Make Your Friends An Offer They Can’t Refuse: The Godfather Monopoly

20 Jun

godfather monopoly - 01

2012 marks the forty year anniversary of The Godfather. To celebrate this, Hasbro and Paramount have teamed up to create a collector’s edition of Monopoly based on Francis Ford Coppola’s hit crime drama. In this new take on the game, players will not choose between the dog, hat or race car, but a horse’s head, a cannoli, a Genco Olive Oil tin, the Don’s limo, a dead fish or a tommy gun.

The usual London streets and stations will be replaced with, among others, Woltz International Pictures, Moe Green’s Casino, Joe’s Diner and Hyman Roth’s Home. Instead of fighting for Mayfair and Park Lane, players will race to own the Corleone Long Island Home and Lake Tahoe Estate.

There is no longer the “chance” to land on a “community chest” as these cards have been replaced with the well-named “friends” and “enemies” cards; I know which one I’d rather land on. There are no houses or hotels, but instead Hideouts and Compounds and you also have the opportunity to kidnap your fellow players.

In short, this sounds absolutely amazing and completely intriguing. I’d love the chance to get my hands on one of these games.
