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). Haha! OMG! Yay! Another version!ĭisclaimer: While we received the Monopoly Empire board game for the purposes of this review, this review was provided on a voluntary basis, and no compensation was received.Last year, Monopoly celebrated its milestone 80th birthday, and the classic game just keeps getting better with time. Psst… The big sis just let in that she’ll be getting the Star Wars edition soon cos, in her own words, it’s “damn cool”.
Video monopoly empire update#
Haha!) But I will update when we can finally have another siblings game night! I would’ve inserted a time lapse video here to show you how fast this game can be, but I didn’t expect it when we played that first night, and we haven’t been able to find a time where all four of us are available to meet up for another session… (I blame growing up and having different responsibilities. It’s definitely more straight forward than the original Monopoly – which we realized, after playing for so many donkey years, that we’ve been playing it wrong. It also helps that it didn’t take long for us to understand the rules of the game. We managed 3 rounds in one hour! Mad love it!
Monopoly Empire is hands down the fastest paced Monopoly game we have played so far. Haha! We had a good laugh over that when we failed to stop our youngest sister from winning! Dre’ brand and my elder sister stole it with her Empire card. I remember at our third round, in a bid to win, I played the “You’re Fired” card when my youngest sister bought the ‘Beats by Dr.
Just look at how cruel some of them can be! Haha! The cards in Monopoly Empire are so awesome that I look forward to picking one up. To our delight, it means we can choose between moving the number of steps we threw or… And this is one of my favourite parts… Take over someone else’s purchased brand! Hahaha! When one of us threw this combination for the first time, we had wondered what the hand shaking meant. But now that it comes with the option of taking a trip to anywhere on the board, it ups the fun, making it a bonus spot to land on! This is usually the most safe, and boring, spot on the board. If only there had been a Candy (Candy Crush) or a Guitar (Guitar Hero) token, I’d totally use them! Alas, Optimus Prime did not help me win a single round… Think I shall go with Ford next round to zoom past everyone! While my usual token for Monopoly is either the shoe or the hat, I went with Optimus Prime when playing Monopoly Empire for the first time. It’s not everyday you can use the head of Optimus Prime as your game token, ok!
Haha! The second round was all about working out the kinks, and by the third round, we were sold!Īnd here are the reasons why I love Monopoly Empire so much! My brother had been reading the rules out loud to us but none of us retained the information. In the first round, we were pretty much trying to understand the rules as we play.
