Mr. Monopoly is making his way to Scottsdale! Top Trumps USA, the American division of Winning Moves International, creators of classic games and puzzles, will debut MONOPOLY: Scottsdale Edition on Tuesday, January 17, under license from Hasbro, a global branded entertainment leader.

MONOPOLY: Scottsdale Edition replaces the perennial board game’s famous Atlantic City squares (from Boardwalk to Park Place) with representations of much-loved Scottsdale cultural sites, historic landmarks, and time-honored businesses, alongside a customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure each detail of the game pays homage to the “The West’s Most Western Town.”

    • Cultural destinations (Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale Stadium)
    • Historical landmarks (Bob Parks Bronze Horse Fountain)
    • Beloved local businesses and attractions (OdySea Aquarium, The Phoenician)

  

“We consider the Scottsdale edition of MONOPOLY to be one of our best city editions of the game yet,” said Katie Hubbard of Top Trumps USA. “Not only did we incorporate feedback from the public on what essential businesses and landmarks should be included, but we have created stunning ‘only-in-Scottsdale’ visuals to accompany the board.”

MONOPOLY: Scottsdale Edition will be available in stores, including Barnes & Noble Scottsdale, Kactus Jock, Scottsdale Southwest, Southwestern Reflections, The Poisoned Pen, and online at retail partners, including Amazon and more.
