A fast-dealing property trading game... set in a radioactive nuclear hellscape occupied by towering death lizards and chaingun-toting mutant beefcakes.
Beloved board game Monopoly gets a special, Fallout-themed "Collector's Edition" in November, coinciding with the Nov. 10 launch of Fallout 4 from Bethesda Softworks. The tabletop game is GameStop exclusive.
There's no product listing on the retailer's website, but confirmation of the release month and exclusivity comes straight from USAopoly.
The game was initially teased on Fallout's official Twitter feed, and it later took center stage at the annual GameStop Expo. When a ShackNews writer who was in attendance shared an Instagram photo of the stage reveal, USAopoly stepped into the comments to confirm the timing and availability.
We've yet to get a glimpse of the game board or other bits and pieces that make this special version of Monopoly feel distinctly Fallout. Will the board game connect directly with Fallout 4, which is set in and around the post-apocalyptic ruins of Boston? Or will it go wider, covering regions like Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, both of which featured into past Bethesda-fueled takes on the series? A better question: Will the game box include stacks and stacks of bottle caps, the currency of choice in Fallout's varied wastelands?
We'll likely find out before November rolls around -- so stay tuned.
