Okay, let’s dive into this. You know, the whole Marvel and Monopoly Go thing? It’s kind of wild. Honestly, they’re smashing worlds together in ways I never really thought possible. Like, picture the Fantastic Four running around a board game. Right? Anyway—or wait, focus—Marvel’s going all in with Scopely for this big Monopoly Go event, tied to their new flick, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I mean, why not?
I think I heard about a Marvel gig last year too—September maybe? But here we are again, with everything kicking off on July 13th. But let’s rewind for a second because I just realized how odd it is to have superheroes in Monopoly. I mean, real estate and crime-fighting. Go figure.
Anyway, this whole gig is about slamming the Fantastic Four—you know, Marvel’s OG superhero fam—straight into Monopoly Go. Starting Sunday, they’re throwing in events and collectibles. Like, they opened a Marvel portal, and now we’ve got a blend of Fantastic Four craziness and good old Monopoly fun.
So, what’s on the docket? Well, they’ve got these Fantastic Racers smashing through the Tycoon Racers event. The Fantastic Four’s got retro Fantasti-Cars. Herbie’s there too, cheering like only a digital robot can, and Dr. Doom’s got some disruptor thing. Classic Doom.
Then there’s the Fantastic Partners Event. Team up, grab some Fantasticoins, and bring characters like Mister Fantastic and the rest to life. Oh, and there’s more—like wandering into Reed’s lab full of all those Marvel gadgets. The Ultimate Nullifier, Silver Surfer’s board—you know the drill.
Oh, and don’t forget the Deluxe Drop. Deck your little Monopoly dude with all kinds of Fantastic Four gear. Sounds like a Mardi Gras for comic fans. Collectibles galore—tokens, emojis, shields, what-have-you. It’s a whole junket.
If you’re reading this before the 13th, heads up: there’s this Aqua Partners thing wrapping up that day too. Tan-gent time: it might be worth checking out some Monopoly Go Dice Links. Never hurts, right? Anyway—wait, where was I?—yeah, jump in if you’re into mixing comics with board game chaos. Sounds like it’ll be a trip.
