PAWTUCKET, R.I. (November 19, 2018) – Today, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and HBO join forces to announce the launch of an all new edition of MONOPOLY: GAME OF THRONES game. Inspired by the network’s hit series GAME OF THRONES, MONOPOLY: GAME OF THRONES is being rereleased with brand-new features including customized tokens, iconic properties and graphics infused within the game board.
The MONOPOLY GAME OF THRONES Edition game will also now feature an Iron Throne card holder that plays the iconic theme song throughout gameplay. This is the first time ever that a music component has been incorporated into a Monopoly Board.
