      What else is there? I’m blanking and not recognizing much from searching “boardgame movie”. I thought of jumanji and zathura, but I don’t beleive that’s the kind you’re talking about. I never got around to watching Battleship. I saw Clue mentioned above but didn’t see either adaptation, however I would consider Knives Out as a session of Clue. I can certainly name multiple video game and toy movies where I do kinda enjoy the premise of their lives having rules set by the game rules, like watching an ant colony.

    Is it gonna be some kind of subversion where a sentient Thimble owns everything on the planet and charges everyone preposterously high rent until everyone but the Thimble starves to death and the Thimble realizes it actually has no wealth whatsoever?

    Or is it just gonna be like Battleship where it becomes about aliens for some reason?

    Margot Robbie will pay for her success with the Barbie movie by being made to create endless toy/game movie adaptations with various levels of relevance to the movie format.

    As a board game fan, I hate monopoly and hasbro in general for ruining countless people’s idea of what board games can be and never ever bothering to innovate or create games that are actually good quality games.

    I grew up thinking board games were boring and basically just for kids because of how awful games like monopoly are.
