There’d hardly be a person among the seven and a half billion people inhabiting the Earth who’s not melted for Baby Yoda from the latest Disney+ series The Mandalorian.
If you are also in love with the cute little fellow, here’s some good news. You can now buy a Monopoly board designed around cute little Yoda.
Yes, you heard it right. Hasbro has announced that they are developing a new version of Monopoly based on Baby Yoda.
The new Monopoly dubbed “The Child’s Edition” will be in the market this September and you can pre-order it now for just under $20 from Entertainment Earth from anywhere in the world.
The $19.99 pack comes with a Monopoly gameboard, 18 title deed cards, four cardboard tokens equipped with pawn stands, 16 “Camtono cards,” 16 “Bounty Puck cards,” 12 plastic common houses, 32 plastic hideouts, a money pack, 12 dice, and a how-to-play guide.
The product description from Entertainment Earth reads: “The classic game is back with a twist through The Force!”
“The Child stars in the Star Wars The Mandalorian The Child Edition Monopoly Game, and he’s brought along adventurers from across the galaxy.
“Take turns looking over intergalactic real estate in this daring mash-up of adventure and finances.
“Imagine traveling around the galaxy with The Child, or affectionately known as ‘Baby Yoda’ by fans. This Monopoly: Star Wars The Child edition board game features themes and artwork inspired by The Mandalorian live-action TV series on Disney Plus.”
Playing as The Child, you also have the option to buy and sell common houses and hideouts according to the actions written on the “Bounty Puck” or “Camtono” cards.
The rules for winning are the same as those for common Monopoly, the last man standing wins after all others go bankrupt.
Right after the release of the first episode of The Mandalorian, Baby Yoda became a celebrity across the world within just days.
It must be made clear here that the character is not officially called Baby Yoda nor is it the Yoda fans know in baby form, as The Mandalorian series shows the time following Yoda’s death.
The character is actually a younger version of Yoda’s species and we don’t know the exact name of the species for some reason.
And technically, Baby Yoda is not even a baby. He’s 50-year-old but that’s young in comparison with Yoda who died at an age of 900 years.
