Birthday Month Giveaway on May 22, 2017 - Monopoly Game: Pokémon Johto Edition

My grandsons enjoy playing Monopoly and they enjoy collecting Pokemon cards, so a combination of Monopoly and Pokemon is sure to be a hit! When I saw USAopoly had just such a game, I asked them if it was available for review - they said it was, and another is available for me to give away as well! So, today I'm happy to let you know about this game from USAopoly - and their Super Mario Chess game as well.

I know my grandsons - especially the five-year old - will be thrilled to play Monopoly Game: Pokémon Johto Edition as he is a fan of both Monopoly and Pokemon. I especially like how it includes rules for a shorter game, as we often do not have time for a regular long game.

USAopoly also sent me their Super Mario Chess Collector's Edition Tin to review. My eight-year old grandson really loves to play chess and the five-year old is learning, so I'm confident they are going to be very happy to see this new chess game! 

USAopoly says; "Mario and Bowser are battling it out once again; this time in the classic game of Chess! Pick your team and take control of 32 hand-painted playing pieces including: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and more."

I love how USAopoly combined the fun of Super Mario with the game of chess - perfect for children . . . or any fan or Mario! The pieces are easy to hold, and make playing more interesting for sure! I love how chess helps children to think logically and strategically.
