to play a little dirty, as he or she now has the power to switch the topmost billboard in one tower with any other player’s, including his or her own. Once friends are ready to turn into foes-for the sake of their empire at least-they must choose a banker and each pick a gold token to play as while they move across the board on a mission to acquire billboards.Īfter each player carefully carries out whatever superstitious and dramatic dice-rolling technique they may have, he or she rolls both dice on their turn. ![]() These items, as well as the typical Chance Cards and pretend money, must be set up on the flashy skyscraper game board. Monopoly Empire trades in the usual house and hotel pieces for towers and brand tiles. While official trades may not occur, there are cards and game spaces, such as the Rival Tower Tax, that force players to swap billboards or to take away from an opponent. The big game-changer in this Monopoly edition is rather than collect property to bankrupt opponents, players collect billboards of the biggest brands in the U.S., including Hasbro, Spotify, Xbox, Coca-Cola, and beyond, in a race to be the first to fill his or her tower. On March 19, the game night staple turns an impressive 81, and what better way to blow out the competition… I mean, candles, than with Monopoly Empire, Hasbro Gaming’s latest version where players can beg, barter, sell, and do whatever else it may take to become the title-holding brand typhoon (because, bragging rights, obviously). Last year, Monopoly celebrated its milestone 80th birthday, and the classic game just keeps getting better with time.
