Hasbro’s classic Monopoly has morphed yet again, this time into a more physical experience that is something like a cross between a board game and shuffleboard. In Monopoly Knockout, Ppayers will take turns sliding their tokens down a 3-foot long gameboard with the goal of landing them on properties. You can also knock other player’s tokens into Jail or off the board altogether. A the end of each round, you’ll collect or pay cash based on where the tokens ended up. As always, the player with the most cash at the end of the game wins!
It sounds like a fun family game night experience that will be faster and easier to play than than the original Monopoly. Plus, tossing around tokens in a fit of rage is actually encouraged! If you agree, you can pick up Monopoly Knockout early here at Walmart priced at $19.82. It will be available at other retailers (like Amazon) starting on January 1st.ย
