Moving passed all the tokens and boards, the real reason to pick up a board game like Monopoly is to play with friends, and that is where this really works on the Switch. These aren’t all unlocked immediately, so you have a list of objectives to complete to unlock these tokens… how exciting? (Ok, really end of sarcasm now). Monopoly sports many of the classic tokens along with some new ones (my personal favorite is the t-rex). Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t expect Star Wars since I’m sure that’s a pricey royalty to pay, but they could have went for a Mario themed board, especially since Ubisoft is already in bed with Nintendo from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.įorget about different licensed boards, who really wants that, especially when you can have over a dozen different tokens to use (end sarcasm). While these themes work for added replay-ability, why aren’t there any licensed boards? The animated living boards are nice but they just left me wanting more, and reminiscing about the Star Wars Monopoly from years ago made me question the exclusion of licensed boards more. There’s a few options as far as themes for the board amusement park, haunted house and classic. Monopoly for Switch is exactly what you should expect for fans of the board game. Here we are in 2017 and it’s time for another Monopoly video game, this time on the year’s most (surprisingly) popular console and most local multiplayer friendly console.Įveryone knows the game of Monopoly clearly, so I’m not going to waste any time discussing that. The problem with these Monopoly releases is that this, like most board games, are a social experience and meant to be played with many players, not to mention they seem to work better with a physical board. 3D animated tokens moving along a board filled with Star Wars themed properties and sound effects, I really dug it.
I remember in the 90’s playing Star Wars Monopoly on CD-ROM for my computer. But being the most famous board game is not enough, game developers for over twenty years have been crafting digital versions of the board game. What’s there to say about arguably the most famous and popular board game of all time? Monopoly is a game that I’m sure everyone owns in some form, whether it’s the classic version or any of the hundreds of licensed versions that you can find for almost everything.
