I’m in sort of a weird mental space, so bear with me. It’s like, Marvel and Monopoly Go have decided to mash together this summer. Yeah, you heard right. Monopoly Go — remember, the game with properties you don’t really own? — is doing this wild crossover with Marvel’s upcoming movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Anyway, it starts July 13, so jot that down if you care about it.
Not too long ago, there was another Marvel event in September. Things are moving fast, I know, but here we are again with The Fantastic Four crashing into Monopoly Go. And get this, they’ve flung open some kinda Marvel portal to mix up the worlds. Sounds like a science fiction fever dream, right? But nope, just the usual.
When the Fantastic Four come through, it’s chaos (in a fun way, probably). They’ve popped in with new game challenges, mini-games, and I think more? Sure, why not. What do you get? Glad you asked (or maybe you didn’t, but pretend you did):
First up, Fantastic Racers. Picture this: crazy race with the Fantastic Four driving old-school Fantasti-Cars. Imagine them zooming by, as Herbie waves a tiny flag and Dr. Doom throws a fit—classic chaos.
Then there’s the Fantastic Partners Event. You and your fellow players (or ‘Tycoons’—fancy word for gamers) go on a treasure hunt. But it’s not just any treasure. Nope, we’re talking about the fantastically weird kind like Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. Collect ‘Fantasticoins’—could they have thought of a clumsier name?
Now, picture diving into Reed’s lab because why the heck not? Fantastic Treasures lets you dig up some Marvel craziness like the Ultimate Nullifier (don’t ask, just go with it) and Silver Surfer’s board—surf’s up, science-style.
Oh, and Deluxe Drop. Whatever that means. The Fantastic Four drop in and leave you with some themed cosmetics. Like, dress-up but digital. Kind of like mini-Monopoly dress up. You’re still with me, right?
And for the collectors out there, get your hands on Fantastic Four tokens, emojis, and shields. Because who wouldn’t want a token of The Thing, right?
Here’s the kicker: if you’re somehow still hanging around in the game before July 13, there’s an Aqua Partners event wrapping up. Seems there’s always some event winding down. If you haven’t played in a bit, you can also peep the Monopoly Go Dice Links—sounds fancy, doesn’t it?
So yeah, Monopoly Go and Marvel. Don’t ask me how that happened, but here we are. Let’s just hope it makes sense once you see it. Or don’t. Anyway, happy rolling.
