Hasbro Card Games


Hasbro released a new category of games (it's not really that new anyway) called Hasbro Card Games. Basically they are card games based on the original board games. In Singapore, Hasbro Card Games that are sold include Boggle Slam, Monopoly Deal and Pictureka Card Game. The latest one released was Cluedo Card Game but I can't find it anywhere in the store. So I am going to go through all three card games here in today's post along with the pictures.

MONOPOLY DEAL CARD GAME


I have done an unboxing of this game before and you can check it out on the sidebar. Monopoly Deal is a streamlined, card game version of the popular game Monopoly (Duh!). How do you play it? It's kinda lengthy to explain it here. Anyway, the goal of Monopoly is about property. In the actual board game, money matters. In this game though, properties matter. The more property you own, the more chances of you winning. In the card game, there are cards that represent currency, properties and action cards. It's available at all major bookstores, toy stores and department stores in Singapore for S$9.90.

BOGGLE SLAM CARD GAME


The next card game is Boggle Slam. In the US, this game is known as Scrabble Slam, but nevertheless, it's still the same thing. Just like the Original, this card game involves you playing with words. Firstly, you will start with four cards that form a four letter word. Then, you will have to keep on changing the words one letter at a time. For example, you will start with SLAM then SLAP then SLAT then SEAT and so forth. This game is available at all major bookstores, department stores and toy stores all over Singapore for S$9.90

PICTUREKA CARD GAME


Last but not least, there's Pictureka Card Game. This game involves your creativity, matching skills and you will have to complete missions. It's not really a simple game plus I rather play with words than play with pictures that look funny. Nevertheless, if you like playing with pictures and such you can get this Hasbro Card Game at all major bookstores, toy stores and department stores in Singapore for S$9.90.

Other Hasbro Card Games include Cluedo Card Game, Scrabble Slam (a US variant of Boggle Slam), Sorry Revenge, 1000 Mille Bornes, Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish, Yahtzee Hands Down, Crazy Old Fish War and Rook. Unfortunately, only the four that I have mentioned are available in Singapore. For the rest, you can buy it online at the Hasbro Online Store or Amazon. So if you don't want to spend big money on board games, you can get card versions of the board games for a fraction of the original board game price. Although the gameplay might be different from the original board games. That's it for now.
