The Op Games Launches MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition Based on Hit Anime Series

In Celebration of One Piece’s 25th Anniversary, Fans Can Jump into the World of Dressrosa as They Assemble Powerful Teams in This All-New Board Game Edition

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Op Games, the board game and puzzle publisher behind iconic licensed games and best-selling party games Telestrations®, Blank Slate™, and Hues and Cues™, today launched a brand-new official version of the world’s most popular family board game – MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition. Under license by Hasbro, a leading toy and game company, this new game transforms one of the longest-running Manga turned anime series into tabletop form, giving fans a new adventure with the Straw Hat Crew.

In MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition, fans can join the thrilling adventure as the crew divides into three dynamic teams: the Factory Destruction & Samurai Rescue Team, the Ceasar Delivery Team, and the Thousand Sunny Guard Team. Players can buy, sell and trade iconic characters from the series including Franky, Kinemon, Fighting Bull and Leo to create the most powerful team in Dressrosa. Play on the exclusive, custom gameboard featuring the Straw Hat Crew, with nine special tokens representing characters from the series, such as Monkey D. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Robin, Brook and more.

“We’re so excited to bring one of the longest-running anime series to tabletop, giving long-standing fans of the series an adventurous new way to connect with these characters,” said Dane Chapin, CEO at The Op. “With the series running for nearly 25 years, it’s become loved across several generations and we’re honored to help bring them together in a new way over MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition.”

Created for two to six players, ages eight and up, MONOPOLY®: One Piece Edition includes Chest (Community Chest) and Flag (Chance) cards that can either reward players for fights against the villains, or bring an unexpected surprise. Players are challenged to form alliances with characters like Koala and the One-Legged Soldier, and be prepared for twists and turns that add an extra layer of excitement to the journey. Assemble the strongest team to collect the custom game money based on the Beri currency to win the game.

“For 25 years, One Piece has delighted fans with its vibrant characters, colorful storytelling and epic adventures,” says Bradley Bowman, Senior Director, Global Toy and Game, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro. “It’s an honor welcoming such an iconic franchise into our portfolio and offering One Piece, anime, MONOPOLY, pop culture and gaming fans everywhere the opportunity to enjoy this brand-new gaming experience.”
