The Op Games Launches MONOPOLY®: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Edition
CARLSBAD, Calif., September 6, 2023 – Usaopoly (The Op), the board game and puzzle publisher behind best-selling party games including Telestrations®, Blank Slate™, and Hues and Cues™ and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, today launched the ultimate game for fans of the Griswolds with MONOPOLY®: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Edition, under license by Hasbro, a leading toy and game company. Fans can now relive the chaos of the beloved Christmas comedy in a spirited take on America’s favorite family board game.
In MONOPOLY®: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Edition, players will buy, sell, and trade locations from the hilarious holiday classic including Clark’s Lighting Display, Griswold Family Christmas Tree Site, and more. You’ll be challenged to travel the board with custom movie-inspired tokens including a Dry Turkey, Chainsaw, Squirrel, Snots, Marty Moose Eggnog Glass, or Film Reel to set up Houses, now named Decorations, and Hotels, newly dubbed Christmas Spirit, all while dodging costly Chemical Toilet Storm Drain and Jelly of the Month payments.
“We’re thrilled to be adding another iconic license to our line, especially the hilarious classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op. “We love making new, custom versions of MONOPOLY and are especially excited to launch this one ahead of the holidays so many can revisit this Christmas comedy favorite.”
Designed for two to six players, ages 15 and up, fans can rack up more Griswold Bucks with the help of “Hap-Hap-Happiest Christmas” (Community Chest) cards and “Save the Neck for Me, Clark!” (Chance) cards. Be the last player with Griswold Bucks left to win!
MONOPOLY®: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Edition (MSRP: $44.99) is available now on The Op’s website. To learn more about the new game and The Op, visit www.TheOp.Games, and follow along on social (@TheOpGames) for the latest game announcements and launches.
