Besides the Marvel, Jurassic World, and Magic: The Gathering games we’ve covered in separate articles, Hasbro’s Toy Fair reveals included news of Monopoly, Scrabble, The Game of Life, Minions, Star Wars, Disney Princess, My Little Pony, and preschool games.

For Monopoly’s birthday, Hasbro has already released a Monopoly 80th Anniversary Edition with wood houses, as well as licensed Coach to produce a high-end, New York-themed edition in leather. Through March 4th in partnership with BuzzFeed, the company is collecting votes to select cities for the next Monopoly Here & Now U.S. and World editions.

Scrabble will see two new versions in 2015, Scrabble Junior (spring, $15) and Scrabble Twist (fall, $20). The former has a two-sided board. On one side, children ages 2-4 match letter tiles to words that are already filled in. The latter is a handheld electronic game where the goal is to quickly find the word among five mixed-up letters, and then press the buttons in the right order.

A new version of The Game of Life just out replaces some of the careers with video game designer, singer, and secret agent, among others. The Game of Life Junior (spring, $15) is about collecting stars while having adventures, like at the beach or zoo.

In May, ahead of the upcoming Despicable Me Minions movie, Hasbro is launching the Minions Challenge Card Game. It’ll be sold in $3 blind bags containing one Minion figure and five battle cards.

Deploy your battle cards against your opponent and keep playing until your Minion reaches the top of this score card to win!

Sounds vaguely War-like.

For Star Wars there was only one game, Loopin’ Chewie (fall, $25), but it’s one that’s generating a fair amount of excitement. Though we already wrote about it, at Toy Fair we got some pictures.

A Disney Princess Candyland isn’t new but an update this year (fall, $15) adds Princess Frog.

In the fall, Hasbro will release My Little Pony Poppin’ Pinkie Pie ($20), an inverse hot-potato type game. Players attach balloons to a birthday cake and when Pinkie Pie pops out, that player is the winner.

For the preschool crowd, Mashin’ Max (March, $10) has kids moving pawns around the board to collect berries. Max in the middle, though, spins around and smashes his fist down to capture the players’ pawns.

BoardGameGeek recently tweeted a picture of a Star Wars themed Carcassonne game. According to the gaming website, licensing for Star Wars has already been approved, but is waiting for approval on the box art, tiles, and game play mechanics.

Additional images of the game started appearing around the Internet about a week ago, during the Nuremburg-based toy fair Spielwarenmesse. ICv2 notes that the game’s original publisher Hans im Gluck Verlag announced that the game would be released in Autumn of 2015. There is no official information regarding whether Z-Man Games will produce the English version but the company’s spokesperson told ICv2 that they are in talks with Hans im Gluck to negotiate the rights of “several games.”

In other Star Wars gaming news, Hasbro just announced a new game based on the action board game Loopin’ Louie. Loopin’ Chewie was unveiled via The Nerdest.

Strangely, the game is for two to three players, which is different from the original, which maxed out at four players.

The iconic Wookie sits in a mini Millennium Falcon and spins around, taking out Stormtroopers.

The game is scheduled to launch this September at most toy and games retailers for $24.99.
