Hasbro announces new Monopoly: Barbie Edition Game

Published on: 2nd August 2023

The new Monopoly includes Barbie-inspired tokens in signature pink and famous locations in the Barbie dream world as players aim to build their own DreamHouse.

The new Monopoly: Barbie Edition Game has been unveiled by Hasbro. Suitable for ages eight years+ and for 2-6 players, the game is  available for pre-order on Amazon now, and will hit wider retail in October.

In the special edition board game, players can imagine slipping into pink Barbie shoes as they follow their dreams. First, they choose from six Barbie-inspired zinc tokens in the brand’s signature pink. There’s a Dog, Show, Sportscar, Speedboat, Roller Skate and Barbie herself. Each player then selects a ‘Be Anything’ card to choose from six Barbie careers, before travelling the board and purchasing famous locations in the Barbie dream world, ultimately building their own DreamHouses.

If a “B” is rolled with the special Barbie die, players can flex their unique Be Anything skill, giving them an edge over opponents, and they can also live out career and fashion goals by drawing Dream Career and Dream Closet cards.

This latest line joins a host of Barbie themed product produced to celebrate the release of the Barbie Movie, which has opened to widespread acclaim and broken box office records globally.
