Summary
AFortnitefan who received aMonopolyvariant of Epic Games' famous battle royale had a disappointing turn of events on Christmas morning, realizing that the code for a free in-game item that came with the board game had long since expired.Fortnitehas been a massively popular game franchise for years, but its longevity may have backfired on this one fan, who was hoping to snag some exclusive back bling.
Hasbro first releasedFortnite Monopolyin October 2018, a little over a year afterFortnite: Save the Worldfirst launched in early access. There have been several follow-ups to the launch of the first board game, includingFortnite Monopoly Collector’s Edition, which came out in 2021 with its box promising a one-time code for a set ofrareFortniteback blingitems contained inside.
However, oneFortnitefan opening this gift from their mother on Christmas morning had their elation turn to disappointment after realizing that the code contained in the three-year-old board game had already expired. Reddit user gtgcya said they were excited upon first receiving the board game, but they initially didn’t even bother opening it once they noticed the expiration date for the code, which is listed on the box as July 09, 2025. The board game’s art and locations that pay homage to the early days ofFortniteare particularly timely thanks to the recentrelease ofFortnite OG, but this fan said they rarely play board games and believe they already have another copy ofMonopoly.
Fortnite Fan Disappointed Over Expired Monopoly Gift Code
Multiple people responding to the post have shared tales of different codes that were seemingly expired, picked up from discount stores and flea markets, only to discover that the codes were still redeemable. OneFortnitefan even pointed out that their sister had recently bought a copy of theFortniteandMonopolycrossoverboard game from an Ollie’s Bargain Outlet store and was still able to redeem the code for the back bling set. After learning this information, theFortnitefan who received the Christmas gift eventually opened the box and tried to redeem the code, only to discover that it was, in fact, no longer working.
Despite that disappointing news,Fortnitefans have encouraged this player to give the board game a try. There are many versions ofMonopolythemed around different fan bases but all following the property-buying game’s basic set of rules.Fortnite Monopolyis different, however, as many fans have pointed out, incorporatingFortniteelements like building wallsand attacking other players, with one commenter explaining that the board game’s rules set closer toFortnitethan it is to Monopoly.
