When it comes to the wonderful world of board games, not all are created equally, and one of the most consistently popular is Monopoly.

It really is the ultimate bonding experience for any group, typically accompanied by a few drinks and some tasty snacks, and now there's a "Sore Losers" version coming out just in time for Christmas.

This version is perfect for anyone who absolutely hates losing and is a fantastic new twist on the classic game.

Available to purchase from British retailer Argos for $23.37 (£18), it has been described as a "hilarious twist" on the game as it "turns losing on its head and celebrates it instead".

The product description continues: "Players earn cash by doing the typically frustrating things in the game such as going to Jail, paying rent on a property, or going bankrupt. And those who really start sinking can make a comeback using the large Mr. Monopoly token that gives players advantages over everyone else."

The game was featured in the DreamToys list, which breaks down the most popular Christmas presents in the UK.

As 2020 has been a difficult year for us all, Gary Grant, the chair of the DreamToys selection committee, said that toys will be more important than ever during this holiday season.

Per ToyWorld magazin e, he said: "2020 has been a challenging year for all, but toys have entertained and educated many during lockdown.

"This year's list represents a mixture of those toys which have kept families company during these difficult times, and innovation which will impress under the tree. We hope toys will continue to bring joy to all families over the festive period - as they have always done."

He said that it's for this reason that people, particularly parents, will have to shop fast if they want to avoid disappointment this Christmas, the Mirror reports.

He said: "This is not to panic people but there will be some unhappy children at Christmas if parents aren't organized. Buying toys is very different this year.

"Our biggest concern is capacity - both for shopping in person and online for delivery. Due to Covid restrictions across the country, retailers will simply not be able to serve as many people in-store due to social distancing."
