Geek Daddy Blog

Think you can do a better job of creating a basketball dream team than today's NBA General Managers? Give it a shot with a new edition of MONOPOLY PRIZM that incorporates players from the 2023 - 2024 NBA season into the game play of this board game. MONOPOLY PRIZM: NBA 2ND EDITION BOARD GAME from Hasbro is available exclusively at Target beginning February 18 until August 1 when other retailers will also carry it. 

Collect, trade, and compete in the Monopoly Prizm: NBA Edition 2nd Edition board game—with 2023-24 Panini NBA trading cards! In this version of the Monopoly game, players use the Panini cards to draft their own team of 4 NBA players. Then, instead of buying Properties, they try to take control of NBA Games and collect points from opponents who land on them.

To earn more points, players reveal and compare the stats on their Panini cards when they compete in Playmaker challenges and NBA Award contests. They can also use the Panini cards to trade NBA players or draft new ones. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins! Looking for fun games for Family Game Night or cool gifts for kids or collectors? This strategy board game for kids and adults who love basketball is a slam dunk!

The base game comes with Panini Prizm trading cards featuring16 real life NBA players. A booster box can be purchased separately which adds an additional 24 players that be incorporated into the game. Using these Panini Prizm cards in the Monopoly Prizm: NBA Edition board games, players can draft and trade NBA Players to build a team, and then compete against opponents by comparing NBA Player Ratings and Stats.

Enjoy a Family Fun Night with Star Wars games from Hasbro

 ** A Geek Daddy received the featured products to review for free **
We try to devote an evening each week for either a family movie watching or game night, but recently we combined those two themes to enjoy a Family Fun Night playing some great Star Wars games from Hasbro.  My passion for Star Wars has rubbed off on my kids so our whole family was excited about having some fun playing games like STAR WARS LOOPIN' CHEWIE and STAR WARS R2-D2 BOP IT!  Thanks to our friends at Hasbro, we're also sharing our excitement about these great games by giving away a huge prize pack of Star Wars games to one lucky A Geek Daddy blog reader.


Both of my children really had fun with Loopin Chewie which we played for over an hour during our Family Fun Night.  While my son tends to be more of the Star Wars fan of my two kids, the competitive side of my daughter really came out as she faced off against her brother and parents - she had such a blast playing this game I don't need the Force to foresee us playing Loopin Chewie a lot more in our future.



One of the most recognizable characters from the Star Wars saga, Chewbacca, has been combined with the wild fun of Hasbro's popular children's game LOOPIN' LOUIE to bring zany, fun-flying action from a galaxy far far away to your home right now.  Recommended for ages 4 & up, players must help CHEWIE co-pilot the MILLENNIUM FALCON by sending him swinging straight into the STORMTROOPERS on the other players racks.  Use the lever in front of you to knock the Millennium Falcon away from your rack of stormtrooper helmets as it soars around the play area while trying to swing it into your competitors rack.  Time when you hit the lever just right and you can really get Chewbacca flipping the Millennium Falcon around.  The last person with a stormtrooper helmet not knocked over is the winner of LOOPIN' CHEWIE!


Another game our whole family enjoyed was BOP IT! STAR WARS  R2-D2 Edition Game.  Since we got this game there have been a few times I've been at home and heard R2-D2 chirping in the other room to find my wife playing this game.  In this game where you have to quickly follow instructions to bop it, twist it or pull it my wife has gotten up to 62 repetitions.  Impressive, most impressive especially when I average about twenty before messing up and my daughter is at about eight.  My daughter has really latched onto this R2-D2 Bop It! game not only because she likes playing the game but it is also a sturdy built model of the droid and has great sound effects to also make it perfect for just playing pretend Star Wars adventures with her other toys.




Just like the classic BOP IT! game, players must twist, bop, and pull the R2-D2 figure in response to his commands to be the last JEDI standing in this fun and fast reactionary memory game.  The BOP IT! STAR WARS R2-D2 Edition Game which is recommended for ages 8 and up features STAR WARS movie sounds and the voice of C-3PO.  If this cool toy has caught your attention note that it is exclusively available at Wal-Mart.  I honestly have to say this is one of the best Star Wars branded items I've come across recently and if you are shopping for a fan this is something that is sure to delight if you pick it up for them.
