The highly anticipated MONOPOLY: Denton Edition is approaching its official release, and excitement in the community is growing. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 1st, 2024, when this unique version of the classic board game, celebrating Denton’s charm and history, will be unveiled in a grand launch event.
This special edition, a collaboration between Top Trumps USA, Winning Moves International, and Hasbro, replaces the traditional Atlantic City locations with iconic Denton landmarks, capturing the essence of the city’s rich heritage and lively culture. From Denton’s university roots to its thriving live entertainment scene, the game has been designed to reflect the local spirit.
Sarah Bowman of Top Trumps shared her enthusiasm, saying, “The board has been finalized, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.” She added, “We encourage everyone to buy the game from locally owned Denton businesses. On the day of the launch, we’ll share a list of retailers in town where you can find it.” This emphasis on supporting local businesses highlights the community-focused nature of the project.
The 22 property squares featured in the game were heavily influenced by public suggestions, ensuring that the most cherished and iconic places in Denton are represented. As the project transitions into production, custom Community Chest and Chance cards, along with Denton-themed MONOPOLY money, are being finalized. Local historians contributed to the creation of these city-specific cards, adding authenticity to the game and ensuring it reflects Denton’s unique character.
The launch event on October 1st will feature a special appearance by Mr. Monopoly himself, with local partners, government officials, and members of the press in attendance. “We’re keeping the final board a secret until the big day,” Bowman teased, further building anticipation and excitement.
