Pros
Super Mario Monopoly sounds pretty exciting itself – it’s more than just classic Monopoly.
1. A new playstyle inspired by Super Mario
In Super Mario Monopoly, you don’t just win by gathering the most coins. It’s time to put your Super Mario knowledge to use and battle it out against legendary bosses to win!
Each character has their own special ability which definitely keeps it interesting on subsequent playthroughs. You’ll want to try and see what each character can do!
In addition, you don’t have two standard dies in this game. Move your character with the numbered die and roll a special skill with the power-up die!
2. Good price
Even with all the bells and whistles, Super Mario Monopoly is only $24.99 on the Hasbro website.
It’s an excellent deal for the Super Mario franchise coupled with Monopoly.
Compared to $19.99 for classic Monopoly, Super Mario Monopoly is not all that bad in terms of price considering the many other features you get. It could make for the perfect gift.
Cons
Super Mario Monopoly may be an exciting game to get into, but a good game is not without its drawbacks. Here are a couple of disadvantages we’ve identified.
1. Only allows 2-4 players
For your typical adult Monopoly game, a maximum of 4 players may be somewhat of an inconvenience.
Most other editions of Monopoly allow for more players. This could be a problem if you are planning to play with a big group of people.
However, if you have 2-4 players, Super Mario Monopoly can be just as fun as any other edition of Monopoly. After all, too many players can be a crowd.
Considering the different playstyle of Super Mario Monopoly, we think 2-4 players are just nice to really enjoy this edition of the game.
2. Can be confusing
With all its differences from classic Monopoly, Super Mario Monopoly may be difficult for some players to get into if they’re very used to classic Monopoly.
For example, players may find it difficult to understand the concept of boss fights in a game of Monopoly if they are used to just having the player with the most money win.
Super Mario Monopoly does come with a game guide for a reason, and while the different playstyle may not be suited to some people’s tastes, it’s generally easy enough for anyone to understand and play along with.
Overall Review
