PAWTUCKET, R.I. (November 19, 2018) – Today, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) and HBO join forces to announce the launch of an all new edition of MONOPOLY: GAME OF THRONES game. Inspired by the network’s hit series GAME OF THRONES, MONOPOLY: GAME OF THRONES is being rereleased with brand-new features including customized tokens, iconic properties and graphics infused within the game board.
