In this version of Monopoly, players compete to earn money and buy locations and properties based on the show (yes, you can even purchase a cottage). The last player with money after all the other players have gone bankrupt wins.
Players can compete as one of six Heated Rivalry-inspired tokens, including an ice skate, a tuna melt, a smoothie cup or a loon (a.k.a. the “stupid Canadian wolf bird“).
The accompanying “Texts and Tabloids” cards meantime, reveal whether you’re in the penalty box after a scandal or whether you can advance to the gym. The cards also contain texts between “Lily” and “Jane,” the aliases main characters Ilya Rozanov (played by Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) gave themselves in messages to avoid their relationship being outed.
An officially-licensed release from toy maker Hasbro and showrunner Jacob Tierney’s Accent Aigu Entertainment, the Heated Rivalry Monopoly board features imagery and motifs from the hit show’s first season. Hasbro says there is also “a nod to Season Two, giving fans even more to discover when the series returns.”
The Monopoly Heated Rivalry Edition is available to pre-order now on Amazon and Walmart. Worth noting: Hasbro normally makes family-friendly games but this one comes with a 17+ age rating (the television series also came with a Mature Adults/ 17+ recommended viewing age). The game ships in May of next year, just after the anticipated premiere of Season Two.
