Hasbro to release a Baby Yoda-based 'Monopoly' board game

Here's some apt Star Wars Day-related news. Hasbro is cashing in on the obsession with The Mandalorian's star The Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda, with a Monopoly: The Child Edition board game. It won't be out until September 2020, but pre-orders are now available through Entertainment Earth, which ships internationally. The game costs US$19.99 (around CA$28.23), and each pack comes with the gameboard, four cardboard tokens with pawn stands, 18 title deed cards, 16 "Bounty Puck cards," 16 "Camtono cards," 32 plastic hideouts, 12 plastic common houses, 12 dice, a money pack, and a guide explaining how to play.

The gameplay is still relatively the same as the classic Monopoly game; you still play until one last player is left standing, and the others have gone bankrupt. You move around the gameboard as The Child; you can buy and sell hideouts and common houses; and follow the actions from the Camtono and Bounty Puck cards.
