If you loved Monopoly as a kid, now you can relive the classic game with a fun millennial twist thanks to the release of 'Monopoly Pizza.'
As you can guess from the name, Monopoly Pizza is a pizza-themed version of Hasbro's beloved Monopoly board game. As the company explains, the new version requires players to move around the board collecting as many types of pizza as they can. And instead of trying to buy properties or collecting rent, each player "will aim to collect a color set which corresponds to a type of pizza, such as veggie lovers, barbecue chicken, or even mac and cheese!" At the end, the player with the most slices of 'za wins. Best of all, the game pieces are pizza shaped so you can play as a tiny cheese grater, parmesan shaker, or pizza cutter.
