Hasbro Family Night Announced
Hoping to appeal to family gamers and casual nuts, EA has announced Hasbro Family Game Night, a game for families to play together, for the PS2 and Wii. Launching this Autumn, the title includes six games including Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry and Sorry Sliders.
These are all classic Hasbro games that can be played on the television, without the fuss of having to set up the boards. To make it more interesting, each of these games have been enhanced, adding “fresh dimensions and challenges” to the already fun games. Up to four players can participate in each game.
The game includes a digital game room where families can store earned trophies, furniture and decorations for their favorite games. It also includes a party mode that offers players the chance to build a custom party game by choosing their desired games, number of players and setting a time limit.
“We’re giving families a new way to bond and play together,” said Chip Lange, Vice President and General Manager of EA’s Casual Entertainment Label. “HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT offers parents and their children a digital party experience full of classic brands they know and love. Between original and new rule settings, an easy-to-play party mode and a customizable game room feature, the variety and choice promise hours of fun family play.”
