Monopoly has launched a new Elf-themed game that’s now available to buy here in the UK and it sounds absolutely brilliant.
Yes, it may only be September, but there’s no harm in getting into the spirit early – especially when it’s for something this good.
The iconic board game has been reimagined in the world of Elf, the 2003 Christmas smash hit starring Will Ferrell and directed by Jon Favreau.
The film is an undeniable Christmas classic and often right at the top of the watch list for most people as the festive season begins to roll around.
Just like the iconic Elf, the game also follows Buddy the Elf as he travels from the north pole to New York City in search of his father, after finding out that he is actually a human and fleeing Santa’s workshop.
Using key themes from the film, this customised Elf board game works just like the original Monopoly that we all know and love – with some festive quirks added in for good measure.
Suitable for those aged eight and over, you will travel around the board touring wondrous landmarks on Buddy’s journey.
All of this is done using festive tokens like maple syrup – taking care not to be a “cotton headed ninny muggins” and end up in jail.
Further tokens referencing classics from the film include Santa’s bag, a mailroom coffee mug, a polar bear cub, Santa’s sleigh, and a Jack-in-the-box.
New festive additions to the board that nod to the film, meanwhile, include Santa’s Workshop, the Empire State Building, and Central Park Woods.
Featuring a host of iconic moments from Christmas favourite Elf such as custom hotels and homes, players of this special Monopoly edition will get to relive some of their favourite film moments through the new board game.
Elf Monopoly is now available to buy Amazon for £37.95 here.
