2025 / Board game expansion pack / 2-6 players
****
Releasing an expansion series for a 90-year-old board game is a funny idea in itself, and this one leaned into the silliness most, so seemed like it'd be a fun addition to her Sailor Moon set, but I didn't predict how much she'd be obsessed with it (for about a week, anyway). On the technical level, it creates more problems than it solves and essentially breaks the game. But when the game is Monopoly, you can't really complain, and it succeeds on the entertainment level. Especially when your promising overpowered card combo strategy gets you nothing but more worthless money, then your opponent picks up a card that lets her win by landing on Go.
