Hasbro works together with Sanrio and Winning Moves to present a special Hello Kitty Monopoly board game to continue celebrating the beloved character's 50th anniversary. The game is adorably designed and retains its competitive nature as the classic game is elevated with the motifs of Hello Kitty.
The entire game goes through a new transformation with the emblems and color palette. All of the game cards and items are made to center around Hello Kitty. The game pieces are also transformed to suit the overarching theme. The new variation is launching in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand first and will be available to shop at toy stores including the Entertainer and other retailers. It is priced at £34.99.
