Grab your dice and get ready to roll through the streets of Charm City, because MONOPOLY just got a lot more Baltimore. On October 24th, the unveiling of MONOPOLY: Baltimore Edition is slated to take place at Power Plant Live!, promising a board game experience woven with local flavor, CBS News reported.
The city's iconic cultural sites, historic landmarks, and beloved businesses will replace the usual Atlantic City squares, offering players a taste of Baltimore in every property deal, the game crafted by Top Trumps USA, with Hasbro's blessing, will feature tailor-made Community Chest and Chance cards as well as spaces dedicated to various charitable organizations—because if there's one thing that screams Baltimore, it's a community that cares as much about giving back as it does about their Orioles and blue crabs.
"The Baltimore edition is a love letter to Baltimore," Tim Barney, a representative from Top Trumps USA, stated, as per FOX Baltimore, expressing appreciation for the community's input in selecting the landmarks and businesses that will adorn the board. From Barnes & Noble to Amazon to local spots like the Maryland Zoo and Miss Shirley's, you'll find the game in stores and online, making it the perfect holiday gift for anyone whose heart belongs to B'more.
The launch event itself is shaping up to be a party any Baltimorean wouldn't want to miss, starting at 7 p.m., expect live music, food, drink specials, and activities including country line dancing and karaoke.
