Since then, it has seen the launch of multiple variants including <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em>, <em>Star Wars<\/em>, and <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><em>Transformers-<\/em>themed<\/span> versions. The most recent launch was 2013\u2019s <em>Risk: Plants vs Zombies<\/em>, which was a two-player edition in which players played as either of the eponymous groups. <em>Risk: Stranger Things<\/em> takes place in the town of Hawkins and lets two to five players choose whether to play on the side of good or evil.<\/p>    <p>To coincide with the launch of the <em>Hello Kitty<\/em> movie, Hasbro is also launching <em>Monopoly: Hello Kitty<\/em>. It joins a roster of hundreds of variants of one of the world\u2019s most popular games. The movie is set to release on November 1, so keen players can expect the game to launch at around the same time.<\/p><\/iframe>    <p>Finally, Hasbro also announced another variant of <em>Monopoly<\/em>, this time themed on video game hero <em>Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>. Players will race around the board in true Sonic style, trading vehicles and characters from the series of games. The game can be played by two to six players and features metal character tokens including Sonic\u2019s shoe and, of course, a gold ring.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Risk:
