Board games are getting a virtual reality spin. Hasbro and Oculus teamed up to create VR versions of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, and Boggle. The move will be a bolster for both brands: Oculus is beefing up its Oculus Rooms app and working to move VR into the mainstream (though AR is leading the way), while Hasbro board game revenue was down for the first quarter of 2018. Board games are trending with young consumers and this tech-driven spin could be an extra incentive to get them playing. (Kidscreen)
