Fort Lauderdale Joins Monopoly Family
From Boardwalk to the Venice of America! Fort Lauderdale is making Monopoly history
Fort Lauderdale, often hailed as the "Venice of America," is set to achieve a new milestone by becoming the latest city to be immortalized in the iconic board game, Monopoly. This exciting development comes with the announcement of MONOPOLY: FORT LAUDERDALE Edition, an innovative version of the beloved classic, produced by Top Trumps USA in collaboration with Winning Moves International and licensed by Hasbro.
The highly anticipated edition, slated for release this December, will replace the familiar Atlantic City squares with renowned Fort Lauderdale landmarks, businesses, and nonprofits, offering players a fresh and localized gaming experience. Custom elements, including Community Chest and Chance cards, as well as Monopoly money, will be tailored to reflect the vibrant culture and rich heritage of Fort Lauderdale.
Mayor Dean Trantalis expressed his excitement, stating, "Generations of people have enjoyed playing the traditional Monopoly game and it is a real honor for Fort Lauderdale to be featured in such an iconic game. A Fort Lauderdale edition of Monopoly is another way to share with the rest of the world the great news about what a wonderful place Fort Lauderdale is to call home."
In a bid to create an authentic representation of the city, Top Trumps USA is actively involving the community in the development process. Residents are encouraged to submit their suggestions for local landmarks and businesses that they feel should be highlighted on the board. Moreover, local enterprises and nonprofits have a unique opportunity to secure their spot on this historic edition, making their mark in a game played by millions worldwide.
Submissions and business inquiries can be directed to fortlauderdale@toptrumps.com. This collaborative initiative aims to ensure that MONOPOLY: FORT LAUDERDALE Edition truly captures the essence of the city, featuring its most beloved and iconic elements.
As the launch date approaches, Fort Lauderdale residents and visitors can anticipate seeing some of the city’s most iconic sites represented. Possible inclusions might be the picturesque canals, the historic Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, the bustling Las Olas Boulevard, and the scenic Fort Lauderdale Beach, among others.
The game will be available for purchase in stores and online through major retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon, as well as selected local shops. This holiday season, the Fort Lauderdale community and visitors can look forward to celebrating the city in a novel and entertaining way, bringing the magic of Monopoly and the charm of Fort Lauderdale into homes around the world.
