Monopoly Pizza Game | A pizza-themed version of the classic board game
The Monopoly Pizza Game, don’t you wonder how to play it? Well Hasbro explains: “In this delicious twist on the classic Monopoly game, players are trying to buy as many types of pizza as they can — from classic pepperoni or spinach to mushroom. Instead of buying properties or collecting rent, players will aim to collect a colour set which corresponds to a type of pizza, such as veggie lovers, barbecue chicken or even mac and cheese! A full set of flavours combines to make an awesome new pizza, giving those cards a higher value. At the end of the game, the player who collects the most pizza slices wins!”
