The 'Coronaopoly' board game is a cheeky take on the classic tabletop pastime that will provide players with a way to past the time when spending increased amounts of time at home this year. The board game works by having players navigate the various obstacles as they "travel" around the board and the globe to purchase properties from major locations. Players will then need to spend time in quarantine if they are instructed to do so by a medical professional.
The 'Coronaopoly' board game takes a lighthearted approach to the ongoing pandemic that could help to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety for those who are spending much of their free time at home. The game is available for purchase on Etsy and, while positioned as a work of art rather than a functional board game, could be played with a bit of augmentation.
