Local officials and business leaders, along with Mr. Monopoly, unveiled MONOPOLY: Grand Rapids Edition at a media event on Thursday, October 9, at John Ball Zoo. MONOPOLY: Grand Rapids Edition is introduced by Top Trumps USA, the American division of Winning Moves International, creators of classic games and puzzles, and under license by Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company.

MONOPOLY: Grand Rapids Edition replaces the perennial board game's Atlantic City squares – from Boardwalk to Park Place – with local cultural sites, historic landmarks, charitable organizations, and businesses. It also features customized Community Chest and Chance playing cards to ensure the board is a historic and enduring tribute to one of the most popular destinations in the central U.S.

"We appreciate all those who suggested landmarks, organizations and businesses that make Grand Rapids unique and truly special. And we are pleased so many of them raced in to win the opportunity for a place on the board," said Lindsay Wallace, a Top Trumps USA representative.
