Hi Huneybees,


The FIFA World Cup 2026™ has officially begun, and while not all of us can fly halfway across the world to catch the action live, bringing the tournament atmosphere home is definitely the next best thing.

Hasbro has just launched a brand-new range of officially licensed FIFA World Cup 2026 games, and whether you're a football fanatic or simply looking for something fun to play with family and friends during match nights, this collection looks like a great excuse to extend the excitement beyond the final whistle.

Each game encourages a different style of play, from strategy and trading to quick reflexes and a little friendly rivalry. And after the session, they will also make great themed collectibles to add on to your collectible displays. 


Pick Your Dream Squad with Monopoly Panini Prizm: FIFA World Cup Board Game

If you've ever argued over who deserves a spot in the ultimate football squad, this game might just let you settle it on the board.

Instead of buying streets and railroads like traditional Monopoly, you'll collect Panini player cards featuring current football stars, legendary players and memorable FIFA World Cup moments. Build your dream team, take control of historic matches and compete by comparing player stats throughout the game.

Game Changer challenges and special dice rolls keep every round unpredictable, making it feel like a football tournament where momentum can swing at any moment.

Price: SGD59.99


For Collectors: Monopoly Panini Prizm FIFA World Cup Trading Cards

As someone who appreciates collectibles, this might actually be the most tempting item in the collection.

Each Booster Box contains 24 Monopoly Panini Prizm FIFA trading cards, complete with randomly inserted rare parallels and ultra-rare cards to discover. The best part is that these cards aren't just for display. They can also be used in the Monopoly board game, allowing players to strengthen their squads before competing using each player's ratings and stats.

It's a fun crossover between trading card collecting and tabletop gaming!

Price: SGD39.99



Connect 4 Gets a Football Twist

If your family prefers games that are loud, chaotic and guaranteed to get everyone laughing, this one looks like a winner.

Instead of dropping discs, players use football-inspired cleat launchers to "kick" balls into the grid. Once someone shouts "3-2-1-BOOM!", it's a frantic race to connect four balls of the same colour before your opponent does. Everything stores neatly inside the game itself too, making it easy to bring along for gatherings or FIFA watch parties.

Price: SGD39.99



Monopoly Deal FIFA World Cup 2026 Edition

For something that's quick to learn and easy to bring anywhere, Monopoly Deal returns with a football makeover.

Players race to collect three complete player sets while using Action Cards to score goals, steal momentum or pull off dramatic last-minute comebacks. If you've played the original Monopoly Deal before, you'll know just how competitive things can become in a matter of minutes.

Price: SGD14.99


Perfect for FIFA Watch Parties

This super fun collection fits right into the FIFA season. Rather than waiting for kick-off or chatting through halftime, these games give everyone something to do before the match starts or while waiting for the next fixture. 

They're also suitable for mixed groups where not everyone is a hardcore football fan, making them an easy addition to family gatherings and casual game nights. And if you're someone who enjoys both collecting and playing, the Panini Prizm cards add another layer of excitement with the thrill of discovering rare pulls.

The Hasbro FIFA World Cup 2026 Collection is now available at Toys"R"Us stores across Singapore, online, and at participating departmental stores islandwide. let's all have fun during this kick-off season!

Hi Huneybees,


If you’re looking for a weekend plan that feels festive, meaningful, and just a little magical, the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) has you covered.

Happening this weekend from 5 to 7 December 2025, Crossing Cultures at ACM: Endings and Beginnings invites you to slow down, reflect, and celebrate the transition into a brand new year - through games, food, performances, wellness rituals, and cultural traditions from across Asia.

It’s one of those events where you can drop by casually… and end up staying for hours. And the best part is that most activities are free!


What Is Crossing Cultures at ACM?

Inspired by objects from ACM’s galleries, Crossing Cultures explores Asia’s rich intangible heritage - from food traditions and craftsmanship to performing arts, wellness practices, and year-end rituals.

For one weekend only, the museum transforms into a lively space filled with:

  • Mahjong tables and game nights

  • Fortune reading and lucky charms

  • Fire and dance performances under the night sky

  • Hands-on workshops to reset your mind (and body) before 2026

Embrace Your Wild Side with UNO®'s Exhilarating New Launch

0 comments
Hi Huneybees,




Ever played UNO®? It's been my go-to card game for ice breakers at social parties and gatherings. It was first introduced in 1971, going through several different versions; and today, UNO® is now available in over 80 countries with various innovative card-based and digital games.




Recently, Mattel, Inc announced the launch of their UNO® All Wild™ Card Deck. Consisting of only wild cards, this unpredictable and creative deck will put a new spin on the game night classic.


“This exciting twist on the traditional UNO® card game is yet another milestone on our innovation journey. It is a testament to our brand purpose of becoming more inclusive. As the number one card game in the world, UNO® has transcended time, language, culture and age, and has since evolved into the cultural phenomenon it is today. Riding on the momentum from UNO®’s 50th Anniversary last year, the brand combines current insights, trends and meme culture to bring our consumers fresh ways of playing the game.” --- Ray Adler, Global Head of Games, Mattel, Inc.

New Rules
The UNO All Wild™ variation does away with the usual coloured and numbered cards. While there is no matching of number or colour like regular UNO®, it is definitely not as easy as it sounds.
 
Get ready to challenge your friends and family with the UNO All Wild™ Card Deck and explore the limitless possibilities! Players are dealt a hand from a deck of 112 cards. Taking turns, players play Skip, Double-Skip, Draw, Targeted Draw, Reverse and Hand Swap cards until they get rid of all their cards. This edition is as addictive as it is exhilarating and makes a great gift for players 7 years and older.


Exciting Promotions
⬤ All other range of UNO® cards including the all-new UNO All Wild™ card deck - priced at S$11.90, are available at all Toys'R'Us stores, leading departmental stores, Popular Bookstores, OG stores, Mattel Official Shopee Mall, and Lazada Mall.

⬤ For a limited time, UNO® fans can redeem an UNO All Wild™ Limited Edition Pouch with a minimum purchase of S$40 on Mattel games.
*Only available at Popular Bookstores, OG stores, and online at Mattel Official Shopee Mall and Lazada Mall.
