Play the old classics with a modern twist with the Hasbro Games Junior Collection, bringing three classic games together in one collection. Designed for younger players and their families, these three games put a contemporary slant on the games you grew up with.
In my household, traditional board games were the go to summer activity. Many a night was spent forming bitter rivalries with your siblings which sometimes ended with the upheaval of the boards and accusations of cheating. Or was that just mine?
In 2026 things are a little different and Outright Games, in collaboration with Hasbro are releasing Monopoly Junior, The Game of Life Junior and Cluedo Junior. Available on Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2, Playstation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X & S and PC via Steam you should be able to find the platform right for you
The games are available to purchase at several Australian retailers including our favourite destination for gaming, The Gamesmen

In Monopoly Junior, players can roll the dice, buy properties, collect money and make their way around the board. With simplified rules designed to make it easy to get started, every roll brings a new opportunity to take the lead, collect your properties and get closer to victory.
In The Game of Life Junior, players spin, make choices and collect stars as they travel around the board. Along the way, they’ll encounter fun activities and surprises as they make their way through the different stages of the adventure.
In Cluedo Junior, young detectives can put their deduction skills to the test as they work to solve a mystery. Players can search for clues, cross off suspects and piece together what happened as they work towards finding the answer
