PUZZLE #447: Link-Letters 12

PUZZLE #447
LINK-LETTERS 12

One of the clues in this puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

There are two clues for each numbered row. The answers to each row's first clue go in the squares to the left of the first black bar in each correspondingly numbered row in the puzzle's grid, and the answers to the second clue go into the squares to the right of the second black bar. Then a single letter (the "Link-Letter") goes in the square in the middle to complete a single word that reads all the way across. For example, if the two words are CON and ACT, you can put a "T" between them to get CONTACT.

Once you've filled out all eight rows, the central letters will spell out two words reading down. Add a letter between those two words in the red square to get this week's FINAL ANSWER: the name of a board game from the 1980s


1) Golden monetary unit that you collect a ton of in New Super Mario Bros. 2
    "Beware the _____ of March" (line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar)
2) Ancient Egyptian pharaoh who took the throne at around age 8
    Yemeni money
3) 5:1 or 4:3, e.g.
    Partner in a peace treaty
4) Susie the Little Blue Coupe from the Disney short of the same name, for one
    It's to the right of the apostrophe key on an American keyboard
5) Instrument played by the Phantom of the Opera
    Synonym for "zest" that starts with the same letter
6) Thigh's muscle group, for short
    Insect in a tiny "farm"
7) Long-lasting wavy hairstyle
    "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" poet Robert
8) Wrigley's first sugarfree chewing gum
    Legendary Red Sox player Williams
9) Vehicle that Keanu Reeves needs to keep going above 50 miles per hour in Speed (1994)
    _____ mass index

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
