Hasbro is here to shake up your family game night. This morning, the company launched a new card game, Monopoly Deal No Mercy. This card game takes the quick-hit fun of Monopoly Deal up to a whole new level. The game is made to keep players on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Don't say we didn't warn you. 

This No Mercy version is different than any other Monopoly you might have played. If you thought regular Monopoly can get heated, you're in for a real treat with No Mercy. In this version, the property sets aren't safe anymore. You're still going to race to collect three complete sets, but in No Mercy, those sets can be stolen by other players. This makes every move a potential disaster.

Action cards have been upgraded with meaner twists. Some of these include allowing players to double rent, steal an opponent's entire bank or force card handovers when someone can't pay. Hey, it's called No Mercy for a reason, right? 

This game is for players ages 8 and up and is best played with two to five players. It makes a great game for teens, adults and anyone in between. Unlike the Monopoly board games that can take a long time to finish, this No Mercy card game can be played in about 15 minutes. It's fast, fun and Monopoly as you've never seen it. And best of all, it's only 10 bucks.Â
