Roald Dahl Monopoly Board Game

Roald Dahl Monopoly Board Game

Core Systems Roald Dahl Monopoly reimagines the traditional property-trading gameplay with a whimsical twist inspired by the beloved stories of one of Britain’s most iconic authors. Instead of streets and railways, players collect scenes and settings from books like *Matilda*, *The BFG*, *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*, and *James and the Giant Peach*. Classic Monopoly mechanics remain intact but are infused with literary magic and mischief.

Flow of Play Players take turns traveling across a storybook-themed board, acquiring famous locations such as Miss Trunchbull’s School, Giant Country, or Willy Wonka’s Inventing Room. Instead of houses and hotels, players build “Story Pages” and “Chapters” to increase rent. Special cards like “Gobblefunk Surprise” and “Marvelous Mischief” deliver unexpected turns of fate, inspired by Dahl’s signature blend of humor, justice, and absurdity.

Setting and Tone The tone of the game is imaginative, witty, and wonderfully strange — true to the spirit of Roald Dahl’s timeless tales. Whether you’re helping Matilda outsmart her headmistress or floating with the BFG in a jar of dreams, every moment on the board is a tribute to clever kids, curious worlds, and just a hint of danger wrapped in delight.

Visual Style and Materials Featuring Quentin Blake–style illustrations and hand-drawn details, the board is filled with energy and charm. Tokens are inspired by iconic objects from the stories — such as a golden ticket, a giant peach, a magic book, and a snozzcumber. The cards and money are illustrated with doodles and wordplay, while the box itself feels like a well-loved storybook ready to be opened.
