If Fortnite has taken over your house, you’ll know the struggle of prising a controller out of your tween or teen’s hands. Hasbro partnered with Epic Games to bring the world of Fortnite off the screen and onto the table with a Fortnite-themed edition of Monopoly — and it might just be the game night twist that gets your gamer to switch off and sit down with the family instead.

About Fortnite Monopoly
In the Fortnite edition of Monopoly, players claim locations, battle opponents, and try to avoid the Storm to survive — all wrapped around the familiar property-trading format fans already know.
The game’s design and components borrow directly from the video game, including recognisable Fortnite locations and loot chest cards.
Instead of collecting Monopoly money, players earn health points. Each player first picks a character from a choice of outfits, then it’s time to battle. An action die lets players pick up health packs, build walls, and damage opponents as they move around the board.
Every time a player passes Go, they unleash the Storm — avoid it, or lose health points.
Just like in the Fortnite video game, the last player standing wins.
As with the classic version, Fortnite Monopoly is designed for 2 to 7 players. The box recommends ages 13+, but given how many parents already let their tweens play the video game, that age guidance may not be a barrier for younger fans in your house.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Fortnite Monopoly suitable for?
The packaging recommends ages 13+, but many families with younger Fortnite fans find it works well for tweens too, especially with an adult or older sibling playing along.
How many players can play?
Like the classic version, Fortnite Monopoly is designed for 2 to 7 players.
Is Fortnite Monopoly very different from regular Monopoly?
Yes — instead of collecting cash, players earn health points, choose a character outfit, and use an action die to build walls, grab health packs, and battle opponents. Passing Go triggers “the Storm,” a nod to the video game’s core mechanic.
Where can I buy Fortnite Monopoly?
It’s worth checking major toy retailers and online marketplaces, as stock and editions can vary — your usual retailer is the best place to confirm current availability.
