Most of us grew up with playing Monopoly as a child, either at home or at a friend's. Does it work mixing it with Mario?

As most of you, I grew up playing traditional Monopoly. We had a box in the closet, that might be from before I was born

Always had found memories playing Monopoly with my siblings and family, even if it was rare we played together

Now that I'm older, still addicted to Mario and so are my kids (yes, I'm fully to blame) and we're always stuck inside, I wanted a game my kids could play that wasn't on a screen. Monopoly + Mario, wasn't an hard decision

What's in the box?

In the box you'll find four player tokens with characters card, that shows the characters special abilities (more on that in a bit). The four character tokens are Mario, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong and Yoshi

In addition to these four characters, it's also possible to buy additional characters separately and these characters will each have their unique abilities. These additional characters are not part of this review

There's also two six sided dices. One regular and one with special Mario themed icons, which let you do certain actions

In addition to the four character cards. There's also four guide cards, 8 boss cards and 18 tile/land cards

Gameplay

For the most parts, it is the same as traditional Monopoly. Just with a Mario coat and few additions

In addition to the traditional Monopoly gameplay. They've added boss fights, where you get the chance to fight 8 Mario bosses for every time you round the map
