The next time you play a game of Monopoly, you might not be landing on Park Place or Boardwalk. Instead, you could be placing your silver Scottie dog or wheelbarrow token on the Country Club Plaza or National World War I Museum and Memorial.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the end of the year and potential shopping season with the launch of Monopoly: The Kansas City Edition and to celebrate one of the Midwest’s most beloved, culturally rich, and geographically beautiful regions,” says Katie Hubbard, of Top Trumps USA, the Hasbro-owned company that makes Monopoly. “We’ve spent months creating a portrayal of the area’s dynamic communities that we hope locals and visitors alike will enjoy for years to come—we’ve incorporated important feedback from locals to make this a fun and engaging game for Kansas Citians and beyond.”
