The release of Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is fast approaching. Ubisoft has published further details about the new edition of the iconic board game, which this time will transport players to the Star Wars universe. The developers have revealed the full list of special abilities available to heroes and villains and explained how best to combine the different characters into teams. Everything suggests the gameplay will be much more dynamic than in classic Monopoly. Victory is set to be decided not just by dice rolls, but also by a well-chosen strategy.
Each character will get their own special ability
In Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains players will be able to choose from 28 iconic characters from the Star Wars universe, split into 14 heroes and 14 villains. Each character has a unique ability that affects gameplay. The designers have ensured balance between the two sides of the conflict. Every hero has a counterpart among the villains with an identical effect. Special abilities allow, among other things, stealing credits from rivals, upgrading owned properties, sending opponents to jail, triggering extra battles or moving faster around the board. There are also abilities that make it easier to acquire new territory and increase your chances in duels. That means each game can play out completely differently depending on the team you pick. The designers stress that choosing the right characters will become one of the most important elements of strategy. Dice rolls alone will no longer be enough to win. Players will have to plan the whole team's cooperation and exploit synergies between the characters.
Developers suggest the best team combinations
Ubisoft also revealed several sample character line-ups prepared for different play styles. Players focused on quickly acquiring properties should build a team around Padmé Amidala or Dedra Meero, whose abilities reduce the cost of purchasing locations. Combat-focused players can pick Mace Windu or Asajj Ventress, who boost their chances in duels, and then round out the roster with characters that trigger extra clashes. For players who prefer fast movement around the board there are combinations using Rose Tico, Captain Phasma, Finn or Boba Fett. There are also sets centred on earning credits or making life difficult for opponents by frequently sending them to jail. According to the developers, the number of possible combinations is very large and players will be able to experiment with their own strategies. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will offer online play and a local multiplayer mode for 2v2 and 3v3 teams. The game launches on 30 June on Xbox Series X|S consoles.
