It’s finally happened – Fortnite has made the jump from video game to board game.

Epic Games and Hasbro recently revealed Fortnite Monopoly, a new twist on the classic board game featuring a Fortnite setting – and several notable changes to go along with it.

Here’s everything you need to know about what Fortnite Monopoly is, how it will differ from traditionally Monopoly, when it will be released and information about the popular Fortnite video game.

Fortnite Monopoly will offer a fresh twist on the popular and classic board game Monopoly

What is Fortnite Monopoly?

Fortnite Monopoly is an upcoming board game developed jointly by Epic Games and Hasbro, modelled after the classic Monopoly board game but with several notable changes.

How does it differ from traditional Monopoly?

The board game will differ from its classic counterpart in a number of distinct ways.

Perhaps most notably, money has been completely eliminated from Fortnite Monopoly. Instead, each player will have hit-points while the last one standing will be declared the winner – much like in the hit video game itself.

Community and chance chests in the game have also been replaced with spike traps, launch pads and glowing chests found in Fortnite, though the classic Go, Jail and Free Parking squares on the game board will all remain intact.

In addition, players will accrue properties – all of which will reportedly be based on Fortnite locations – on a first-come, first-serve basis rather than by buying it outright.

Only one regular dice will be used in the game while a second one will allow players to construct walls around their properties for defensive purposes and to employ special abilities such as boogie bombs, healing bandages and dealing damage to other players.

The board game will also offer storm cards to deal damage to the property held by other players in the game.
