Man, you ever play Monopoly and feel like you’re living in a sitcom? Yeah, me neither, but apparently, that’s the idea behind this new ad campaign for Monopoly Go. It’s called “The Dice Life” or something like that. They got Will Ferrell back—funny guy, right?—to do the voice of Mr Monopoly. And the whole thing? It’s this wild nod to those 90s TV shows we all kinda love, or maybe just tolerate. Depends on the day.
Right, so Omelet is the brainy crew behind this. They teamed up with the developers, Scopely, to crash our nostalgia party with an original theme song. Think Full House meets… I dunno, a dice game? And the cast? Oh, it’s a trip. You got Jake Johnson from that show, New Girl, and Sunita Mani from Glow. They’re in these quick, kinda chaotic skits that make you feel all the feels, you know? Like when your cousin stole Park Place and rubbed it in your face.
By the way, Monopoly Go isn’t slowing down at all. They’ve partnered up with Marvel for this Fantastic Four thing. It’s happening July 13, so mark it if you’re the type who keeps track of these things. Lots of new stuff, like mini-games and collectibles. But hey, still no word on the next Treasures Event. Those are wild. The last one was in June, I think? Time flies when you’re rolling ones.
Anyway, if you’re into freebies, grab the July Dice Links. Or don’t. I mean, who am I to tell you what to do? Guess that’s all I got for now.
