The lovable Mr. Potato Head will be your host for Hasbro Family Game Night on Xbox Live beginning in March. Players will be able to play some of their favorite Hasbro board games online with their friends courtesy of EA.

The four titles creating the “full house” at launch are Scrabble, Battleship, Connect Four, and the newly announced Yahtzee. Other games including Boggle, Sorry!, and Sorry! Sliders will be added throughout the year. Players will be able to play the traditional versions of these games as well as new variations. Fans of Yahtzee will experience a new mode called “Block Out” where you can steal the category from your opponent by getting a higher score.

Players will be able to choose from multiple game rooms to play in including a tropical jungle treehouse, a secret agent’s headquarters, and more.
