I grew up in a game-loving family. I learned my numbers by playing cards with my parents and grandparents.
My husband’s family played games often when he was a kid. In addition to every Friday, they played at least once a week, too.
And we’ve passed our love of games down to our kids – but we’ve done things a little differently! While we still play board and card games at the table, we also really enjoy family game night with the help of our television.
The Hasbro Game Channel is a destination for family game entertainment on leading consoles, featuring games based on Hasbro’s most popular brands, including MONOPOLY, RISK and TRIVIAL PURSUIT. Starting this fall, the Hasbro Game Channel will be available to download on Xbox One, video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. All games will also be available for download individually on the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
For the last several years, Hasbro has been one of our favorites. We’ve been playing MONOPOLY Plus on the Hasbro Game Channel for a couple of weeks now and it’s so much fun! Last weekend my parents came over and we played MONOPOLY Plus. My dad (definitely not a techy person!) was scared of the controller but when Colin ran off, dad was able to use it. It was funny to watch him point the controller right at the Xbox. When we finished the game, dad was in 2nd place! I will say, playing MONOPOLY Plus is not very fun with my husband because he gathers up as many properties as he can and then puts houses and hotels on them. The kids and I are learning to team up and not let him have the properties he needs to form a monopoly, though!
MONOPOLY Plus brings the world’s favorite family gaming brand to a new level with the original 2D MONOPOLY board as well as a colorful and lively animated 3D version that evolves as you progress in the game. MONOPOLY Plus lets players choose their favorite ‘House Rules’ to customize gameplay. Up to six players will be able to enjoy MONOPOLY Plus online or offline. MONOPOLY Plus runs $14.99 on the Xbox One.

Thank you for this post because I didn’t even know that game channels like this existed! My boys also love to play video games A LOT so I’m going to make sure they find and use these resources as well, with my help of course!
We love Monopoly! It is one of our favorite games to play on game night.
My kids love Monopoly but now that the whole world has gone digital we don’t play it nearly enough! This sounds like the perfect way to reintroduce it and have a family game night!
I love game nights! Now that my kids are grown I miss being able to grab them at night to play a game. Now it has to be planned well in advance
What a fun twist on family game night. I would adore playing this way, and I think incorporating the tech would keep the kiddos engaged longer.
we love monopoly. it’s one of those rainy day games we all play together
I have a nephew who would love this game, he is addicted to monopoly. Its nice that it allows up to six players.
This makes me wish my internet worked a lot better than it does. It would be so fun to play these games. My siblings and I used to play Monopoly every weekend when I was a child.
I don’t play video games. But I could totally get on board with Monopoly Plus
Monopoly is so fun! We love disconnecting and having our family game nights, so fun!
I haven’t played Monopoly Plus yet, but I need to check it out. It sounds like fun.
This is a game that I could definitely play. The visuals look great, I’d love to try it!
I love this game! We have game night every weekend.
We grew up on games too! I love playing the classics with my girls now. Monopoly is definitely a favorite in our house!
Monopoly is my ALL time favorite game! I’ll definitely pick this game up once we get the Xbox One!
We are huge monopoly fans in our house. My husband doesn’t like to play with me, though, because he says I cheat. We only have xbox 360
We haven’t played Monopoly Plus yet, but it looks like a game our family would love. Thanks for sharing.
My husband has been wanting an Xbox ONE, definitely one of the games I want to get is this one! Looks amazing!
What?!! How about that! I had no idea either! Very cool!
Got to love great resources for our kids that LOVE games. Going to introduce my daughter to it and see what she thinks.
This sounds like a great game channel. I am going to have to check this out. We absolutely love games in our household.
That’s really cool. Man, how times have changed! We’re starting to get into family game time around here. Our kids are small and just really getting into board games and stuff.
This looks like such a fun game. I wish they had it on the 360 as well, not just the One.
How fun. I like the idea of the family game night. I also like the idea of the game channel. This is the 1st I’d heard of it.
