Monopoly’s Gone Pink

Definitely one for the girls – a new style pink board, Fashion Boutiques, Shopping Malls and Hair Salons as opposed to traditional Hotels and Utility Companies, not forgetting pink properties and a selection of counters to choose from including a flip flop, sandal, sunglasses, hairdryer and handbag. The Boutique Edition replaces Mayfair, Park Lane and the rest with designer stores darling such as Diana’s Designer Clothing and Jillian’s Jewellery Store and keeping very much in line with the pink theme, this version comes in a pink keepsake box with its own pink dice and pastel coloured US dollars. Still within the tradition of Monopoly, players can Go to Jail and collect $200 salary as they pass Go, the only difference is they can now go on shopping sprees, pay their mobile phone bill and receive text messages when taking their turn. Encouraging dangerous gender stereotypes and quite possibly suggesting that girls can’t play the traditional version or giving little girls what they want? You decide. Exclusive to Toys R Us for £24.99.
