Hasbro Game Night
Rated E
Nintendo Switch owners looking to scratch a board-game itch will have new options this fall with the Risk and Trivial Pursuit Live! Videogames arrive on the platform as digital downloads with exclusive new features. Both games will also be available as part of the Hasbro Game Night for Nintendo Switch compilation, along with Monopoly for Nintendo Switch, already available as a standalone. Trivial Pursuit Live! let’s players compete in teams using Versus Mode and with up to three friends in local multi console, and features 1,800 up-to-date questions (including 650 kid-friendly family questions). Risk, meanwhile, boasts improved pacing and a new top view. Both games feature new graphical, UI, and online enhancements, as well as touchscreen features exclusive to the Nintendo Switch versions.
Finally, there's a game I can actually play with my kids! The Monopoly Family Fun Pack is an exciting family game that brings a classic board games to life on the small screen. You can have up to six players. Each one just has to take a turn with the controller. You can choose to play against the computer or with other people all over the world by using the online option. This one game includes Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit Live, and RISK.
Playing the virtual versions is pretty much the same as playing the board game, except you don't have to worry about losing pieces and there are fun special effects throughout. Playing with my family was a lot of fun. Even the younger ones can take part. I really love the option of being able to save the game. We all know how frustrating it can be to have to shut down the board game after it goes on for hours with no winner. You can't leave the physical game set up on the table for days on end, but now you can pick up right where you left off in this virtual version.
Playing online wasn't quite as much fun. If your opponent leaves, the game can end abruptly. My kids prefer playing with each other or against the computer rather than going online. We also had trouble getting it to connect online at times. It would freeze a lot of just refuse to connect. This was a little frustrating, but ultimately my kids are happy with the game, so I am as well.
