CARLSBAD, Calif., May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Op Games, the board game and puzzle publisher
behind iconic licensed games and best-selling party games
Telestrations®, Blank Slate™, and Hues and Cues™, today launched a
brand-new official version of the world's most popular family board
game – MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition. Under license by Hasbro, a
leading toy and game company, this new game transforms one of the
longest-running Manga turned anime series into tabletop form,
giving fans a new adventure with the Straw Hat Crew.
In MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition, fans can join the thrilling
adventure as the crew divides into three dynamic teams: the Factory
Destruction & Samurai Rescue Team, the Ceasar Delivery Team,
and the Thousand Sunny Guard Team. Players can buy, sell and trade
iconic characters from the series including Franky, Kinemon,
Fighting Bull and Leo to create the most powerful team in
Dressrosa. Play on the exclusive, custom gameboard featuring the
Straw Hat Crew, with nine special tokens representing characters
from the series, such as Monkey D. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Robin, Brook
and more.
"We're so excited to bring one of the longest-running anime
series to tabletop, giving long-standing fans of the series an
adventurous new way to connect with these characters," said
Dane Chapin, CEO at The Op. "With
the series running for nearly 25 years, it's become loved across
several generations and we're honored to help bring them together
in a new way over MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition."
Created for two to six players, ages eight and up, MONOPOLY®:
One Piece Edition includes Chest (Community Chest) and Flag
(Chance) cards that can either reward players for fights against
the villains, or bring an unexpected surprise. Players are
challenged to form alliances with characters like Koala and the
One-Legged Soldier, and be prepared for twists and turns that add
an extra layer of excitement to the journey. Assemble the strongest
team to collect the custom game money based on the Beri currency to
win the game.
"For 25 years, One Piece has delighted fans with its
vibrant characters, colorful storytelling and epic adventures,"
says Bradley Bowman, Senior
Director, Global Toy and Game, Licensed Consumer Products at
