New Pokemon Monopoly Includes Cute Figures, Releases Just In Time For Christmas

This version of Monopoly tasks you with chasing down eight different Pokemon, and it's now available for preorder

This version of the board game puts a unique Pokemon-themed spin on the rules. Instead of buying and collecting property with Monopoly Money, players use Pokeballs to search for Pokemon on the various locations on the board. The goal is to catch eight types of Pokemon or be the last Trainer with any Poke Balls left in their inventory. Along with a colorful game board featuring locations from the series, you’ll get miniature figures of Pikachu, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.

Like all things Pokemon, Monopoly: Pokemon Edition is bound to be popular, so consider preordering while it’s still available. Preordering on Amazon makes you eligible for any price cuts between now and release, and you won’t need to pay until the item ships. With a release date of December 20, this could be a fun holiday gift.

Two other Pokemon Monopoly games are already available, but they’re only sold by third-party retailers. The Monopoly: Pokemon Kanto Edition is $45 and features metal tokens of the original Pokemon, while Monopoly: Pokemon Johto Edition is also $45 and features metal tokens of Pikachu, Totodile, Togepi, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Pichu.

For something different, Ravensburger’s popular Pokemon Labyrinth board game is on sale for just $17 (was $30). Your goal is to navigate through an ever-shifting maze to track down various Pokemon. Matches are quick at around 30 minutes, and you can compete against up to three other players. A cool glow-in-the-dark version of Labyrinth was released in October--and it’s already seeing a nice 10% discount.
