Kansas City Unveils Monopoly Kansas City Edition

Hasbro and Top Trumps announce the latest version of Monopoly outside of the National World War I Museum together with the Kansas City community.

KANSAS CITY, MO, November 02, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Calling all Kansas City Lovers, Monopoly lovers… You can now roll the dice to buy, trade, add houses and hotels to your favorite Kansas City landmarks! "Monopoly Kansas City Edition" was released last week through a collaboration between Hasbro and game company Top Trumps USA. Among the places game players can land on are the Western Auto Sign, Nelson Atkins Museum, Arrowhead Stadium, Country Club Plaza, Zona Rosa, Made in KC, and many others.

So, why did they choose Kansas City?

Our culture! Kansas City is a big city with small town vibes. We have beautiful parks, great schools, a love for all things sports, good food and art: the perfect making for a good Monopoly game.

Not only is Kansas City filled with the nicest people in the midwest, but you'll be embraced by a city rich with history and culture. Uncover Kansas City's charm by discovering its abundant attractions and local pride. Whether you're a local or just visiting, there's plenty to enjoy.

Spanning two states, Kansas and Missouri, Kansas City is famous for its eponymous barbecue style, a vibrant blues and jazz music scene, the famous Country Club Plaza and a few professional sports teams with the most devoted fan bases an athlete could ever wish for. Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains" because it is second only to Rome in its number of water features, as well as the "Paris of the Plains" because it is second only to Paris in its number of boulevards.

Representatives of Top Trumps presented the game on Wednesday, October 26 — unveiling the board squares with the largest local board ever presented. It included the Mr. Monopoly mascot, as well as business owners featured in the game.

"We have truly fallen in love with Kansas City," Top Trumps rep Brooke Gorman said. "Instantly when we came here, all the locals were easily some of the nicest people we've ever met."

A life-sized Monopoly board was set up outside of the National World War I Museum, ready for a game at the reveal event. Mayor Lucas was in attendance and rolled the giant dice as the board was uncovered. "I could not be any more excited [...] more than anything, being able to share the Kansas City spirit — one of success, of ingenuity, perseverance, and this exciting place in the middle of America that really is on an incredible trajectory to become one of the world's greatest cities," he said.
