Monopoly GO Teams Up with The Fantastic Four for a New Partner Event

Okay, so here’s the scoop: one of the biggest blockbusters this summer is getting cozy with Monopoly GO. Yeah, Marvel’s Fantastic Four is teaming up with Scopely. Now, don’t ask me why, but mixing superheroes with Monopoly just sounds kind of fun, right? Anyway, it all kicks off Sunday, July something-or-other—13th, I think?

Anyway, remember the Marvel event from last September? (No? Just me?) So this is kinda like that, but with more stretchy arms and invisible stuff. Seriously.

Here’s the deal: Marvel’s First Family—I mean, that’s what they call them, though it sounds super cheesy—pops into the game world on Sunday. And they bring goodies, like collectibles and shiny things to gawk at. The game universe? Transformed! I mean, imagine playing Monopoly with Mr. Fantastic, just stretching over the board to steal your property. Wait, no, that’s not how it works. I digress.

Picture this: Fantastic Racers. Just Tycoon Racers with a superhero costume makeover. Fantasti-Cars are retro-style, and you’ve got Herbie yelling (or beeping, I guess?) from the sidelines. Oh, and there’s a Dr. Doom distraction because why not?

Then there’s the Fantastic Partners Event. Collect Fantasticoins—yes, that’s apparently a thing now—and bring icons like the Human Torch and The Thing to life. Like Pokémon, but different.

And oh man, Fantastic Treasures. Reed’s lab? It’s a geek’s dream. Ultimate Nullifier, Silver Surfer’s board… I have no idea what half of these even do, but they sound cool.

Yeah, there’s more. Deluxe Drop, anyone? Sounds like a fancy sandwich. But no, it’s Fantastic Four cosmetics. Suuuuper fancy stuff for your character.

So here’s a tip: This all kicks off soon, but there’s another event—the Aqua Partners—running until the same day. Double whammy!

Oh yeah, speaking of boosts, if you’ve been slacking on Monopoly GO, maybe check out some tips (like, get those dice links!). They’re updated or whatever, for July.

Right, I’m going to stop rambling now. Superheroes, Monopoly. What a world.
