Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS), in collaboration with Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA), will bring some of the world’s most popular digital game brands to life with a new line of games based on Zynga’s Words With Friends, FarmVille, CityVille and Draw Something brands.

The line will hit store shelves this month (October) at most major U.S. retailers and will also be available globally this fall in the U.K., Australia and Canada.

With the new games, fans can choose from FarmVille inspired characters in the Hungry Hungry Herd game to see who can gobble up the most apples, race to build their dream cities in the CityVille Monopoly game, play their best word combinations in the Words With Friends game, and showcase their artistic abilities in the Draw Something game.
