So while you’re waiting for the iPhone 4 release date (September 10th – put it in your diary) you might want to pick yourself up a board game. But regular board games are just so 1999. All the cool kids these days are worshiping at the Church of Hello Kitty, so it only seems fair that she gets to follow in the footsteps of iconic themes like Star Wars and erm… Yorkshire, and get her very own Monopoly game!
Yes you read that right. Now you can roam about Hello Kitty’s home town of London (London? I always though she was made in Taiwan!) choking on the cuteness of every five year old girls favourite cat. And not for you the form of an old boot, iron or – God forbid – silver dog, no. Now you play as your choice of a Milk Bottle, Fish Bowl, Lunch Box, Bow, Teddy, or Apples (not, as expected, a version of the title character).
You can play the traditionaltakes five million years version, or speed play in 60 minutes. And yes, you do still get to send kitty to jail. Which could make it all worth it…
Yours for £39.99 (about £26) from Think Geek.
Anyone got any future Monopoly suggestions? I for one am waiting for the Facebook version…
