Animal Crossing: New Horizons Revealed a Monopoly Edition 2021

It appears that the Monopoly edition of Animal Crossing from Hasbro, like the Nintendo Switch version, will allow players to explore islands, collect resources, and earn Nook Miles in the same way they do in the Nintendo Switch version. You'll complete island tasks, interact with villagers, and shop at Nook's Cranny, all of which will earn you Cheap Animal Crossing Bells, the game's virtual currency. Fish, bugs, fruit, and fossils have taken the place of their original properties. The player who has accumulated the greatest number of Nook Miles at the conclusion of the game will be declared the winner. If you're a fan of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons video game on the Nintendo Switch, the board game version might be a fun twist on what you already know and love. Furthermore, it is adorable - particularly the tokens for the villagers.

Tom Nook's capitalistic tendencies have long been a source of amusement for Animal Crossing fans, so it's not surprising that this has finally happened. This edition, on the other hand, does not entail the construction of rows of villagers' homes. Instead of causing friends to go bankrupt by charging them for hotels and utilities, the Animal Crossing board game focuses on accumulating Nook Miles in the same way that players do in the video game. This custom board based on Nintendo's best-selling sim includes four villager tokens, cards based on in-game events, and bells in place of the traditional Monopoly dollars to create a unique gaming experience. In addition, players receive collectible tokens for fruit, fossils, fish, and bugs, which they can use to Buy ACNH Items in the same way they did in the original game.

In a related vein, Hasbro and Nintendo recently collaborated on a Super Mario-themed edition of the classic board game The Game of Life. In this updated version of a classic, you can take on the role of Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi and spin your way to victory in a battle against Bowser and his minions. Mario and his pals will move around the gameboard, collecting coins and power-ups as they go, in order to complete their objectives. On your journey, you can also participate in minigames such as Paper Scissors, Thumb Wars, and Spin-Offs. As they get closer to Bowser's Castle, players will also be able to purchase stars to help them boost their battle-spin total; each star collected adds 1 point to their spin total, and players will need to spin a number higher than 12 to defeat Bowser and win the game.

The Animal Crossing board game is expected to be released in August 2021, according to Entertainment Earth's listing. A disclaimer in the description, on the other hand, emphasizes that shipping estimates are subject to change and that buyers will not be charged until the package has been shipped. It's unclear how many physical stores are selling Animal Crossing Monopoly games in the United States at this time. According to Kotaku, European websites already had the ACNH Monopoly game available for pre-order before news of the game broke in the United States and elsewhere.

This isn't the first time Hasbro has released a product related to video games, and it's unlikely to be the last. In the past, the company has created Monopoly special editions that were inspired by video games such as Super Mario, Pac-Man, and Fallout 3. Hasbro even created a separate board game called Pokemon Master Trainer, which revolved around catching and evolving Pokemon characters.
