The game is a must for a real-life group of mates who constantly relate to the Central Perk crew.

You can play as any one of the six core characters by choosing a token: there's Monica's chef hat, Ross's dinosaur, Chandler's sweater vest, Rachel's handbag, Phoebe's guitar, and Joey's pizza.

“As you pivot around the table you will be taken down memory lane of the best memories from Friends,” the brand states.

In January, we revealed how an obscure Monopoly law sent Brits into a frenzy - and it changes the way the board game is meant to be played.

One frustrated player started an intense argument with a tweet reading: "When someone lands on a property in #Monopoly & they don't buy it, IT GOES TO AUCTION for any player to buy. IT. IS. IN. THE. RULES."

If there's one thing we Brits love to argue about, it's Monopoly, but despite some initial resistance, it turns out that the auction rule is totally legit.

The game manual's section on buying properties reads: "If the player lands on an unowned property, whether street, railroad, or utility, they can buy the property for its listed purchase price.

"If they decline this purchase, the property is auctioned off by the bank to the highest bidder, including the player who declined to buy."

Being able to buy any property at auction adds a whole new strategic element to the game, and can stop it dragging on so much.

It also adds the risk-and-reward factor involved with turning down properties at first sniff so you can get them on the cheap at auction.

Previously, we told how the classic board game was binning one of its iconic pieces... and fans were furious.

We also revealed that a Disney Classic edition of the popular board game has been delighting fairy tale fans.
