Here are the additional Power Pack Character Abilities: Hopefully we don’t end up with another amiibo epidemic of limited availability, though from what we've seen online it seems to be heading that way. As a collector, I want them all, but could only find Fire Mario from the Forbidden Planet store where the game was purchased. There's Bowser too, but he's not available via regular Power Packs - more on that later. The extra Characters are Wario, Luigi, Toad, Boo, Rosalina, Diddy Kong, Fire Mario and Tanooki Mario. The game is still fully playable without these additional game pieces, but purchasing these not only yields the owner more iconic pieces of plastic to marvel at, but also new Abilities to utilise within the game, making it that much more interesting. Now to many this may seem like a scam for Hasbro and Nintendo to make some extra dosh, but from a collector’s standpoint this scribe personally loves it. Each Power Pack comes with a Character Token, a card outlining their two unique Abilities, and a sticker of that Mushroom Kingdom wanderer. What we mean by this is that the game has more Character Tokens to collect via Monopoly Gamer Power Packs. Here are the Character Token Abilities of the 4 standard game pieces that come with Monopoly Gamer: So, using Mario again as an example, Mario gets to roll the numbered die, and collect that many Coins +5 from the Bank. Super Star Abilities are activated when a player lands on one of the 4 Super Star spaces on the board. They're basically Character-specific enhancements to the rewards the Power-up die yields players. For example, Mario’s Power-up Boost is Coins, so if a player using Mario rolls Coins on the Power-up die on their turn, they’ll receive 4 Coins from the Bank instead of the usual 3. Each Character comes with a card that describes both of their Abilities that players can hold for a gentle reminder. Each Character possesses two unique traits, one being a Power-up Boost to one of the Power-up Abilities described above, and the other being their Super Star Ability. Monopoly Gamer comes bundled with Mario, Princess Peach, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Character Tokens (board counters/figures), but there’s more to choosing a figure than simply who you roll with in Mario Kart or main in Super Smash Bros. Secondly we have Character Token Abilities. Every 5 Coins held equates to 10 points, so it can be a good idea for a player to curb unnecessary spending! However, like in some of the older Mario Party console games, holding onto as many Coins as possible until the end of the game can be a rewarding strategy. Coins come in 1 Coin and 5 Coin variants, and can be used to purchase Properties, enter Boss Battles and - of course - pay rent and other expenses throughout the game. If the latter two occurs, that specific Boss card is discarded and removed from play altogether, negating anyone the chance of netting some extra points.įinally is the replacement for Monopoly’s traditional note currency, Coins. This goes on until a player defeats the boss, everyone runs out of Coins, or everyone passes. However, if a player fails to “defeat" a Boss, doesn’t have enough Coins to play them, or passes, the attempt goes to the next player, allowing them to pay the stated Coin value for their chance to nab that Boss card. "Force a Property trade between any two players, including yourself."), but more importantly, they keep the card and its assigned points. If a player wins, they carry out the reward stated on the card (e.g. A battle is won if a player meets a Boss’ individual roll requirements (e.g. The Bosses consist of the 7 Koopalings and Bowser, making a total of 8 "fights", with each of them stating a Coin amount that a player must pay before challenging them. If a player does this, they must finish the remainder of their turn and then flip a card over from the deck of Boss cards. How are Bosses fought? A Boss Battle commences once a player lands or passes the "GO" space. It's self-explanatory really - the more Properties a player owns at the end of the game, the higher chance they have of winning.ĭefeating Bosses in Boss Battles is a second way to acquire points. Like regular Monopoly, not only do they earn a player rent when opposing players land on them (with rent amount doubling if a complete set of two is owned - that's right, there are no sets of three anymore), but each Property also has a point value assigned to them, making them even more valuable to own.
