MONOPOLY: Cricket Edition is envisioned and designed in India by Hasbro in collaboration with Mozaic Games, a game design agency based in Bengaluru. The game is made in India, strengthening Hasbro’s commitment to boost local manufacturing in the country.

With this breakthrough launch, fans, families and kids across ages are in for an engaging, immersive brand experience.

In MONOPOLY: Cricket Edition, the properties are star cricketers, and every star cricketer has a skill – batting, bowling, or fielding. Every time a player passes or lands on GO, they'll trigger a Match. Players compete by challenging any other player to be their opponent. Both the players start as a batter or a bowler – and then switch roles! The winner earns points and performs a bonus action. Players can take on the role of a cricket team manager and build a dream team, trade players, and win mini cricket matches during the game to become the ultimate winner. In this game, the objective is to collect as many points as possible by hiring star cricketers and winning matches.
