Squishmallows, the popular huggable stuffed plush toys known as Gen Z's Beanie Babies, were the muse for the newest special edition of Monopoly for collectors. The Monopoly: Original Squishmallows Collector's Edition promises not just hours of fun but also an exclusive collectible 4" Squishmallows Cam the Cat Plush that can only be found in the game.
In this version of the game, players buy, sell and trade properties featuring beloved members of the Classic Squad and Fantasy Squad like Gary the Giraffe and Benny the Bigfoot. Unlike the original version of the game with the Community Chest and Chance cards, this edition boasts "Mallow Days" and "Squish Squad" cards.
The first-ever Squishmallows board game also includes custom-sculpted tokens of Cam Silhouette, Fellin' Mallow and more.
