"Atlantic City's coveted real estate properties of Boardwalk, Park Place, and Atlantic Ave featured in the classic MONOPOLY board game have been replaced by iconic Queens sites including Astoria Park, Eddie's Sweet Shop, and the Unisphere in the newly released MONOPOLY: Queens Edition, from Hasbro and Top Trumps USA Inc., a USA division of Winning Moves International. The new board game celebrates historic landmarks, cultural sites, charitable organizations, and beloved local businesses of the diverse New York City borough."
"The game maker took thousands of submissions from local Queens residents and businesses for suggestions on which locations to include in the game. You'll see local establishments like Neir's Tavern and The World's Borough Bookshop alongside cultural institutions like Queens Museum and Culture Lab LIC, as well as famous sites like JFK International Airport, Rockaway Beach, and the USTA Stadium. Community Chest and Chance Cards take you on Queens-specific adventures such as taking a hayride through the Queens County Farm or having soup dumplings in Chinatown. While you amass your real estate empire and enjoy all Queens has to offer, you'll still have to pay loans (to Ridgewood Savings Bank) and utilities (to Con Edison). There's also that dreaded "Go to Jail" square!"
MONOPOLY: Queens Edition replaces Atlantic City properties with iconic Queens locations and is produced by Hasbro and Top Trumps USA Inc., a USA division of Winning Moves International. The board highlights historic landmarks, cultural sites, charitable organizations, and beloved local businesses from across the borough. Thousands of local submissions helped determine locations, resulting in entries like Neir's Tavern, The World's Borough Bookshop, Queens Museum, Culture Lab LIC, JFK International Airport, Rockaway Beach, and the USTA Stadium. Community Chest and Chance cards offer Queens-centered events such as hayrides at the Queens County Farm and soup dumplings in Chinatown. Standard mechanics remain, including loans to Ridgewood Savings Bank, utilities to Con Edison, and a Go to Jail square. The game is sold out online with new orders expected to begin fulfillment on December 6, 2024, and Untapped New York is running a giveaway open to paid members.
