Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart (2018)

About this game

Monopoly Gamer: Mario Kart takes the property-trading game Monopoly in a new direction thanks to the introduction of characters from Nintendo's Mario Kart games! Move around the game board as Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, or Toad; buy iconic Mario Kart properties such as Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road. Pass Go to trigger a race from Mario Kart Cup, dodge banana peel tokens, toss shells, and collect coins. A super star space activates special abilities and rolling the power-up die adds a special boost. Winning in this game is all about winning races! Who will end up with the coveted Grand Prix card? When the final race is over, the player with the highest score wins. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
