上周要出《老友记》重聚特辑的消息一出，地球都停转了。想想看，威斯康星州开了一家新的中央公园咖啡馆都让我们狂喜不已，现在可是听说我们最喜欢的6个角色要回归荧幕了呀。亚马逊独家推出一款特别的《老友记》主题“大富翁”游戏。

Last week, the world briefly¹ stopped spinning when news broke about the Friends reunion special. Just to think, we were already ecstatic over the new Central Perk²-themed coffee shop that opened in Wisconsin, and then we hear that our six faves are coming back to TV.

 

But of course, good things take time, and the unscripted reunion special (as it's not a reboot or continuation) isn't slated³ to drop on HBO's new upcoming service, HBO Max, until May.

 

How will we pass the time? It's just so far away. Well here's a suggestion: Play a nice everlasting⁴ game of Monopoly, duh! Better yet, there's now a special Friends-themed Monopoly game available exclusively on Amazon, and we're ready to clear the coffee table (and our schedules) and get down to business.

 

While the game was released in 2018, it was only available in the UK at the time. Now the US version is here, and yes, you can have it by tomorrow because it's on Amazon Prime.

 

The Monopoly Friends Edition differs from the original Monopoly as players aren't buying/selling only properties per se, but rather shelling out money for iconic moments from the series.

 

For example, if a player lands on the 'Monica Gets a Roommate' square, he or she can choose to buy the moment or not. Other squares to buy include: Ross’ Teeth, All the Thanksgivings, and Phoebe Gets Married. Just like how the classic game board features squares like "Income Tax," players of the Friends version will also be subject to pay extra fees too, if their pawn⁵ lands on the 'Central Perk Tab.' Players can also invest and/or trade Central Perk sofas and coffee mugs.
