Monopoly gets cutthroat in Hardcore Tabletop, Rooster Teeth’s new unscripted show. Pitting six Rooster Teeth employees against one another, the first season will feature an epic game of Monopoly — with equally epic costumes — played with real money and a real jail in a winner-takes-all brawl that will see the champ collect everything in the bank at the end of the season.
Hardcore Tabletop will, yes, feature your average tabletop Monopoly board, but also expand elements of the game and take them quite a bit more literally than your average player. The first two episodes are available now on Rooster Teeth’s website. The first episode is free to watch, but the second episode — and all future episodes — will be available exclusively to viewers with a membership to First
, Rooster Teeth’s subscription service. First plans start at $2.99 per month.Rooster Teeth is hard at work on more scripted shows, having recently kickstarted a $2.5 million animation fund that will help digital creators develop new animated properties. Rooster Teeth’s own animated shows include hit ongoing anime RWBY and the upcoming gen:LOCK, which will feature stars like Michael B. Jordan, Dakota Fanning, and Doctor Who alum David Tennant.
Like Hardcore Tabletop, gen:LOCK and any new animated properties will premiere on First.
New episodes of Hardcore Tabletop will air weekly, so let the games begin.
