If you’ve ever found yourself sitting around after the Lo Hei, scrolling on your phone while waiting for the next round of snacks, you’re not alone. Chinese New Year visits are joyful, but there’s often a lull once the food is done and conversations quieten down. That’s where having a simple, festive activity can make all the difference.
This Lunar New Year, Monopoly Chinese New Year Celebration: Year of the Horse Edition offers an easy way to turn those in-between moments into shared laughter and friendly competition, without needing to explain complicated rules or set up anything elaborate.
Designed with Lunar New Year traditions in mind, the board is dressed in auspicious reds and golds, instantly setting the festive mood. It feels right at home on the coffee table during house visits, drawing both adults and children in with its celebratory design. Even relatives who “don’t usually play games” will linger and watch the game once the dice rolls.
The Monopoly Chinese New Year Celebration Edition Board Game includes a festive gameboard, the 3D Zodiac Wheel, 6 gold-colored tokens and markers, 6 title deed cards, 12 Fortune cards, 18 Hongbao cards, 2 dice, money pack, and a game guide.
Instead of the usual properties, this edition has you collecting themed shops and festive gifts, all in the spirit of finding good fortune. One of the most entertaining moments comes from the 3D Zodiac Wheel — a small but exciting twist that keeps the table engaged. It’s the kind of feature that sparks reactions, teasing and laughter, especially when luck takes an unexpected turn.
The Hongbao cards also feel especially fitting for the season. Players give red envelopes to one another, gaining or losing money depending on timing and generosity which is a playful nod to real-life Lunar New Year traditions that makes the game feel timely rather than just themed.
With 6 gold-coloured tokens to choose from - a Horse, Firecrackers, Lion Dance Head and Yuan Bao, it’s easy for everyone to pick something that feels personal. The game supports 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up, making it flexible enough for mixed-age gatherings during visits.
Whether you’re hosting relatives at home, visiting extended family, or looking for something to do while waiting for the next round of visiting, this Monopoly edition fits naturally into the rhythm of Chinese New Year. It’s screen-free, inclusive, and doesn’t require everyone to be deeply competitive, just willing to sit down and play.
If you’re planning ahead for the festive season and wondering how to keep guests entertained beyond food and conversation, this is one option that brings people together around the table — and keeps the good fortune rolling.
The Monopoly Chinese New Year Celebration: Year of the Horse Edition is priced at S$51.90 and is available at Toys’R’Us stores islandwide, with festive offers and deals (up to 25% off) available in-store for selected Monopoly & Hasbro Gaming Board Games!
For families with younger kids, there’s also a festive find worth noting. The Lunar New Year Furblet Luck-Ee is currently going at $9.90 for a limited time, available exclusively at Toys’R’Us — a fun, affordable option if you’re looking for something small and festive during the New Year period.
