The Primetime Animated Comedy Series Hits the Tabletop, Following the Show's 25th Anniversary Celebration
CARLSBAD, Calif., May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Op Games, the board game and puzzle publisher behind iconic licensed games and best-selling party games Telestrations®, Blank Slate™ and Hues and Cues™, today launched a brand-new comedic version of the world's most popular family board game – MONOPOLY®: Family Guy Edition. Under license by Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, this new game brings the 25-year-long animated comedy series to tabletop form, giving fans another way to laugh with their favorite dysfunctional family.
"Family Guy is one of the most well-known animated series in TV history, which is why we're so excited to bring MONOPOLY®: Family Guy Edition to fans of the show," said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op. "With a custom gameboard that's sure to resonate with fans old and new, we cannot wait to see the laughs this game will bring as they come together to play through the Family Guy world."
In the new game, players can seize the opportunity to "amass a freakin' fortune" in Quahog. Buy, sell and trade all the prime real estate in town, from the Barrington Country Club, where those hoity-toity phonies, hang out to the Quahog Mini-Mart, where you can find the cheapest (and stalest) cases of Pawtucket Patriot – every iconic location is up for the taking. Players can choose from six collectible tokens including Rupert and Evil Monkey as they build Homes (Houses) and Mansions (Hotels) to create a Quahog empire and take all the dough.
Created for two to six players, ages 14 and up, MONOPOLY®: Family Guy Edition includes custom Family Guy "Clams" MONOPOLY Money, while Community Chest and Chance cards have been renamed to "HOLY CRAP!" and "WHAAAAA?" cards, respectively. The custom gameboard features Peter, Lois and the Griffin family, ensuring players will have a giggity giggity good time.
"For 25 years, Family Guy has delighted fans with its beloved characters, hilarious storytelling and comedic punchlines," says Bradley Bowman, Senior Director, Global Toy and Game, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro. "It's an honor welcoming a long-standing series into our portfolio and offering Family Guy, comedy, MONOPOLY, pop culture and gaming fans everywhere the opportunity to enjoy this brand-new gaming experience."
