New Target Monopoly Game
Board and game pieces for the Target edition of Monopoly
Target now has its own version of a Monopoly game.
Instead of being rewarded for bold spending, the player who saves the most wins. Instead of buying properties and hotels, you fill a shopping basket with groceries, clothes, housewares or other items found at a Target store, and compete to see who can save the most at checkout.
Target says the Monopoly: Target Edition lets shoppers experience the fun of a “Target run” or shopping trip while playing the game. Target collaborated with toy manufacturer Hasbro, which owns the Monopoly brand, to create the game.
Target will begin taking online pre-orders for the $24.99 game on June 25, and it will be available in stores and online Aug. 1.
