Game-maker creates 'addicting' game by mashing up Monopoly and Scrabble: All you need to know

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Monopoly and Scrabble, came together in the release of Monopoly Scrabble. At first glance, these two Hasbro games may appear to have little in common, with one focusing on property trading and the other on word-making. However, the innovative combination promised delightful fun for players of all ages. Winning Moves Games, the Massachusetts-based board game maker, secured licensing permission from Hasbro to bring this novel game to life, expressing confidence that both adults and kids would embrace this exciting new challenge.

Monopoly Scrabble introduces a unique twist on traditional Monopoly by replacing dice with Scrabble tiles for navigation. Players now move around the edges of the board based on the scores they achieve with their word creations. As they form words on special Scrabble spaces, they can earn and purchase properties. The game offers further excitement with twists such as community chest and chance cards, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. The ultimate goal remains the same as in Monopoly: players aim to accumulate the highest total of cash and property value by the time the last letter tile is played. In this version, having a strong vocabulary becomes an advantage, shifting the reliance away from mere luck.

Unlike traditional Monopoly rounds that are notorious for their lengthy duration, Monopoly Scrabble offers a welcome change with rounds that can be completed in under an hour, as advertised by Winning Moves. This aspect caters to players seeking a more streamlined and fast-paced gaming experience.

Monopoly Scrabble is available for purchase on winning-moves.com at a retail price of $35.95.
