Holiday Game Night For a New Generation
Check out Hasbro Game Channel and experience MONOPOLY for a new era!
Living a block away from my grandparents growing up, I would spend most of the holidays at their house. My mom’s two sisters and their families would come and stay at their house. The whole family would stay for over two weeks, so when Christmas Eve and Day were over we would find other things to do together as a family. That’s where our tradition of holiday game night was formed! With 5 kids and three competitive sisters our game nights could go on till the early hours of the morning!
I have so many memorable memories of our holiday game nights. As a family, we often played guessing games like Charades and I used to crack up watching my grandmother act out her topic because she got so animated. We played board games too. Monopoly is my favorite board game, so it was always my favorite game to play. I can’t even begin to count the hours I have invested into becoming a Tycoon!
For the first time in a long time, my whole family will be staying at my grandparent’s house again this year. Things have changed a lot since our family holiday game nights back when I was young. For one thing, I’m not a kid anymore and like my cousins, I am a parent now! This year a whole new generation will make memories while taking part in holiday game night.
Holiday game night has changed a lot with the advent of new technology! Now the whole family can play Monopoly on a game system with the new Monopoly Family Fun Pack. Not having to worry about bending the cards and being the loser who puts the game away at the end of the night sounds great to me!
Monopoly Family Fun Pack is the first game available on the Hasbro Gaming Channel. Meaning, you can play the game against family members or online opponents. Up to five players can join in on the fun! Players can also use their own controller or the whole group can share the same controller.
There are three unique ways to play Monopoly:
MONOPOLY PLUS: Play the Monopoly you have come to love in a new 3D world. My family found the graphics to clear, dynamic and modern while keeping true to the classic game of monopoly. The visuals in the Living Board were our favorite out of the multitude of options.
MY MONOPOLY: Give your board some personality! We had fun giving funny names to the properties while being able to personalize our own game pieces. The animation of each character was fun too. My younger cousins got a kick out of their character flying around a fire extinguisher.
MONOPOLY DEAL: The fun of MONOPOLY packed into a fast-dealing, card-stealing game! This game is perfect for playing online against other opponents.
I love that Monopoly Family Fun Pack is designed with family game nights in mind. You don’t have to be a video game expert to play this game, which allows young children to join in on the fun. We will definitely be adding the Monopoly Family Fun Pack to our ‘new generation’ holiday game night this year!

We love family game night! I will have to look into these games
I spent a ton of time with my grandparents growing up. I remember the times when we would play games together or watch television. I kinda miss those days. Monopoly or The Game of Life was one of our favorite games to play.
I don’t have game nights but this looks like fun 🙂
I think that is great that you lived so close to your grandparents. We love having family movie night too!
This sounds like an awesome time indeed. I am going to have to get this Monopoly Fun Pack. My family will love this because we love playing Monopoly. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds like so much fun! We love Monopoly!
Mike and I usually just sack out on the couch after we get home from all the places we go to on Christmas day.
Sounds like alot of fun and good to get all together.
So fun! We Love having game night, and play monopoly often. We just got Junior too and the kids love it!
This looks like such a great family game! definitely adding to my wish list!
Oh my gosh … “the loser who has to put the game away …” I remember this so well. Even when my brother lost I ended up doing it because he was always so sloppy with it that it all wouldn’t fit back in the box!
Monopoly was always one of my favorites–that and Scrabble. I think I still have the original games up in my closet somewhere! It would be interesting to attempt to play a new version.
I always loved that game too, but yep, I hated putting the cards and money away. I’m all for trying this!
This is such a cool idea, like you we always play games at Christmas but sometimes bits go missing or end up flung across the room when someone looses!! This makes it even more fun and also convenient to play. Makes me wonder what other games they now have on games consoles!
Sounds like a perfect games for a family to get this Christmas. Does it available in PS2? We have a PS2 at the moment.
We so need this in my house! My oldest loves to play Monopoly, but every time we do, we lose more pieces.
I had no idea Hasbro had a Gaming Channel! We love board games at our house, so we really have to check out this gaming channel too!
That looks like fun! Monopoly is one of my favorite board games. Interesting to see it turned into a video game.
How fun! I really wish my daughter was old enough to play monopoly with me! I think my nephew would really enjoy this though!
This was an all time staple classic board game in our home raising our boys – I’m sure they would love this as a video game! Looks like so much fun! 😀
Oh my goodness! We love monopoly so much -this game looks amazing! I need to pick this up!
Yes Monopoly is one of my fav games especially at the holidays! I’m skeptical of the electronic version, though! I’m so old school.
I love Monopoly nights! We don’t have this game, but we do have something similar. We love playing!
We love the Monopoly game. We don’t have this one though. I’ve got to pick this up for the kiddos.
Our family love game night and we love Monopoly I have not seen this 3d one out yet. I’m looking forward to giving it a try.
We do lots of game nights in our house and this sounds like a fun one. Monopoly is always a favorite with us..
Monopoly was one of my favorite games as a kid. Where else can you buy real estate with paper money 🙂
I’d definitely try this… I love Monopoly. We’re a huge game family anyway, family time is a hoot when the board games come out.
We killed our Xbox, twice. So we aren’t going to fix it again. We got a PS3 last year for Christmas and my husband still has his PS2. We were out and about a few weeks ago and spotted this Monopoly game for the 2. We’ve been having a lot of fun playing it so I know this one is going to be just as good!
We just bought our kids the Xbox for Christmas, I so want this Monopoly game – sounds like a great way to bond with family!
How amazing. It is like a whole new twist to an age old classic.
How fun. Thanks for sharing such a great post. Happy Holiday.
This looks like so much fun! I think we need to get this to play with our kids.
We love game nights – especially over the Christmas holiday. Monopoly is one of my favorites!
We love game night. There is always so much excitement!
Monopoly was one of our favorites when we were little! I’ll bet playing it this way would be just as fun!
I remember the old way of playing Monopoly and so this is a fascinating alternative. I’ll let my kids know about this informative review.
We do have game nights, and we love Monopoly. This version is very different though, I’m sure it’s even more exciting and fun.
What a fun take on a classic game! My family is more into card games- spoons, gin rummy, hearts, and pinochle to be specific!
Monopoly is always going to be one of my favorite board games. I always tried to snatch up the utilities, Boardwalk, Park Place, and the Rail Roads.
Oh how lovely! We love family game night, especially Monopoly. We just got Monopoly junior not long ago and play it often! This would be great!
Oh wow! That looks like a blast and a half. Monopoly is such a classic game, we love it.
I love this post and all the suggestion here! I admit, I love to play Monopoly with my friends!
we love monopoly but have never played on a video game system! I bet it is a lot easier to set up! 😉
Monopoly is a great game night option as it gets everyone in the mood to win. I have sets from different parts of the world that my family gave me as gifts… might whip one out tonight. 🙂
I love Game Nights although no one likes to play the games I really like to play, like Scattergories and Outburst. Anyways, I gifted My Monopoly for my nephew this Christmas, and my mother and aunt fell in love with it more than he did. She took pictures of all of the photo ‘properties.’
