Nintendo Monopoly

Nintendo Monopoly, a Monopoly version for all you Nintendo geeks out there. What you’ll be doing in this version is buying the names of all your favorite Nintendo characters: Mario, Link, etc…

The playing pieces are a NES, Mario’s hat, a koopa shell, and other iconic imagery from the wonderful world of Nintendo.

I’m not a huge Monopoly fan, but this has my interest. There’s even rules for a 60-minute speed version of the game.

Restrict to no more than two teams and enforce a limited play time, and it sounds like fun.
