The Walking Dead Gets Monopolized

If real estate management and world domination weren't hard enough on their own, try adding zombies to the mix. Hasbro has announced Monopoly: The Walking Dead Survival Edition and Risk: The Walking Dead Survival Edition, both of which which are scheduled for a late September 2013 release.

For the Monopoly game, players can pick one of six Walking Dead-style tokens -- Rick's sheriff hat or Dale's RV, for example -- and acquire property corresponding with landmarks from the series such as the prison cells, the Greene Family farmhouse, and Woodbury. Instead of using money, players must trade in essential supplies like food, ammo and fuel to gain more territory on the board or to place a guard tower or wall instead of the standard houses and hotels.

As for the Risk set, the game designers have created a brand new map set in the Southeastern region of the United States, where gamers battle and scavenge within 32 territories. Adding a new twist to the gameplay, players will not only fend off attacks from their opponents, but they must also maintain their self-preservation from hordes of zombies that randomly spawn at the start of each players turn. A new deck of "Supply Cards" will also be added, as well as "Event Cards" referencing story events from The Walking Dead.
