Apple: The App Store isn’t a monopoly ‘by any metric’
Monopoly IT Edition: Rich Uncle Pennywise
My first brush with Stephen King’s IT came at a young age when I was home one-day in the summer, and found it in my dad’s bookshelf. It scared the crap out of me within a couple of chapters, and I never finished reading it. The miniseries from back in the day was just as scary. I took my daughter to see the new IT when it was in theaters, and spent most of the time waiting for jump scares so I could frighten her. I got my money’s worth; the people around me not so much.
If you enjoy having the IT scared out of you too, check out this new Monopoly game, based on the creepy franchise.
We have yet to see any pictures of the board, tokens, or game cards, but the game will have players traveling around locations from the evil town of Derry. It will include special Losers’ Club currency, and tokens that look like items from IT as well. Hopefully Pennywise will take over duties for Rich Uncle Pennybags, and one of the tokens will be a red balloon.
Monopoly: IT Edition is expected to ship this May for $39.99, and you can pre-order it now over at Entertainment Earth.
Game Of Thrones Monopoly: I Play and I Know Things
If you have been waiting for a Game Of Thrones edition of Monopoly to go with your other 100 Monopoly variants, check this out. There was an earlier version of Game of Thrones Monopoly, but the latest one is way cooler. It even comes with a musical iron throne card holder, house sigil take tokens, GOT-themed money, and holdfasts and castles instead of houses and hotels. This is the board game that Game Of Thrones fans have been waiting for.
In the Monopoly Game of Thrones edition, the packaging, tokens, money, chance cards, and game pieces are all inspired by the popular HBO series. You have to buy as many iconic Westeros properties as you can, so you can collect rent and get Lannister rich while bankrupting your enemies.
Or you know, you can all pick up swords and fight each other to the death for the Iron Throne, but it’s probably better to just enjoy this board game. It’s less bloody and won’t require a visit to the emergency room. Usually. I guess it depends on how heated your Monopoly sessions get.

Overwatch Monopoly: Do Not Pass GO, Do Not Collect Loot Box
Overwatch fans will soon have another way to play the game. Hasbro will soon release a Monopoly Overwatch Collector’s Edition as well as a bunch of other Overwatch themed toys. Unlike regular Monopoly, players will need to choose a group lead, draft a team, and then battle for the high score. So if your family is bugging you to get off of your console and interact with the humans sitting next to you, here is another great way to play.
Instead of real-world locations and Chance cards, this game has places found in the video game and also loot boxes. It also has tokens based on the key characters of the game, like D.Va, Lucio, Mercy, Reaper, Tracer (AKA Lena Oxton), and Winston. Aside from that, it has 6 group leader cards, 21 character cards, 16 objective cards, 9 loot box cards, 4 reminder cards, 1 numbered die, 1 ability die, 90 plastic HP chips (50 fives and 40 ones), and the Game Guide. The board game Monopoly will arrive in April for $49.99, and you can preorder it now from GameStop.
In addition, Hasbro will be releasing a series of Overwatch Ultimates action figures. These 6-inch figures include Lucio, Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Reinhardt, and some dual-character packs. The single figures are $22.99 and the dual packs are $49.99.
