In an exciting announcement for fans of Sarah J. Maas’s beloved series, *A Court of Thorns and Roses*, Hasbro is set to release two unique editions of Monopoly inspired by the first three books of the popular romantasy saga. The new versions will hit the shelves on October 1, allowing players to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Prythian.
The upcoming editions—both a standard release and a special Amazon-exclusive version—will adhere to the thematic elements of the novels. The standard edition features striking red artwork, while the Amazon-exclusive edition will sport an eye-catching mint green design. This latter version will also include an additional collectible gameplay token, the Suriel, which has garnered much attention from fans.
Jen Boswinkel, Vice President of Hasbro Games Global Brand Management, commented on the launch, stating, “With excitement continuing to build for what’s next in the series, we’re thrilled to offer fans a new way to experience the story they love.” She emphasised that the game presents an opportunity for players not only to engage with their favourite characters and locations but also to foster connections with friends and family.
For those unfamiliar with the tale, *A Court of Thorns and Roses* follows the journey of Feyre Archeron, a 19-year-old who finds herself ensnared in the faerie realm after killing a wolf in the woods. Throughout her adventures, she encounters the mysterious High Lord, Rhysand, and becomes embroiled in the captivating drama of a magical world on the brink of war.
The release of the sixth book in the series is anticipated for October 27, while a seventh volume is expected on January 12, 2027, making this Monopoly edition a timely addition for devoted readers.
In a move reminiscent of Hasbro’s earlier *Monopoly Fourth Wing* launch, both editions of *Monopoly: A Court of Thorns and Roses* will be presented in packaging designed to resemble hardcover novels, complete with artwork reminiscent of the series’ iconic book covers.
The standard gameplay will undergo some changes to align it with the lore of the series; traditional Monopoly money will be replaced by marks—gold and silver coins referred to within the books. Players will navigate the various courts of Prythian, acquiring properties and powers to ultimately protect the realm from the formidable King of Hybern.
The game features six character-themed tokens that players can choose from, which include items such as Feyre’s paint palette and bow, as well as Illyrian wings representing the character Cassian. Fans will also be able to enjoy a host of game-related humour through Suriel’s Truth cards and Book of Breathings cards, adding a unique flavour reflective of the novels’ tone.
Key locations from the book series will become purchasable properties in the game, including notable settings like Archeron Cottage and the Court of Nightmares. In place of traditional Monopoly landmarks, players can look forward to acquiring Rhysand’s townhouse and the capital city of Velaris, which will serve as the game’s most valuable properties.
In light of the mature themes contained within the *A Court of Thorns and Roses* series, both editions of the game are recommended for players aged 17 and older. As Boswinkel explains, the humour woven into the game’s chance cards, frequently referencing notable scenes and characters, enhances the experience for fans of the series.
Both editions of *Monopoly: A Court of Thorns and Roses* are set to be available for purchase on October 1 and will retail for £39.99. The regular edition can currently be pre-ordered from retailers such as Amazon, Target, and Walmart, whilst the special edition is exclusively available through Amazon.
As excitement builds for the new game alongside the releases of the upcoming books, fans are likely to find this unique take on the classic board game an engaging way to further immerse themselves in the magical and dramatic landscapes of Maas’s celebrated narrative.
